Boris Johnson suggested he believed the coronavirus pandemic was "Nature's way of dealing with old people" as he resisted lockdown measures, Sir Patrick Vallance argued.
Disease and starvation has always been nature’s way of dealing with the elderly and weak. You can look to any species on earth and this is true. We aren’t special just because we are human, we have just been smart enough to mostly avoid it. Why the fuck did you feel the need to bring up aids and gay people? It has nothing to do with any of this.
It’s literally the same argument. A virus exists that disproportionately affects a group of people. That group is uninteresting to me so instead of just saying I don’t give a shit I call it a force of nature.
We are a little special because we can conceptualize how our actions will affect the spreas of a disease. A world leader is a little more special in that regard because they can enact policy to curb disease on a wide scale.
Having the knowledge and power to help and not doing anything is a moral failing. Blaming it on nature is covering that failing with nonsense.
A virus or disease exists to affect an organism, it doesn’t care if that organism is young, old, gay or straight. No one is saying it isn’t sad that people die, just saying that’s the purpose of diseases and viruses, they use people to reproduce and typically older people die more often than others, just because it’s sad doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Nature has a way of dealing with unwanted offspring. That’s why I didn’t think think what Melissa Dexler did was that big a deal.
