As much as free healthcare helps alleviate a lot of these problems, we still need more change.
Governments should be totally responsible for the diseases propagating within their own population and when such situations are handled poorly, retribution should come. It's the case in my country, with nearly 600 thousand dead and no one being held accountable even though we all know who's at fault.
I've been going to therapy for 6 years to deal with my crippling anxiety, and I've gotten a lot better, but part of me feels like they don't want me to change. The therapy itself is free and most of my meds are free as well... But some aren't, and they're really expensive. I'm afraid to just throw them away, I've known people who've done that and the side-effects were terrible, they came back like drug addicts in withdrawal. I keep taking them in the hopes that one day I won't have to anymore.
I absolutely love my psychologist and she's not in charge of actually giving me medication, nothing to complain there, she's been like a friend to me... But the psychiatrists have always been a little... shady, know what I mean? Something off about them.
I could be going crazy, could even be my anxiety lmao, but still, I just want to get better, not fuel big pharma with me buying medication for 6 years.
Who's at fault? I am not in the 'we all know' group.
I meant Brazilians in the "we" 😅
It's mostly the current administration and the president, who didn't care or sometimes even went as far as to make fun of the dead.
I see the issue becoming political in many countries. No one can stop common cold so every government can be criticized.
Common cold is definitely a lot different than this. Much more could've been done about COVID way earlier, but wasn't because the government didn't care. Some countries were so far ahead in the game it makes us look weak, even if we have enough resources to pull it off.
It is political, since the people can't exactly import millions of batches of vaccines and impose lockdowns when they're necessary. Heck, here they waited until after Carnaval was over so they could get all that sweet sweet tourist money.
