The Angry Vaccinated Speak Out Finally: Let's Deal With Anti-Vaxxers Like The Drunk D.

I am taking the gloves off and not being polite anymore. It is time for the Anti-Vaxxer and Anti-Masker idiots to either come to the table or suffer the results of their selfishness just as those who insist on driving while intoxicated do. Their continuing endangerment of all of us is no longer acceptable and hasnt been for some time, but part of the problem, sadly, is with Governors and other leaders not doing what they could and should have done to encourage the preservation of life.
I will go so far as to say that the ignorant disregard of the medical community's guidelines that have occurred in such states as FL, TN, and TX is to blame for the new upturn in cases and deaths that has hit our nation. Yesterday was a case in point. Seventeen months into this horrible pandemic, AFTER not one but 3 vaccine treatments have been generated, Louisianas death toll was 53 in one day. The U.S. as a whole lost 913 people, a drop from 931 on Wednesday and over a thousand on Tuesday. And that is only talking about deaths. When we look at the hospitals, we have huge numbers of beds taken up by Covid patients, many of whom had the opportunity to get the vaccine and because of no-knowing, care-not politicians and others called Anti-Vaxxers refused to get the vaccine.
The end result is those persons are taking up room in the hospital and keeping people to suffer heart attacks and other serious illnesses from getting treatment. The anti-vaxxers, I dont think I am overstating one bit, are causing unnecessary deaths on a huge scale.
And this is only the Delta variant. Those same selfish and deluded people are also causing us to have a literal Petri disc to develop new variants that will at some point cause the vaccine not to be effective. We are already looking at being required to take a booster shot for those with immune-compromised issues, and possibly for everybody about either month after the 2nd shot. I have already sent a message to my doctor about the possibility of getting that booster since I have existing conditions although I am not sure I qualify at this point.
Meanwhile, idiots like Lee in TN, Abbot in TX, and DeSantis in FL are refusing to even allow local school boards to mandate masks for the safety of their staff and students. Inspired by this, there was a recent riot in the parking lot of a school board in TN that wanted to take measures to protect with masks. The anger is out of all reason and life-threatening in its magnitude. People have rights but that right ends when it infringes on other peoples right to be pandemic-free. The fact is that the Anti-Vaxxers have much more in common with drunk drivers than might at first seem likely. They, like drunk drivers, insist on having things their way...All that is important to many of them is that THEY have the right to drive home from the bar...

(1,523 posts)Every morning, when Abbott and DeSantis look in the mirror, they see the next President.
What does this have to do with their refusal to order masks, vaccinations, and other preventive measures? Because they understand that a large part of the electorate -- and a large part of the electorate who turn out and vote -- are anti-mask, anti-vaccination, and generally ignorant, selfish assholes. They are betting that they can attract enough of these voters to put them in the White House. After all, it happened in 2016 and came close in 2020.

(22,637 posts)I worry everyday that my cancer has returned. Two procedures that I need have been indefinitely postponed.
I am completely disturbed by the fact that there are nurses and doctors, that I need to go to, that haven't been vaccinated. That means anyone can be exposed to a deadly disease by going to the doctor or hospital.
Stupid, random and completely counterintuitive plus inescapably irresponsible. It is not health care. More like health careless. So, I am waiting for the day when the medical staff are required to be fully vaccinated. I hope I'm not living on borrowed time.

I also have some minor immunocompromise, vaxxed but wary having suffered the COVID early on before we even understood what it was. I'm on indefinite sabbatical, may even decide to retire for a while. I'd much rather work more for a few years but it's these idiots that are forcing me out.
