More interesting science from PsyPost,
New research has found that people with "dark" personality characteristics, such as psychopathy and narcissism, are less likely to comply with efforts to impede the spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and more likely to stockpile goods such as food and toilet paper.
Two new studies, both published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, reinforce previous findings that the "Dark Triad" of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism is associated with ignoring preventative COVID-19 measures.
But the new research indicates that health beliefs and situational perceptions may play a more important role than personality traits alone.
Dark Enlightenment, or Dark Triads?

None of them matter compared to Freddy Mercury though.

Yes, and if AIDS was God's punishment, then monosexual lesbians must be among God's chosen.

It's because lesbians don't have sex. They just rub each other, i.e., mutual masturbation.

No, plenty of heteros DID NOT get AIDS -- aside from druggies sharing IV needles as I said or people who take a cum load up the ass.
Think about it: there is still no vaccine for HIV to this day. Who in the USA gets AIDS? Aside from gays and druggies, basically nobody. It's a non-issue. Look up the damn stats. Now that the hype has died down and we have 40 years of data to go on, do straight people even fear HIV? Do doctors target straight people for HIV awareness? Of course not. They target the rump wranglers and druggies.
