lifesaving medical procedures
repurposing practices from the past and adopting new cutting edge therapy (a possibly less than serious allegory. or maybe...)
antonio moniz, inventor of the lobotomy, won the nobel prize in medicine for this breakthrough in treating everything from mental health issues to nervous indigestion.
i mean, sure, there were a few side-effects, especially with the early versions where they drilled a hole in your skull and poured in alcohol to kill brain tissue, but omelets, eggs, you know how it goes!
this was cutting edge treatment for the day, widely performed, and lauded by doctors and medical boards alike.
trust the science and it will all be OK in the end, right?
right.
oddly, this once prolific practice has now fallen into disuse and disrepute.
and it’s possible that we may want to have another look at it as i honestly think it could wind up being a huge life saver if repurposed.
these antediluvian medicos were simply seeking to cure the incorrect disorders.
consider:
“anti-social megalo/monomaniacal narcissistic biofascism complex” has been pandemic for years and cures remain elusive. there is no approved treatment and it’s obviously highly contagious and life threatening to everyone around you. seems like a prime candidate for an EUA.
if only we had had it earlier…
take this list of people in 2019 and inoculate them against ASMMNBC with a little instrument up the old schnozz, one quick pinch in the frontal lobe (barely even a fauci ouchie) and imagine the suffering we could have saved the world!
billions of person years of misery alleviated.
honestly, it would be unethical NOT to run this trial.
the benefits speak for themselves, and the risks and side effects? well, i’m pretty sure the cost/benefit on a societal level is excellent and honestly, who even worries about that stuff these days anyhow? we probably would not even need an FDA panel.
zero ASMMNBC is clearly the way to go.
one really cannot argue.
and after all, could it possibly be any less effective than the guzumpteen trillion dollar epic fail that was just perpetrated?
i think not.
and the time to step up prevention against future outbreaks is now.
perhaps a surveillance system of contact tracing would be in order as well. after all, who knows who these maniacal typhoid marys of tyranny might have infected? they do get around…
and if they complain, well, that’s what mandates are for, no?
i can see no moral issues with making their lives a misery until they comply because, clearly: their prefrontal severing protects us.
and we tried it their way.
so, fair is fair…
for the rest of society, well, that’s going to take some more modern therapy and perhaps some long term treatment, but fear not: advances in this field are rapid and we have the technology.
we can rebuild it.
Wouldn’t this make them cat-atonic?…
They didn't stop doing lobotomies, they just changed the method and location - now they're carried out non surgically in schools.
