Flu surges in Louisiana as health department barred from promoting flu shots
Flu surges in Louisiana as health department barred from promoting flu shots
Flu is rising around the country, but Louisiana is well ahead of the curve.
You're viewing a single thread.
Ahhh, dead reds, tears. Thoughts and prayers for ya.
Everyone knows the flu only targets republicans and there aren’t massive health disparities among people of color in the south as a whole, but especially among black people, who are nearly 1/3rd of the population of Louisiana. Guess they should have had the good sense to be born somewhere else.
Hey, there are options.
Damn, just gonna double down on “people deserve to die for living in a red state”, huh?
There are options.
Seems like the option you’re in love with is crowing about poor people living in gerrymandered districts dying.
Not quite.
You love it when Black people in red states are killed by red state policies.
I don’t think you understand the message they are sending. There are options:
- Do nothing
- Die
- Fight - not with thoughts and prayers
There are plenty of innocent people who will be hurt by this. Yeah, thoughts and prayers for the immuno-compromised who willed be murdered by these fucks. The south isn't fucking a monolith and you treating it like one helps them get away with shit like this
Thank you! As a southerner who is very progressive, comments like this really piss me off.
You can't lower yourself to their level of ignorance, you makes you no better than the people you're deriding.
You have some options. But they all require you put down that sweet tea—I won’t hold my breath.
There is a pretty available list of people who are directly responsible for the deaths of these innocent people.
I will allow you to extrapolate.
I’m sure you think you’re cute but 1) phrasing it this was isn’t actually legally protecting you and 2) “commit murder or you deserve to die” is a deranged response to seeing people living in disease-ridden places because the medical professionals they interact with literally aren’t allowed to encourage them to get the flu shot.
We both know nothing is going to happen, at least I am presenting options. What are your options? Hopes and prayers? Protest? Those things haveclearly worked in the past. You can take it to arranged, but I know which way to direct the out of control trolley car while you sit backand do absolutely nothing.
My option is direct mutual aid. Your option is masturbating furiously online about who you want to see get killed. We are not the same.
I don’t think being like you is something a person should aspire to be. And therefore, they are better than you.
If you think nobody should give mutual aid to struggling people instead of shitting down their throat about how they deserve it because of where they live, then I doubt you have anything productive to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So what’s “mutual aid” to you?
When has your option worked?
You’re literally asking how direct mutual aid improves anyone’s life?
lol.
I think what they’re saying is your “mutual aid” amounts to thoughts and prayers. The people making decisions for humanity need to be removed immediately.
If you think mutual aid is thoughts and prayers you have a warped view of what it is.
Please explain
dead reds, tears.

Yep, lots of the south will show similar demographics because of a high black population, unfortunately not enough of them vote.
