I'm sorry, but I feel the same way about African Americans (or any other Americans) who do not get vaccines as I do about low-income people who vote republican.  They are acting against their own interests in an illogical way.  It is well known in the African American community that they suffer worse health outcomes from Covid.  The vaccines have been in circulation since December of last year and there have been no significant long-term side effects (unlike Covid, which can leave people with permanent reduced lung function).  People are making their choice... and that's fine, but it is not reasonable to expect society to bend over backwards  to protect them indefinitely while people "do their own research".  We should not enable bad choices at the expense of others...[/quote]

[b]Concerned Person:[/b] The vast majority of younger and middle age African Americans will be essentially segregated by vaccine passports
[b]Arlington Branch COVIDian:[/b] Screw 'em, the only thing that matters is COVID, which overrides treatment of minorities

[u][i][b]1 year earlier...[/b][/i][/u]

[b]Concerned Person:[/b] Underprivileged minorities will be the most hurt by closed schools
[b]Same Arlington Branch COVIDian:[/b] Screw 'em (even though my kids are remote anyway), the only thing that matters is COVID, not equity

[u][i][b]1 year later when SOL scores were announced...[/b][/i] [/u]

[b]Concerned Person:[/b] We told you closed schools would hurt underprivileged minorities the most, now we need to focus on learning loss
[b]Same Arlington Branch COVIDian:[/b] It wasn't because of closed schools, it was because "of the pandemic". Plus, don't say "learning loss", say "unfinished learning" (and don't say "closed schools", it was "closed school buildings"). I love equity too and am getting a shirt that says "equity warrior".

[u][i][b]Now with Asymptomatic Testing...[/b][/i][/u]

[b]Concerned Person:[/b] Having healthy kids be excluded from school because of close contacts, when the odds are overwhelming they'll never be positive, will just hurt the same underprivileged minorities who were hurt the most by closed schools.

Good lord.  A lot of you have WAY too much time on your hands.  Just came in to see why this thread got to 44 pages.   Pure insanity on both sides.  LET IT GO.  [/quote]
