Vaccinations: No more carrot—bring out the stick

Macleans Magazine Opinion

"SNIP......

Scott Gilmore: Rewards and bribes aren't working. It’s increasingly clear there’s only one way out of this pandemic and the approaching fourth wave. 

.......

Who are these people? The University of Sydney conducted a study of the unvaccinated in Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. It found that, in comparison to the population at large, these people tended to have “less agreeable personalities”, be less cooperative with others, more selfish, and more extroverted. (In the vernacular, the term is “assholes”.)

Adding to this mix we also have the gullible, people who believe Anthony Fauci created the pandemic, or that Bill Gates is putting tracking chips in the vaccines. And, there are of course the misled. It is not a coincidence that Fox News viewers are far less likely to believe the vaccine works, according to a recent Axios/Ipsos poll.

1. Absolutely. I'm tired of these selfish, whiney d-bags demanding their FREEDUMB

to make other people sick. Yes, I understand that there are people who have genuine medical issues, and in some cases Black people are understandably nervous about medical matters, but if you're just a self-centered dipwad who won't get the vax and won't wear a mask because of some insane crap you read on Facebook and the commie gummint can't tell me what to do, fuck you very much. You don't get a reward for being a stubborn asshole, you get all kinds of inconveniences and revocations of privileges to keep you away from the sane people you're willing to infect because you're a selfish dick. So, choose: Get your damn vaccination or - you can't go to theaters, sports events or concerts; you can't go on cruises; you can't stay at hotels; you can't go to parties; you can't fly on airplanes; and maybe you can't even keep your job. Instead, you can just hole up in your house all by yourself, which the pandemic forced the rest of us to do and which we'll keep having to do unless somebody drops the hammer on you.
