"If we can't separate out the wacky conspiracism - and the associated paranoia - from the physical reality when it comes to something relatively simple like covid, how the #### are we going to when it comes to something much more complex and orders of magnitude more threatening like climate change?"
That's what gets me. This pandemic is relatively minor compared to what we might expect in the present to future. What a society that actually cares about its citizenry should be doing on a basic level is learning to streamline fundamental prevention strategy and fast tracking antidote/vaccine routes.
The striking thing is that governments seem intent on proving themselves utterly incompetent on this basic level.
Its not the loony non-believers that worry me the most, it's the deliberate abrogation of responsibility for the health of nations due to governments applying their social Darwinist leanings. Mix that with climate change issues and we will be living a nightmare.
