Like obesity?
Whoops, I forgot that this is about signaling your affinity to "science", whatever that is, not public health. Back under the bridge with poor me...

Yes, like obesity, and smoking and whatever else. Which is why I also support incentives to take soda off shelves, give financial incentives to people who exercise, don't smoke and so on. What gives you the impression I somehow oppose that?

My dystopia is having had to stay in my tiny urban apartment without leaving for 70 days waiting for the government to take action and then when I realised they wouldn't, having to uproot and move to a different continent altogether away from the place I called home for the past decade in order to simply feel safe.
In this thread there are already people complaining about dystopias. My dystopia is hundreds of thousands of people dying of preventable, mundane diseases every year because we give so little of a crap about public health that we let unvaccinated people into packed stadiums.
To me the dystopia isn't the future, it's the status quo. Forget covid, every few years we have bad flu seasons that overload hospitals and tens of thousands of people die. My question is why we didn't have a differentiated, technological systems that detects risk factors in public spaces. We just let it happen, literally every year.
