>How is this different from any other behavior?
Other behaviour does not cost any business money. People being obese makes businesses money, so why would they fund propoganda to stop it?
Leave obesity, what about water pollution? Do we still remember the events portrayed in movies like Darkwater and documentries like "What lies upstream"? How CDC just stood by while an entire area of human population were being subject to toxic water and produce getting cancer and other serious health issues..
After nearly 5 decades after the events shown in the movie DarkWaters, PFOA is still unregulated in many developing countries.
Where is the health agencies that so want to "save lives", doing something about it. F*k the whole lot of them!
Unvaccinated are a huge risk to the perception that being vaccinated is better option. Bret Weinstein talks about it in their podcast. If most people are vaccinated, then the vaccinated cannot be easily compared against the unvaccinated. So if just in case the vaccine didn't work as expected, it would be very clear by comparing these two populations. Which could be why the push to vaccinate everyone.
> Flint was/is such a big deal because it's an exception, not the common
Saw an interesting documentary the other day. "what lies upstream" [0] about water quality. No idea of the validity of it, as no further research was performed, but it had me convinced it is a serious issue.
Assuming the documentary was factual and not sensationalised , the issue is much bigger than Flint.
But as you mention at the end of your comment, I thought (before watching the doc) with the US wasn't water available on the country as a whole, but in specific areas, due to building in arid desert areas.
