I think it was disinfectant that was recommended for chugging. That and putting lights inside my lungs.

It's not even a new thing. Here is what happened to the Captain of the USS Indianapolis after successfully delivering, in secret, the bombs that were used to end WW2. On the way home they were attacked by a Japanese sub and the ship sank.

Captain Charles B. McVay III, who had commanded Indianapolis since November 1944 through several battles, survived the sinking, though he was one of the last to abandon ship, and was among those rescued days later. In November 1945, he was court-martialed on two charges: failing to order his men to abandon ship and hazarding the ship. Cleared of the charge of failing to order abandon ship, McVay was convicted of "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag". Several aspects of the court-martial were controversial. There was evidence that the Navy itself had placed the ship in harm's way. McVay's orders were to "zigzag at his discretion, weather permitting"; however, McVay was not informed that a Japanese submarine was operating in the vicinity of his route from Guam to Leyte. Further, Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto, commanding officer of I-58, wrote in his testimony to Senator John Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, that zigzagging would have made no difference.[38] Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz remitted McVay's sentence and restored him to active duty. McVay retired in 1949 as a rear admiral.[39]

While many of Indianapolis's survivors said McVay was not to blame for the sinking, the families of some of the men who died thought otherwise: "Merry Christmas! Our family's holiday would be a lot merrier if you hadn't killed my son", read one piece of mail.[40] The guilt that was placed on his shoulders mounted until he killed himself in 1968, aged 70.[41]

An example I learned of recently is Smedley Butler. Super decorated military careerist, but once he got out, he wrote War is a Racket and called out the corporate profiteers directly. The man basically singlehandedly foiled an attempt to coup the US government and prevented fascism from corporations like JP Morgan, City National Bank (Citibank), General Motors, Goodyear, Standard Oil, and more. Congress investigated and confirmed there was a coup planned and they would have acted. And since these companies don't exist anymore, we can see that they were prosecuted and held accountable.

Oh wait, that's right, they slandered Butler, called the whole thing a hoax and paid off the papers and members of congress to run the stories so that no one faced accountability.

I was delivering packages on Sundays during Covid, and retirement homes were always the scariest to deliver to because I was very conscientious of the fact I could be infected and I did not want to pass it through those doors. Fortunately most places had notes to drop packages at the front doors, but each of those deliveries was another chance to worry for the elderly inside. Thanks for working through that time, but also I’m sorry you did.

nursing homes, retirement community, centers are rife with abuse/neglect already.

Thank you for being there with our elders during such a horrifying time. If not for brave people like you they would have been alone.

The New England Patriots used their private plane to smuggle PPE into the country because the regime was stealing shipments off the runway.

I, like Pepperidge Farm, also remember. That was such a massive shit show, I have no idea how the Administration Responsible for PPE Hijacking managed to get a second installment of the show going. That really should have been the end of them all.

IT happened in Maryland too. The took it right off the Tarmac.

To be fair, ICE agents do demonstrate a correlation between masks and brain damage. (The causality just happens to go the other way.)

Even just a decade ago.

You know, I used to think there was a possibility of Human self-destruction simply because we're slow to react to say the climate crisis.

I didn't think it would happen because a large portion of humans have become literal idiots.

That was a nasty wake up call during corona.

Yep. It hit Japan hard too, anti mask anti vax fuckwits multiplied, oh and vaccines cause autism too didn't ya know
