Boris Johnson Suggested He Thought Covid Was ‘Nature’s Way of Dealing With Old People’
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.

He's not entirely wrong...we're due for a population correction of some sort.
Be the change you want to see, population correct yourself
You are aware, that this is exactly what is being projected without any diseases, right?
yup. we're overdue for an epic world war to cull the numbers a bit.
That's exactly not my point. Population will naturally peak within the next decades and then probably settle around 10 billion. That's just 20% more than the current numbers.
None of the scarcities we're having right now are "real". As long as 60% of agricultural land in industrialized countries is used to produce animal fodder, there's enough food for everyone.
Just because it’s going to plateau and decrease, doesn’t necessarily mean that we aren’t already above where we should ideally be. Being potentially able to feed everyone is not the only criteria. We are overconsuming and this is in proportion to the world population. Even though it’s not evenly spread and everyone doesn't consume the same, at the end of the day the least people there are the least we consume.
We don't "consume" that much. Actually, the only thing we actually consume is uranium, everything else is just transformed and could be recycled. Sure, there are problems, but you're basically advocating for auto-holocaust.

Don't forget helium! Once that shit's pumped from the earth's crust and released into the atmosphere, there's practically no getting it back!
We could be recycling everything but we’re not, and we’re not going to anytime soon, this would be far more complex than feeding everyone. I’m not advocating for anything, please don’t try to put words in my mouth. We’d have less trouble if there happened to be less of us, that’s it. I never said we should forcibly reduce our population, that’s ridiculous. I’m just tired of seeing this same senseless argument that everything is fine with the population because we could potentially feed everyone.
You should stop watching whichever fucked up YouTube channel is feeding you this shit
We aren't due for anything. This is the gamblers fallacy. No one is sitting there and keeping track ready to swoop in and decimate the population.
