    Didn’t the instant they actually got sick they were demanding that all the stops be pulled out to treat them, even demanding that they be given higher priority over vaccinated patients? Hell they were even willing to try horse and cattle medication. Seems to me they’re just the perfect combination of stupid and privileged to the point where they forget the lower tiers of the pyramid exist, but as soon as those become unfilfilled for the first time in their lives they suddenly change their tune.

      Yeah but they only wanted treatments that were compatible with their social paradigms. And that’s actually so common that we account for it in people’s care plans. People refuse good treatments because of their own social or cultural interpretations allllll the time. Belonging matters more to humans than survival. And I don’t think that’s really surprising when you think about it.
