I think some politicians have become so detached from reality in their weird political bubbles that they do not appreciate that if these experimental injections have serious long term effects, they may face a firing squad.

It's that simple -- you most likely will not live through the aftermath if you dangled freedom as bait to get kids to undergo unjustifiable medical procedures, and a bunch of them die as a result. This is real life, not a political psycho game.

Doesn't seem like we're experiencing a general super drought, does it.

That's very deliberate. We've all been saturated with doom propaganda for decades. Many people believe it, despite virtually all metrics of human well-being improving.

Is your premise true? https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/national/time-series/110/pcp/1...

No, it doesn't. It happens because HN shadowbans people who have the wrong opinions. dang and whoever else would say that's not true, but it's tough to debate, because the evidence is conveniently hidden by being unjustly flagged. It's tough to point to a comment and argue that every statement in it is indisputably true, relevant, and polite, when it's been hidden from everyone by some anonymous user without explanation or justification.

This kind echo chamber maintenance goes on day after day, while HN delusionally prides itself on curiosity, civility, etc.
