    I’ve come to accept that I’ll have to work until I’m dead. So one thing that doesn’t make me upset is less people. Specifically less people to take my job—younger people.

    So, anti-vaxers, if you really wanna pwn me, you’ll make sure your kids live long enough to take my job.

    I’m well past feeling bad for stupid people who die needless and preventable deaths, and I’m well past feeling anything but hostility towards those who, through stubborn and willful ignorance, would threaten my life and the lives of those I care for, not to mention everyone else around them— especially the elderly and infirmed.

    it’s as simple as that, and any equivocation on these points is just them trying to pass responsibility for their own social and moral failures onto others. and for that, fuck them.

      I wish it were that simple. But those people are going to take up hospital beds, nurses, doctors, etc away from people who got vaccinated (or couldn’t due to medical conditions). They’ll drive up medical prices even more. They’ll spread their diseases to those with compromised immune systems.

      I don’t feel sorry for them, but they’ll harm and kill others on their way out.

        perhaps you missed the part where I nether pity them, accept their excuses or equivocations, or accept, in any way, any reason for their refusal of their civic, social, or moral responsibilities? because when you say:

        I wish it were that simple

        please explain wtf you mean that I didn’t address pretty explicitly in my first comment

    While I’m all for vaccination including covid vaccines, we would not have the distrust towards the mega pharmaceutical companies if they were not so untrustworthy. They sold their trust for profits a long time ago.

      I might be more cynical if they weren’t being monitored by literally every government health agency on the planet.

    We need a new disfiguring disease that scares the shit out of people. We were too good and eliminated smallpox. We nearly eliminated polio and measles. Monkeypox failed (thank you, doctors, scientists, and everyone who got vaccinated!)

    …So now we need a new one that causes people to either get extremely fucked up and live, or extremely fucked up and then die horribly, and slow enough to warn people in their communities.

    Apparently, a subset of the population cannot remember the olden days, and vaccines in schools aren’t compulsory anymore.

    Forcing dummies to get vaccinated and saving their genetic material to propagate is a form of eugenics. Most people are against authoritarian enforced eugenics, yes?

    We should have special schools and special military units where all the unvaccinated can congregate together in freedom.
