[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand Elrich.

Vaccines are our end goal. Full stop. When I get mine, I'm going out and I'm not coming back home. That's the end. Because I'm young and low risk I'll be among the last, which means there will be no justifiable reason for me to wait any longer. All the more vulnerable people will have had it. I'm not going to play wait and see about variants or how long immunity lasts or look for more reasons to move more goalposts.

This will sound mean, but I think it's people like Marc who are taking it out on us normal people. Elrich is 70 years old and morbidly obese and that is Not My Problem. If you are 70 and morbidly obese and probably have other health issues, you are going to have a high risk for illness and mortality no matter what you do. I'm sorry if it's ageist or fat-shaming, but being ageist and fat shaming is much less destructive than ruining thousands of young lives and livelihoods. Marc Elrich's personal health risks are not my problem. He can stay in his basement (And the rest of the county will be better off for it) I won't.

The vaccines are 95%(!) effective. That means that people like me can take a 5% risk of contracting a virus that we have a 99% chance of beating anyway. The most I'll do once vaccinated is put on a mask when I'm on a metro or [b]handling food in a grocery store.[/b] That's it. I'm not going to stay home, not have parties, not go out, not hug my friends or travel or attend music festivals ever again to protect Marc Elrich, who will probably get a heart attack anyway. Sorry. Nope. [/quote]

Does not spread on food in a grocery store...[/quote]
