Yeah, covid broke my faith in humanity. When we encounter a real global threat that could wipe us off the face of the planet, we will not rise to the occasion and band together.

Climate change, disease, aliens, asteroids, a super volcanic eruption. Just not gonna happen the way it's portrayed in movies.

And it’s this weird thing where a decent percentage of humanity was working super hard to save everyone else—did save most everyone else—and a ton of people are just going on about the “Fauci Ouchie” and nanochips.

The general public has no idea how many people we saved with the mRNA vaccines and critical care medicine. They’re blatantly oblivious to it. The death toll would’ve been monumentally worse without a coordinated effort of public health, healthcare, and research. Yet no one has any idea. COVID was simultaneously one of humanity’s greatest unrecognized accomplishments and one of its greatest blunders.

If you’ve ever read or watched The Expanse series I feel like it’s spot on as far as humanity’s response to disasters.

Well yeah, Don't look up is all about how stupid we are as a species.
