In reply to the discussion: Omicron Threatens Red America [View all]Moostache
(9,895 posts)33. I disagree 100 percent
This is NOT an extreme position.
These people - the intentionally unvaxxed - are biological terrorists, full stop.
Their "choice" is to remain unprotected against serious illness and unmitigated against potential infection. That allows the virus to find new hosts and ample re estate to replicate, mutate and make existing vaccines less effective.
Treating these people as priority cases that cause other care to be denied others is the extreme position.
Exclusion from the socal contract here is a voluntary act. Not a government pogrom.
I invite them to pray for healing if they refuse to take all available precautions.

Unvaccinated people have a lesser chance of surviving. Scarcity of resources requires choices.
