I Try To Avoid The Daily Mail Site & The Comments There, But This One Is Precious

From an article about the current spread of Covid.

Bíll Bláck, Cow Town, United States, 3 minutes ago

There are only two steps to herd immunity. 1. Vaccinate. 2. Let the unvaccinated CATCH the Rona. Let them get sick, and some will die. The sooner the better. We can't recover as a society, and economically, unless both conditions are met. CATCH the Rona. Spread it to your unvaccinated family and friends. And HURRY up!

1. Mean... but I've been secretly grumbling something similar.

I just don't want the children to have to be exposed, because they have no choice yet.

And they aren't to blame for their parents, the ones who are supposed to love and protect them but instead are putting them at risk, and why? To prop up the dessicated flatulent mass that is Trump!

2. Well, Children Are Usually The Least Vulnerable To Effects

But of course, they can still spread it.

15. And children can also have very severe cases and/or die, or be left with MIS-C,

A serious (potentially deadly) consequence of COVID 19.

Franky, the kids don't get it bad sounds a lot like the COVID deniers in March 2020 who insisted that only the old (and useless) will be seriously impacted by it.

Tired of this attitude that treats any human being as expendable - especially those who are prohibited from getting vaccinated.

3. Remember last spring...

When the Repugs virtually said out loud that they didn’t care about Covid because the only people who were getting sick and dying lived in big cities in blue states and they weren’t going to vote for TFG anyway, so good riddance? That’s how I feel now. The silver lining to R’s not getting vaccinated is less of them.

9. It's a consolation prize, at least.

The real win would be having a nation of thoughtful individuals where this didn't come up.

4. Except ... The more it spreads,

the more it mutates. Instead of herd immunity, you get new variants.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. That is true. I don't think they thought of that.

Never ending, self-perpetuating.

This is really exactly what class action lawsuit said. That Trump purposely used us citizens against their will in a herd immunity experiment. Know that the guy who filed the suit is extremely questionable. And the suit won't go anywhere, so everyone said. But it's rationale is the only thing that made sense if you look at Trump's actions.

5. It's eliminates the republican party , I'M all for it !! dumb ass's !!

[Warpy]

7. I'm just going to point out from now on that their Lard and Savior Dumdum

jumped to the head of the line and got himself and his family vaccinated in January.

He just doesn't want any of YOU to get protected.

I can tell it makes them think. I can smell wood burning.

8. If new mutations were not possible, I might be on board. But alas, each new infection is a

variant factory, which makes unvaccinated people stochastic suicide bombers. Not something to revel in, honestly.

[SoCalDavidS]

10. We Have Little Else

I've received both my shots. Not much more I can do, aside from continuing to wear a mask on occasion.

[RockRaven]

12. I know, me too, but I just cannot yield even a modicum of satisfaction from these morons hurting

themselves because as they self-immolate -- for no good reason, we recognize -- they also spew out into the world untold numbers of potential landmines for the rest of us to step upon.

We are all being assaulted by these people and their selfish stupidity. To me, that is so fucking infuriating that I cannot enjoy any comeuppance they get along the way.

And critically, our (ironically, given RWNJ talking points) "personally responsible" behavior may not be enough because each new infection results in a possibility of completely undoing all/much of the vaccine protection we have all built up through so much effort, caution, and even suffering.

11. Hurry up

The delta is more deadly and faster. Corpses do not host anything to mutate. Fuck em. They could not wait for old people to die. Watching the Home Run Derby crowd for MLB tonight, Bang Bang Bobert may not have any voters alive in her Colorado district. Packed in and not a mask.

[IronLionZion]

13. It's no secret that's been their plan this whole time

from right when the pandemic started last year, those on the right wanted to infect everyone and continue life with whoever survives and doesn't feel guilty about mass death.

Except we'll get more variants.

14. May covid reduce their numbers

Quickly.
