If only there were some way to prevent this suffering… but it might cut into billionaires’ profits, so I guess it’s impossible.

Imagine seeing records like this breaking every summer and still denying climate breakdown.

Imagine seeing people killed for playing League of Legends in North Korea.

People do not accept they were wrong. To compensate they invent their own causes such as: “they” are killing people with plan-demics to reduce the population, or chemtrails are used to control the weather. They are not denying what they have been told, rather, they are following their divine leaders over the evil other. Intuition and pride are valued over science and humanitarianism.

They took her four times to get it; twice she was turned away because she had a cold. “Don’t stress,” he says the health care worker told them, “the vaccine can be administered up until she reaches 5.” The third and fourth time, he says, they were told the vaccine was unavailable.

Mild level of WTF while reading. The first two times had a reasonable explanation.

She was discharged and readmitted to hospital a total of five times, Al Amin says; only on the fifth occasion did a doctor tell him she was suffering from measles.

Serious levels of WTF while reading. Every time a measles patient goes without a diagnosis, the hyperinfectious disease gets another chance to spread.
