    I’m ‘supposed’ to do what exactly? Hide out in my house? I don’t know where the fuck you live, but it’s not where I live. We’re living our lives here and people aren’t dying of covid. Go ahead and get your pom poms out and cheerlead when you get locked down again. Blame it on your neighbors and not your government. Good luck with it.

    Eventually, there will be a variant that will target the vaccinated. :NOTMARIS:

    You're being deliberately obtuse. The healthcare system cannot handle the spread amongst so many unvaccinated people.

    We should require every unvaccinated person wear masks in buildings open to the public. And the government should cover the costs incurred by businesses to enforce it. If that means paying $50 per hour for security so be it.

    Pay every fully vaccinated person $2k.

    Get serious about it.

    But it's the fault of the idiot neighbors... Very clearly. And yes, people are dying of covid-19.

    Yes, that does indeed sound familiar.

    If you get the measles you are given the choice of either confining yourself to your house vis a vis a quarantine or going to the hospital where you are effectively quarantined to your room.

    It's not the fucking political class. It's the most knowledgeable epidemiologists and public health doctors in the country.

    No, antivaxxers don't say don't get vaccinated. They are just asking questions. Are you sure you aren't a baby raper? Not saying you are, just asking questions.

    Trying to blame unvaccinated people for hospitals that aren’t even overwhelmed is just nonsense. And if it’s true that the flu has basically been eliminated, that’s is a whole fuck ton of people not sick with flu offsetting hospitalization numbers. I just don’t see the evidence for this.
    You could only get away with this ridiculous shit in the larger cities. Doesn’t really affect me, although I would feel bad for the people in those cities who were under the impression they’re living in a free modern democratic society before being relegated to a lower segregated class.

    I do like how you slipped this in. It’s worth a shot, right?
    Let’s bribe poor people into doing something they don’t want to do for money.

    I would say require a vaccination card or require a recent Covid test for everything (as in recent 72 hours, like they do for international travel). Make unvaccinated people pay for their own tests. Done and done. You want to move around society potentially endangering people - put your money where you mouth is.

    In what has become a recurring theme, a Republican state legislator in Maine who is anti mask, anti vax, called Covid a hoax, is seriously sick with Covid. His wife is also sick although not as severely. I imagine they, like Johnny, called public health doctors stupid.

    Health care workers finally thought they were getting a well earned reprieve. Vaccines approved and widely available, free. They didn't count on all these John Wayne Mimi mes, shouting I am invulnerable, I am above the laws of nature, no one can tell high and mighty me what I should do, I know more about infections diseases than stupid doctors.

    Laws of nature? Not injecting a permanent cell altering cocktail into my body is acting above the laws of nature? I think you’ve got it backwards. Maybe I’m the one not fucking with nature and your cells are now spike protein factories. Good for you. Count me out.
