Things like this are causing real dissonance for me. We've got people doing amazing, important, next-level development - alongside our Idiocracy slide. If it was just doom on the horizon, I feel like things would be simpler to process. I guess that kind of thinking gives rise to accelerationism.

If it improves billionaires' lives, they'll make it happen.
The idiocy was always there. We've just been better at seeing it.
Don't worry you won't get the vaccine, it's still doom and gloom.
Or maybe it’s just like everything else: not really dumbing down but oozing like pus out to the extremes. We caught a severe case of idiocy, because we didn’t think we needed to vaccinate for that and scientific progress continues ever faster, but where did mediocre, adequate or common sense go?
Just like so many new gig or service sector jobs paying close to minimum and record pay for tech workers, but where did the middle class go?
Or like politics which seems to be a blood sport now but where are actual undecideds who will find out actual facts and care who they vote for
RFK Jr. is already kicking into high gear.
We'd still be living in the 21st century without his appointment. Can you imagine?
But UHC and other “insurance” companies will deny coverage and question the vaccine’s necessity.
And they’ll be expensive as fuck I bet
Probably cheaper than cancer treatments. If you live in a normal country that has universal healthcare it would be a bargain for the government to purchase such a vaccine in-bulk. Then, with time, the prices would go down.
Of course, of you live in the US ... yeah, you're kinda fucked.
