Disagree. Locking down unnecessary stores, entertainment venues, schools, and restrictions on gatherings will at least help reduce spread among the unvaccianted, thus reducing mutation possibilities or even getting vaccinated people infected. That way we can mitigate hospitalizations while an actual cure is worked on.

And I sympathize for children having to go through this. But whatever issues they may develop do not compare to dying or losing their family to a deadly disease. Full stop.

at this point fuck the willingly unvaccinated.

we have a vaccine that is safe. It works and it helps immensely.

thats when I stop caring about the death rates of those who refuse to be vaccinated, as far as Im concerned theyre the reason why we havent reached herd immunity and putting those who cannot be vaccinated because of underlying issues at risk.

as a parent of a child, watching her change in a year was saddening and depressing. She loved going out everywhere and was very sociable. Now shes practically scared of her shadow. All within a year because of lack of social interaction.

hopefully shes still young enough to overcome the anxiety. But I feel for even older children this could have long term effects.

dont get me wrong I really dont want to see people die. But at the same token Im not going to sit here and make excuses for them when their own choices are the cause of their demise.

Yeah Ive been disappointed by this. If celebrities arent willing to get vaccinated, thats fine - its their choice. However, using their platform to publicly go against the vaccines is horrible.

Joe Rogan, whose primary audience demographic is 20-something year old men, said on his podcast he would advise against a 21 year old getting vaccinated. Joe Rogan. With all of his medical and public health credentials. Id imagine theres a hefty portion of his audience that are in that demographic that wont get the vaccine now. Just because he said not to.

im all for people making their own decisions as destructive as they may be. But celebrities need to keep that shit to themselves.

the amount of people I see on socially media repeatedly share quack info about vaccines is disheartening. One girl has a child who has never gotten a vaccine and hasnt even been to a pediatrician!!!
