Did you guys know that bridges help people cross rivers?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I've seen enough bridge failures to know that they're all dangerous. You can't fool me - I'd rather drive through a river than take one of your so-called "safe" bridges. At least in my truck I'm in control, and my F150 with these snazzy AT tires and my belief in God can get me further than some steel and concrete "bridge" that some engineer in a lab cooked up.

What about their effectiveness?

I get that the first few versions might have stemmed the tide of the pandemic early on .. but how effective are the new doses now?

I'm not an antivacer but I do question the way the pandemic was handled and continues to be handled. I trust scientists, I trust the medical community, I trust our current level of knowledge and expertise ... I even trust our government to do the best they can with what they have ... I just don't trust seeing big corporate interests quietly influencing everything in the background.

I certainly don't trust anyone or anything that reprimands me or is threatened by my questions or concerns.

I would feel a whole lot better about all this if corporate and financial interests were completely disconnected from all our health care and pharmaceutical systems. Basically, anything that has to do with human bodily health should not be controlled or deeply influenced by monied interests.
