    This stuff will make us all go vegan. With a mortality rate of 50%, there won’t be any anti-vaxxers as everyone will be scared for their lives.

      This isn’t how people work I think. Instead you will have people who have been primed by prior experience that their ignorance worked out. EG people who by dint of age and health only ever had <1/10th of 1% of dying from covid didn’t get vaccinated and had covid 3 times and are fine LEARNED that vaccinating isn’t important.

      If there is a 50% mortality event they will have learned that their shit works long enough to catch it and die while listening to their facebook groups tell them they just need to take some vitamin C. They’ll keep telling each other its all a scam, just normal flue, someone will chime in that they’ve already had it months prior to this being even possible. They’ll shit talk until they die in their houses.

        The stupid “I did it and I’m fine” line of thinking makes for a really convincing argument for a lot of people. It’s messed up.

      Something with a mortality rate of 50% won’t spread the way Covid did, it’d kill the host too fast

      I’m going to miss dairy cheese but I am willing to accept dramatic reductions in non-vegan food for the good of the world. Some people just lose their mind over the idea of eating less animal products though.
