So yeah, you want to play Russian Roulette with the most deadly pandemic we've had in the last 100 years other than HIV/AIDS?

In terms of Americans killed, it's actually surpassed the raw numbers of HIV (in 5% of the time, no less). Globally, much less so (5.4 million vs. 36.3 million), but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that that will change if Covid is allowed to spread unchecked through impoverished countries for decades like HIV was.

I was only pointing out how these new variants are being brought over by people who are fully vaccinated and they are not arising here in the US from our unvaccinated population. It appears that these variants will never go away on a global scale, so maybe we should just accept that and move on with our lives. If you want a shot or booster, go get it, but putting out mandates and saying hateful and derogatory things about people who choose not to get vaccinated isnt and will never change anything as far as this current situation goes.

"People are going to die either way, so why bother trying to reduce the number of people that die?"

Right. Alternatively, the anti-vaxxers and the anti-maskers could stop being idiots and/or psychopaths and join the fight against the virus instead of continuing to fight for it.
