I’m going to be that guy to say… The world is better off from it.

Nah, if it was only the stupid doing it to themselves that would be fine, but as someone on the medical field, you have no idea of how many cases I saw of little kids and elderly patients who were fed those pills by their loved ones.

It's astonishing how much aoe dmg stupidity does.

One of my relatives did the same when I tested positive, even writing an rx for me and really pushing it. Never took any and this story makes me even more glad I didn’t listen to the facebook research

There’s always going to be innocent casualties. With the sheer stupidity these people possess, and the legality of them being able to breed- there is no way to avoid it.

the legality of them being able to breed

A eugenics comment? This isn't r/antinatalism is it?

Many good people aren't that savvy in all fields and have a peer pressure to try this and that, especially when disinformation is louder than truth. They can have good reasons like not making their fragile elderly ill, and there's a gossiped ultimate cure to that. Can you blame them they choose it? They are a small part of that problem under the towering issue of grifters, fakes, conspiracies running amok.

Yeah. I can blame them. It’s 2024. We are so technology-ladened that a wealth of information is available to anyone with half a brain to look for it. There no excuse for ignorance anymore.

First Death came for dummies. but I didn't care for I'm not one of them.

There are conditions making them so completely misguided, bigoted, stupid. And, in a sense, they'd die off eventually, like we all would. But these profitable institutes of misinformation wouldn't, so there would be even more of them with each gen if you let them thrive.

Individual cells deformed by radiation carry a little weight over body disfunction. You can act like a leicocyte and fight them. But the source of radiation wouldn't go away even if you slay all of them.

I pity the children that died from this nonsense. As for the other ones, not so much.
