Interesting response! By the way, @Red, what do you think about Christian Science? http://philosophicalvegan.com/viewtopi ... =17&t=7620

As an anarchist, I think I need to buy into "COVID denialism". Not necessarily the "It's just the flu."-type denialism, but the "Virus gonna virus."-type denialism seems to be necessary for anarchism. Maybe denying massacres is not necessary for anarchism, but "denying" the pandemics is.

By the way, @Red, how do you make your belief that pandemics can be easily contained using lockdowns, social distancing and masks compatible with environmental veganism? If pandemics can be easily contained using lockdowns, social distancing and masks then superbacteria aren't that much of a problem. There is no need for people to go vegan to avoid a pandemic of superbacteria, all we need to have is governments that are willing to crack down in case of a pandemic. Am I missing something?

By the way, @Red, do you have any actual empirical studies that show that cloth masks work to a statistically significant degree in the real world? You know, like the Bengali study found a barely-statistically-significant result for surgical masks? I would be amazed if that were the case.

There were problems rather than really significant benefits to wearing the masks for COViD. And the shots for COVID created problems, and in some cases death, while information on COVID deaths were with exaggerated numbers. Yet people generally are not willing to admit even to themselves that they have been had. There is less freedom for us and government is telling us more of what to do.

Government really does get worse, it actually has to be guarded from that, or to say it another way, with having government the government is what has to be governed.

Why do any people who trusts in their government so much? Can't they see to do things that are right without being parented by government being there? Do you need that?
