@bikeshed @eris it's a little more complex than that; he's not like "vaccines will give you autism" he's more like "look, here's another example of what i've been writing about, the crisis as the site in which the Sovereign decides the State of Exception, in which he can suspend the law, and the normal state of things, on the basis of "protecting" that very law, in order to govern a population towards its ends."

though, i will say, i do not agree with all of his takes regarding covid-19 and the state response, and i definitely don't agree with all of his rhetoric regarding it; oftentimes utilizing language and reference to the holocaust (the site of the state of exception par excellence) far more than i would personally like to defend.
