Current Events > it's actually fucking maddening to me to see the way that people are talki

(+) Yeah! (+)

king about unvaccinated people as a monolith of assholes, *especially* cause there are still serious racial disparities due to access/fear of hidden costs/inability to get time off work or childcare/etc/etc

ofc there are awful anti-vaxxers who dont care about who they infect, but that does not describe everyone whos unvaccinated, and BESIDES people shouldnt be left to die because of our governments shitty fucking public health messaging. wheres the fucking compassion????????

when has berating people and questioning their intelligence ever helped encourage them to listen to you like its not surprising this condescension & dismissiveness is actively harmful to the cause of getting more people vaccinated.

There's nothing to discuss, people who are anti-vaxx are dumb. Go ahead and close the topic now that we've got that cleared up.

Use your energy better

A lot of people need compassion in the world today, and anti-vax is not one of those people

Probably rarely, but I feel better about myself doing it so Im going to continue doing it.

There's a difference between "anti" and "unable."

If people are shitting on someone for being UNABLE to get the vaccine, that's fucked.

Anti is fair game though, fuck 'em.

This.

Some people want to but can't. I have plenty of compassion and sympathy for them. Some people can but won't. They'll get no sympathy from me.

Most of the people who aren't vaccinated at this point are like the lady I heard on the radio calling it a "so called vaccine" and going on about how they know so many people in the hospital because of it.

They also say they aren't going to support businesses in mask mandate counties for following these mandates.

They're not all anti-vax on principal.

Some are just too lazy to go get it.

Huh?

I agree TC, the hive minded hate and labeling isnt helping anyone, if anything its probably making them less likely to get vaccinated. Its counter productive

Yup. Arguing with them makes them more defensive and rebellious. Which is all anti vacc is essentially. People just not like being told to do something
