(11,949 posts)I really dont care if someone continues to live like we are forever. None of my business. But is does bother me that there are people who dont understand statistics and get their news from Mr. Google.
So they see almost 10K people have been vaccinated and the caught Covid after vaccination. And 800 or so were hospitalized and 150 or so died. And they get frightened. But if they understood that risk level compared to things they do everyday they would not worry at all. Driving, eating raw oysters or sushi, skiing, skating, hiking, running. All those are more of a risk to a person than getting the virus after the vaccine.
It is my opinion that some on DU have started considering any conversation supporting finally ending this pandemic and the resulting sacrifices as something only republicans do. And that we will for some reason have to live like we are now forever. I consider that as delusional as people who deny we had reason to take the actions we rightly are taking.
