"I WANT MY MAYPO!! I dont give a sh-- how many die - thats their problem not mine - besides it's the fault of the Dems" Is this what you're saying?

Check. Got it.

Instead of accepting it you should be condeming it.

I'm being realistic.

Not everyone agrees with you (thankfully).

It's sad to think that America, which has long had the concept of "my freedom ends at the tip of the next person's nose" has a movement that is more "me first, second, third and next after that".

Not vaccinating is endangering others. Period.

You are transmitting viruses and bacteria (and receiving the same) every time you interact with another person whether you know it or not.

Yes, but most other bacteria does not and can not kill someone.

Getting the vaccine does not prevent you from being a spreader - see stories I have already posted above.

Generally, those reports are inaccurate and exaggerated. The only solution for a pandemic of this sort is herd immunity or the death or immunity via infection of everyone.

Let's start dealing with facts and not platitudes that does nothing but allow you unearned self-righteousness.

I have family in a country where, as of July 1, less than 15% of the population was vaccinated. The real death rate there, confirmed by the acting mayor* of the nation's largest city, is well over 5% of those infected... one out of ever 20. They are begging for vaccine, and apparently the only nation willing to provide adequate supplies is China.

(Note: most deaths are not officially diagnosed as they never get to hospitals. The figures are estimated based on 2019 deaths per month vs. 2020 deaths)

When a city has to tell it's citizens to place their dead in plastic bags intended for the packing of bananas and place them on the sidewalk for later pick-up and burial in a mass and unmarked grave, perspectives change.

That alone is infuriating. We should be donating as much vaccine as possible, but Trump put out an incredibly stupid directive last year saying we couldn't just give it all away until everyone here was vaccinated first. Biden hasn't abided by that, thankfully, but he hasn't totally reversed it, either.

Drivel. Does not relate.

I got my Pfizer vaccine as soon as I could. I have major heart problems but not once did they ask me if I had any heart issues. If they had, it may have given me a pause for a moment but I would have gotten it anyways. I had a worse reaction to the first shot than the second. The second one gave me about a 4 week headache but that was about it. I didn't sprout any extra nipples and my liver didn't spontaneously burst into flames so I'm glad I got it.

Time to put this tired ol' thread to rest.
