You know who is worth saving? People who are unable to get vaccinated. They are extremely vulnerable to things like mumps, measles, and rubella, for instance because many of them are immunocompromised.
Yes that fine. I’m not talking about the immunocompromised, and it’s pretty clear that I’m not.
It’s the conspiracy-eating idiots that my broad brush is painting.
The trouble is that those same conspiracy eaters aren’t the only ones at risk from the conspiracy. Immunocompromised people are out at risk when the percentage of people going unvaccinated increases. They are worth saving, and the mechanism of saving them is saving the conspiracy eaters.
