Because mass human suffering is a very, very bad thing.

Only from a human point of view. Humankind doesnāt really care for mass suffering on any other level of living thing.

There is no other point of view. Humans are the only species that can comprehend the idea of mass human suffering and its devastating effects.
So to paraphrase, the man swarm needs a cull?

But less severely. You have a valid point with the polio etc vax. Maybe someone more expert than I can give a rational explanation.
Yet only 10.5% of the population of the 26 counties has tested positive for it. Iām prepared to accept that not all infections are down as cases but even if you say 20% have caught it, thatās still not a huge proportion of the population.
Telling Fulvio anything never ends well.

You say that because youāre a human.
Agreed. But unless we are getting āvaccinatedā every three months weāll catch the fucking thing.
How much of that is limited by our capacity to test? I have my doubts.
Itās even worse. We may get vaxxed every 3 months and STILL catch the fucking thing. But it might be less severe.
Like I said. Iāve spoken to people whoāve had their third shot a month before testing positive to covid.
They should be in the height of their antibodies too
There is another solution Iād like to recommend to all humankind.
Get yourself a shotgun.
Load it.
Put the barrel in your mouth.
Pull the trigger.
No more Coronavirus\TFK angst.

Well, yes. And my ability to comprehend things as a human tells me that mass human suffering is a very, very, very bad thing.
Iām quite alarmed at some of the fringe views that seem to be gaining currency. One is a guy called Paul Kingsnorth, a writer who was formerly a sort of environmental protestor (he protested the building of motorways in England and stuff like that, he apparently lives in the west of Ireland now) now turned evangelical Christian.
He classes the virus as a ādelicious little sign from Godā. Iām not completely averse to the idea that the virus is natureās way of telling us we are living beyond our means and to pull back from the brink, but Kingsnorth is cheerleading on mass death in a sort of rapture-like way. That is obscene.
It is a bit at the moment but throughout the pandemic probably not that much Iād say.
Have you ever considered writing for the twilight zone?
There doesnāt seem to be a nice clear solution to this problem unless we very quickly perfect communism.

would seem to tell you that you have some privileged place on this planet. You donāt. The dinosaurs were top of the tree for millions of years. Weāve been here not a 100 thousand.
You should know. All empires are temporary and self destruct. Humans may set set a record for their lack of longevity.
