The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” for the rest of the country.

America’s Richest Billionaires Keep Getting Richer. They’re Not Donating Much More

The members of The Forbes 400 are $1.2 trillion wealthier than a year ago. But how much of their fortune have they given back?
Fortune

The world’s billionaires now hold more wealth than every country in the world except the U.S. and China—and they'd be even richer if it wasn't for tanking stocks | Fortune

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg still dominate the billionaire ranks, but their fortunes have taken a hit as S&P 500 losses and boycotts chip away at their wealth.

Opinion | What Happens When the Superrich Are This Selfish? (It Isn’t Pretty.) (Published 2023)

The Central Banks Made the Superrich Even Richer During the Pandemic

Many claimed early in the pandemic that COVID-19 would flatten inequality in a deeply unequal world. Luckily for the ultrarich, central banks stepped in, making the global elite richer than ever.
the Guardian

Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports

Real-terms gains of $33.9tn for world’s richest 1% ‘enough to end annual global poverty 22 times over’, charity says

I can’t wait for the first civil court case where an insurance company sues an unvaccinated person for the medical costs associated with treatment of their covered client.
If you can’t be forced to take reasonable precautions, you’re defacto responsible for the negative consequences.
Personal responsibility cuts both ways.

Let me see if I got this.

Now, in Idaho, only the vaccinated kids can be sent home from school during an outbreak?

@ProPublica there are an army of maga fascist losers who will quickly learn that viruses do not discriminate, and will slaughter their kids just as easily as anyone else who is unvaccinated

@ProPublica The people who enact these laws need to compensate the millions of people who will die or be permanently maimed by preventable disease.

@ProPublica going to be real fun when they have tuberculosis running loose up there again. Also, next pandemic (and there will be one), the legislature will have to repeal the law to allow for basic public health measures. This sort of nonsense sounds really good if you don’t know a goddamned thing about how bad it actually got in US hospitals during 2020-2022, and how close we were to stacking bodies in mass graves.
