1. That's not nice.

35. 💚

It's petty and fundamentally ignorant of how the 2019 coronavirus works. One reason why the Biden approach to fighting covid is superior to the Trump approach to fighting covid is that the Democratic policy is based in science.

The OP in this thread is about as scientifically literate as Donald Trump. Covid19 doesn't just "kill off" the people who get it. It fucks up they're smelling and taste senses for several months and leaves scarring in the lungs that can last for years or for life (we don't know which yet). But with a few exceptions, it mostly kills people with existing complicating factors.

It's a painful disease and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even the people too stupidstubborn to to take reasonable precautions against spreading it. If you wish for unvaccinated people to get sick and die from Covid19, you're also wishing for innocent people like the elderly and the immunocompromised to get sick and die too.

4. Good one.

14. Baziiiing!

[jeffreyi]

3. At this point, if you're not vaccinated, and get the virus, too damn bad.

And thanks a bunch for your patriotism and community spirit.

5. No Vaccine:

No medical care for C-19

No medicare

No going to school or jobs

19. You're Fantasizing

NONE of those things have even an infinitesimal chance of happening.

We can't even get any sort of mask mandate in many states.

[Botany]

25. I know ... just venting

In Columbus, OH The Ohio State University, a place funded on science, knowledge, research,
and the greater good will not have a requirement to show that you have been vaccinated to
go and sit w/ >100,000 people at one of their football games.

[Hortensis]

28. No getting to grow up either, Botany?

In the best of times, everyone sometimes has unworthy, antagonistic emotions. In these times of fear, has DU become just another social media bonfire to throw them on?

[Lancero]

30. Pity to the children who aren't legally allowed access to the vaccine.

Let em die! Serves them right for being to young to get the vaccine!

[Lancero]

31. And to the children, currently not allowed access to the vaccine?

[Bucky]

36. Collateral damage

Some people feel bad when it happens and want to avoid it.
Some people don't.

[MontanaMama]

7. These boneheads should have to pay for their

medical treatment. THIS is the reason a national vaccine database would be so helpful…there would be a record of who is vaccinated and who opted out. The opt outs do not get their Covid treatment paid for and don’t get to have nice things. 😡

9. Now they can go to the light

[leftstreet]

10. Yes, fuck them and their loved ones!

Did you try to get grandma or your neighbor to get their jabs? Failed? Well you should have tried harder 1!!!!!111 Well at least the vaxxed can go to their funerals!

jfc what's happened to DU lately?

[Botany]

11. They are a clear and present danger to all of us. This nightmare could be stopped but thanx to ...

.... disinformation (Russia?), the Republicans, Fox, their "Pastors," and their own stupidity and
egos the pandemic lives on. They want to get sick and die? I'm fine with that but to knowingly
spread this deadly and or debilitating disease to others is just too much.

[leftstreet]

12. So they should die. Jesus n/t

[sarisataka]

15. At least we aren't advocating

Preemptively killing them, ___

[leftstreet]

18. lol

the day is young!

[Elessar Zappa]

22. Are we supposed to have sympathy

for idiots who are endangering society by their actions. If they don’t care about their life, why should I?

[sarisataka]

23. So should they be eliminated from society

To isolate the rest of us from them?

[Elessar Zappa]

24. There should

definitely be vaccine passports for things like concerts, cruises, and any other type of gathering. These idiots shouldn’t be free to pass the virus around and cause more mutations.

[Bucky]

38. Yes, gods yes, absolutely.

It is fundamentally indecent to wish for a disease to strike down people, even those who are being irresponsible about taking precautions from it.

When an apartment building is on fire, firefighters don't bust in and try to figure out who deserves to be rescued. The policy is and should be save everyone you can

You're mimicking of the Social Darwinis-just desserts policy is an insult to the humanistic traditions of the Democratic Party. Saying "Serves 'en right" is petty and small. It's the same kind of thinking that hand waved away the collateral damage deaths of Iraqis in 2003.

You should know better

[hardluck]

45. I doubt this is the Fox News/Republican demographic

Vaccination in Los Angeles County is underperforming among the poorer communities and among the Latino and African-American demographics. Infections and deaths have also disproportionately hit these communities.

I for one have sympathy for these folks but some days I feel like I’m in the minority here.

13. I'm grateful that the people who are dying now, are mostly people who have chosen to.

It's an immense improvement.

[leftstreet]

16. They're not dying, they're getting treatment

The article speaks to admissions, not deaths

[Crunchy Frog]

21. Some of them are dying, others are becoming deathly ill and spending time on ventilators.

In any event, it's by their own choice. It was much worse when it was happening to people who didn't choose it.

[Elessar Zappa]

20. I don't give a damn

about people who won’t protect themselves and the society they live in.

[nolabear]

26. It's disheartening. I get the frustration and worry but hate the meanness.

There’s a hubris to it I suppose, knowing you’re wishes of suffering and death for people and their families won’t amount to any of that actually happening, but I think it’s poison.

[Blue_true]

44. "What happened to DU lately"?

People are frustrated that unvaccinated people don’t see the writing on the wall. The unvaccinated are basically throwing a wrench into a return to “normal” societal living. Unfortunately, when people get frustrated, they become idiots in too many situations.

[Runningdawg]

17. I am retired nurse and I am not going to wish death on ANYONE

Tirage being a necessary part of medical care - the vaccinated person should get the last respirator.

[Bucky]

39. Thank you

and 💯

[frazzled]

27. I'm sorry, but ...

wishing death on people ... any person, even ones who are stupid or selfish, or heaven forbid, conservative ... is symptomatic of the social and moral breakdown I’m seeing everywhere in society lately. And such hateful talk has no place on this board.

It’s days like today that I wish we were back in the midst of pandemic lockdown. At least it was peaceful.

If you’re vaccinated, like me, just go about your business and continue to socially distance and mask when in public spaces. Wash your hands and know you are safe. And remember, some of those hospitalized unvaccinated people might be individuals who for medical reasons were unable to get the shot.

[chowder66]

29. I agree. There are people who are still wanting more info before they get the vaccine, those that

work multiples jobs and haven't found the time yet or those that can't get the vaccine because of their medications or conditions. Then there are the children that can't get them yet. There are people who are taking care of others that haven't had the time, the list goes on.

[Runningdawg]

40. Peaceful? Not in OK I think were the first state to have a fast food worker killed over a mask.

And the number of people with TRUE medical exceptions in OK is a tiny fraction of those who refuse to vaccinate. The same people, I might add, who wanted to KILL LGBTQ medical workers or anyone willing to take care of HIV patients 40 years ago.

[frazzled]

41. And now we should want to kill them?

Last time I looked, two wrongs don’t make a right. And anger can take years off your life. I prefer to spread hope and peace, even to those I find lacking in sense or morals . Lord knows we all have enough stress in our lives already. To me, wishing people ill is stressful.

[Runningdawg]

43. That was quite a leap. I'm just saying lockdown wasn't peaceful for everyone.

13 months ago I had the orange idiot and 20K of his cult camped on my back doorstep.

[chowder66]

32. Some of these people were not yet FULLY vaccinated.

Should they die as well?

From the article....


"To date, we have not had a patient admitted to a DHS hospital who has been fully vaccinated with either the J&J, Pfizer or Moderna vaccine," said Dr. Christina Ghaly, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, said Tuesday. "Every single patient that we've admitted for COVID has been not yet fully vaccinated."

[Apollo Zeus]

33. What a horrible thing to say. NT

[old guy]

34. Caring about what happens to these people, for me, is an exercise in futility.

Therefore, I don't care about their outcome. The science is out there for all to see if you choose to see it. If you choose not to heed it and you get sick or die because of it, I have no empathy for you or your survivors if they joined you in your decision. Too many people are not willing to go beyond their own self interest for the betterment of society as a whole. Too harsh? Perhaps, but in the end, it's just my opinion.

[smirkymonkey]

42. +1000

That's pretty much exactly how I feel as well. Why should I care about their well-being when they don't even care about their own or the health of people in their own community.

[FakeNoose]

37. Most of them believe that "it's God's will" if they get sick

Wait ... you mean it's NOT God's will?
