    Because vaccinated people are so ashamed that they are refusing to seek testing and treatment...

    I agree. A lot if not most cases from asymptomatic people probably go unreported. Not sure if there much of a way to avoid that.

    That being said, I'm vaccinated and if I feel as much as a cold coming on I'm gonna go get a swab. Last thing I want to do is spread that shit to somebody else.

    Should I feel bad for thinking:

    1. Unvaccinated people should not be provided a bed in the IU?

    2. Unvaccinated folks should not be provided urgent care?

    3. Unvaccinated folks should not be provided medical care at all? Unless going to a center where the providers disagree with forced vaccine?

    I don't agree with withholding care for the unvaccinated. We have lots of veterinarians, and since the unvaxxed like horse medicine, it seems like a good fit.

    I can sympathize with the fuck you attitude towards unvaccinated. But left untreated they infect children and immunocompromised people.

    Get the damn vaccine already.

    Not gonna happen without far more incentive.

    It's seriously beyond time to start paying people thousands to be vaccinated or start triaging the unvaccinated out of hospitals.

    We're in this mess because our leaders have failed us. We've failed to educate our population, leaving them susceptible to conspiracies and fear mongering. We've failed to offer competing incentive to combat the conspiracies and fear mongering.

    Blaming individuals doesn't work for societal problems. Personal accountability isn't a solution we can rely on. Ever.

    We're the most well prepared society to ever face this kind of threat and we're shitting the bed for all of the world and future generations to see.

    It's embarrassing. I'm ashamed.

    A lot of effort has gone into education. But you know the expression you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. When a significant section of the population gets information from those who say experts are not just wrong but evil, when their political leaders, so called, say don't get vaccinated, don't wear mask, I mean, it's hard to break through the wall of bullshit. Much stronger than the useless expensive wall at the border that a strong wind took down.

    Nobody in authority has made those claims. Hints were given out by Pfizer which turned out to be correct, eight months. The CDC is now for the first time saying it will be 8 months. I am in that line at the VA.
    There's a lot of bullshit out there being promulgated by the Russians and the Republican Party. I would advise you to try a more credible site for your information.

    It's only 8 months because they haven't studied it all the way through and no authorization yet.

    Yes, I would also like to learn this trick of spending more than you earn without becoming broke.

    Do I show up on Sundays to learn this wonderful skill?

    For no authorization it sure seems strange the VA has already scheduled it. The VA does nothing until the Feds approve of it.
    Pfizer has been studying this for some time now and has a lot of data which they have provided to the CDC.

    Damn those cases. Is this mostly the Portland metro area?
