    Let’s start a program where we let people volunteer to catch the disease naturally. We lock them up in a quarantine building, and televise their horrible suffering.

      We don’t have to be cruel. We exiled Typhoid Mary to an island. Send all the anti-vaxxers to some island in Alaska and let them figure it out for themselves. Just make sure they can’t swim away or make a boat.

        If you do that then you might get a few who are resistant to the diseases. They’ll get it multiple times, survive, and claim they are the master race when they return to society. It will be difficult to argue against that since they survived “The Great Quarantine”.

        I have a friend that lives on a farm. He told me they have had issues with rats one summer. Pest control didn’t help much.
        So, his dad catched a live rat and but it on a bbq. That poor thing must have screeched like crazy. My friend said it was hard to witness.
        The rats they had must have thought the same. Most of them left. The problem was solved.

        So, if it needed a well documented case of a anti-vaxxer having a slow and painful death, and showing it on youtube or tictoc or insta to drop the number of anti-vaxxers from 30% to even only 20%, i think, overall, society would be better off and this one humans life was well spend, saving so many after it.

        No, no /s. I dont condone violence. This is a “what if” thought experiment.

            Pet rats are one thing but absolutely fuck wild rats as a pest. When they get into your walls, your floorboards. Your kitchenware are bedrooms. Like roaches, if someone finds out, it implies you are an unclean housekeeper but in reality they’re just fucking hard to get rid of. They shit everywhere. Your bed. Your floors and dishes. They chew up the wood on corners and the feet of tables and chairs. They’ll bite you and your kids in your sleep leaves welts. If they get a large enough population they’ll bite your pets or worse. In addition they themselves are unclean. Everything has to be washed before you use it or touch it. Every dry good in your pantry they get into. Even when you get rid of them, the habit of checking edges of boxes never goes away.

            Fuck rats.

          I’m pretty sure there were a lot of videos of people dying from COVID on the Internet. I don’t think it changed people’s minds. Belief is social, and many people don’t overcome that. If their in-group believes a thing, that’s what they believe.

          Also don’t burn animals alive wtf.
