… and by handling explosives irresponsibly, he made explosives reproduce and appear in other people’s homes, who he further encouraged to handle irresponsibly…
It’s a all bit tiring, sometimes.

Yeah, I got yellow-light warnings at first scan. When I saw the recommendations for vitamin C mega-dosing as part of the Covid health recommendations, I calmly put things in reverse and just backed away.
Mega-dosing vitamin C fixes scurvy. Covid is not scurvy.
At best, the site has well-meaning cranks who are going to get people killed despite their good intentions. At worst, they’re charlatans who are going to make money off getting people killed.

USP methedrine would be a real ‘pick me up’!

But… didn’t FDA just give the Pfizer vaccine their final approval?

Much of the distinction relies on the origin of the victims misfortune, whether by another person or the laws of physics. If I decide to walk down the street with a $100 bill sticking out my front pocket, and someone runs up, grabs it, and runs away, don’t blame the victim. The thief is in the wrong- they chose to steal (let’s not get into why they did it, I’m trying to keep the example light).
In the example provided by @ClutchLinkey the explosives made no choice. They explode, that’s what they do. Viruses- they infiltrate your body, replicate, and take over, and they can’t choose not to, and the basics of that mechanism are fairly well understood.
So if a gust of wind blows that $100 out of my pocket and into the gutter, yeah, go ahead and say I was stupid for not keeping it in my wallet.
ETA: This is also true! (from a separate discussion)

Observing the probable outcome of a highly reckless decision and rolling one’s eyes is not really victim-blaming. Also, no-one is letting the con artists who convinced these suckers to act this way off the hook (especially when, as in this case, the sucker is himself conning others in the right-wing’s typical pyramid o’ grift).

That virus was so foolish and short-sighted! If it had just spared Manning’s life, Manning together with the virus would have made a much stronger homicidal team.
The category of victim/perpetrator has opened up widely:
the anti-Obamacare activist who needs healthcare
the anti-vaxxer who becomes infected
any non-wealthy Republican

Could this be the alternative approach to giving us “death panels”? I thought the far right was supposed to be against them. /s

In this day and age, this is (sadly) the more likely of the two.

As with everything right-wing, their stance depends on who the beneficiary/target is.

I’d prefer dexadrine. It has a cleaner high and methedrine has a harder comedown.

Sarcasm aside, ANY health system with limited budgets has so called ‘death panels’
I’m just baffled that any sane person would prioritise the wealth of the patient over the need of the patient for allocation priorities…

“Death Panels”
Oh right like the sonofabitch non-doctor at Cigna who thinks he knows what heart medications I should take better than my own doctor?
Yeah, we have death panels already. They’re just called insurance companies and they charge extortionate rates and make you meet ruinously high deductibles before denying your coverage because they don’t have records on hand showing the tier 1 drugs made my kidneys shutdown and almost killed me.
“We’re denying coverage on amlodipine, because we’d rather pay for cheaper drugs that nearly killed you.”
God it fucking amazes me more orphans of insurance company bullshit haven’t shot up or burnt down or bombed any corporate HQs. They’re the ones who actually make healthcare unaffordable.

It’s like on another thread here how people were lining up to blame the FDA for the opioid epidemic. They’re certified everywhere else too. Most other places don’t have an epidemic of their abuse because the public health has no benefit in over prescribing them. It’s the health insurance vampires. Always is.
