Can you acknowledge, somewhere in the echoing chamber of your skull, that contagious airborne diseases are a community risk, and we must team up to protect our most vulnerable? This includes vaccinated people who have waning immunity, the elderly who cannot mount a sufficient immune response despite multiple shots, the medically fragile, those who are allergic to a component of the vaccine and those who cannot yet receive a shot because they are in chemo. It also includes some children.

And when hospitals are overwhelmed, the increased mortality risk reaches EVERYONE, EVEN YOU. People die from easily-treated injuries or illnesses that would in normal times not have sealed their fate! This is happening all over the high-Covid states, in places where there are no ICU beds, or personnel is so beaten down they end up making mistakes.

It's one thing to declare that you are not a team player and you prefer having half a million excess American deaths every year from Covid for the foreseeable future, just so you can lead a normal life (flu kllls 30-50K a year).

It's quite another to say and do silly things without realizing exactly what the consequences are to your community and your country.

I'm sorry - but why aren't those that are most vulnerable being quarantined instead of those who have been vaccinated?  You're living in a fantasy world is you think this is going away and transmission will cease.  It's going to be like the flu, which also kills the most vulnerable, including the elderly despite vaccines being available.  Continuing to go on with some of these measures ad-infinitum to prevent transmission is unrealistic. [/quote]
