(2,690 posts)Because half of us are self-appointed lovers of "their freedoms" and don't give a rat's ass about the people they infect.
Because half of us voted for a science-denying con-man who, even as the deaths pile up and he is on the way out of Office is still grifting from the loyal, ignorant fools who worship him.

(2,690 posts)Even many members of the Biden half of the population are preparing to celebrate with family because, well gee whiz, that's what the holidays are all about: getting together with your loved ones (and spreading a lethal disease among them and, through contact, their neighbors and friends).
Sigh!

I can visualize young folks excercizing and raising up fists, singing "Fight, fight, fight corona" to the tune of My Sharona.

(118 posts)Keeping with the German outlook, here is a German take on what how today's anti-vaxxers might have behaved in medieval Germany. Rejection of science and belief in conspiracy theories are rampant among the population. Sorry, I have not found a version with English subtitles, but you can probably get some of the drift. Title "Anti-vaxxers (Impfgegner)" Starts off with the crowd demanding that the authorities "Stop the Plague Lies", warnings against manipulation by "Billus Gatius" and claims that Corona is a Trojan house of the worldbankers. King Drumpf recommends injecting soap. In the end it switches back to 2020 to the heirs of the medieval beliefs.
