You are spouting dangerous nonsense. The data is overwhelming, and every death that could have been avoided, of which many are documented on social media is a tragedy.

They probably should legalize, control and de-crime-cartel the illegal cocaine industry, it would lead to better outcomes than the war on drugs. Less death, less negative medical outcomes, less load on the health system directly and indirectly through less criminal violence.

You are living in the 1950s or something.

I wish so much to label OP as simple bored troll, since its so glaringly wrong on so many fronts. Then you go out in the woods (doesn't have to be literal backcountry trip) and you actually meet this kind of people who think like that.

And you see some have pretty respectable jobs and are actual part of society, not some outcasts hiding with tin foils in corn field. Any society in this world in some way. But you can't talk to them about simple, factual matters. Forget persuasion, even discussion is all but impossible.

That part is to me scary and I struggle with it.

I'm not spouting anything dangerous. The data is indeed overwhelming and you must be living under a rock if you are not familiar with the numbers.

> every death that could have been avoided, of which many are documented on social media is a tragedy

Social media? Give me a break. There are legitimate sources that confirm every single word that I've said. Heck, even CDC is now "with me" on that front - https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/592457-the-cdc-is-fin....

I'm not denying that the vaccine is useful, but statistically it's _only_ beneficial to older people.

If the conversation goes as far as legalizing cocaine, then there is absolutely nothing to discuss. Cocaine is a highly addictive drug and I just can't express enough how many lives it took away.

> You are living in the 1950s or something.

I was born in 80s, there is no way I can live in 50s.

Buddy, I think you should smoke some weed. It might expand your universe a little. I think you are suffering from tiny universe syndrome.
