I'm so tired of putting up with these ignorant people, at my apt complex, in the grocery store, at the hardware store and basically everywhere. They are selfish moronic fools who endanger us all...thanks evangelicals, republicans, con men and women, greedy business owners and others. Winter is still coming for many of them...

(13,386 posts)It would at least show these idiots when they and others in their lives are carrying the virus. So much of their bullshit revolves around the nonsensical belief that the virus cannot hurt them but the vaccine will somehow kill them.

(14,600 posts)Well, mostly. I'm OK with them endangering themselves. Truly. The problem comes when they also endanger others. If they could all just get it and die, I wouldn't shed a tear.
I just found out yesterday that my farrier will not be getting vaccinated. I'm in a very red state and it's hard to get a good farrier. She believes all the bullshit conspiracy lies and thinks she won't be able to spread it without knowing she has it. And if she dies, well, the next life is better anyway and heaven will be much less crowded than the world because of all the people who think they're going there but aren't. (Mirror, anyone?)
Logic and facts do not work on these people It's emotional for them and there is no way to break through.

(14,600 posts)It is seriously hard to find someone reliable around here who knows what they're doing. So she'll have to keep getting her mani/pedi from the anti-vaxxer.

(54,990 posts)does this person think horses shouldn't be vaccinated? cool that you found a female farrier, too bad she is a loon.
piddyprints
(14,600 posts)Although I have never asked her.
I have not found a male farrier around here who does barefoot trimming. They're all women. She's the best and most reliable one, but, yeah, a bit loony and way too religious.

(42,646 posts)that is, on balance, an expansive net positive would be that the pandemic plays out in such a manner as to take out millions of maskhole/vaxhole RW'ers (over the full duration of the pandemic) whilst inflicting as minimal damage as possible on the rest of the populace at large. Obviously the variants will play a huge role in this, and it is key for vaccines to stay abreast of whatever mutations come our way, lest all sides get engulfed. That is obviously the main danger of this positing, and given a few horrific mutations, may render it null and void.
The Trumpian QMAGAt RW white power legions literally want to kill and/or enslave all who disagree with them, or whom they hate as being part of 'the other' construct. No way around that. They are scientifically programmed (starting decades ago) now to a sufficient level where objective truth itself has been permanently obliterated for them. Most cannot be rehabilitated and literally will only get worse at most every level as time and historical tides flow onward.
If the pandemic systemically destroys a large chunk of their voting bloc, then all the better for the US and the world on a planetary-wide basis.
Again, not a nice thing to say, but at a truly macro level, a good overall outcome on balance. Better to have nature take out many of the worst humans on the planet (and doing so via choices the scum made for themselves) than to have to do so down the road ourselves in a possible kinetic civil war whose outcome is far from certain.
Like they say in Barbados:
Hard ears dun hear, hard ears gunna feel.

(21,146 posts)heart, lung, and other organ damage will be dependent on the insurance and government programs that they oppose. Wonder how fast their views about that will change when they are too ill to work and need extensive medical care.

(8,571 posts)On Thom Hartmann. Over 50 percent of GQP congressmen are refusing Vax. And all they have to do is go downstairs to get the shot. Yet they refuse. How can we expect GQP citizen morons to get shot?

(45,256 posts)there are photos of many of them getting the vaccine after claiming they won't and telling others not to get it.

(14,846 posts)This country has collectively been mentally ill about "positive thinking" for years. It's treated like a magical cure-all for just about everything.
Most people remain grounded in reality despite that regular messaging, but I'm not too surprised that some Americans recklessly endanger themselves and others with their unrealistic thinking.

(15,073 posts)He believed in positive thinking, the power of prayer, and something called the secret. He was a big fan of multilevel marketing, too. He died broke and too young.

(6,205 posts)can make them do the right thing. Other countries can make their citizens follow health guidelines. I sure wish we could here. Stores can though and I hope they continue requiring masks.
William Seger
(10,742 posts)I wished that it would scare the shit out of him, and if he recovered, he would start taking the pandemic seriously. I should have known better; Trump is and always will be Trump -- and so will the majority of his cult. Otherwise, at least the ones who have gotten seriously sick or lost relatives and friends would have already left the cult and denounced its covid policies.

(832 posts)Yes people piss and moan about wearing a mask in NY but for the most part they follow the rules. There has become a society of selfish brats that the slightest inconvenience is just overwhelming hardship, masks, gas prices, taking our guns away, gay people marrying I almost feel sorry for these insecure selfish idiots............. But I don't, the hell with them all.
