A Modest Proposal ...

There has been some resistance to vaccination in the health-care sector.

How about this: unvaxed employees can go work at non-vax hospitals that serve only the unvaxed Covid infected hospitalized?

1. They will cry about "their rights". Like vaccinated people don't have rights. nt

[Volaris]

2. Other than the logistics of moving those people to the proper places,

That's not unreasonable at all.

3. I called it a "modest proposal", not "The Grand Plan" fer pete's sakes. OK. So that's one against.

4. Oh, its completely modest. I'd say that your missing a requirement that these

'Medical Professionals' also be allowed to use ONLY their bibles as PPE while working, since they've no actual use for the Science of medical science.

I work with some of these people. I dont want ANY of my coworkers to get sick.
But they're GONNA.

5. I thought you were going to suggest that we eat Irish babies

6. Someone all ready stole that one. The title was all that was available. I've used it at least ...

... four or five times on DU. Do I need to credit Swift?

8. Darn--I thought I was doing an original snark

Now I feel bad

10. And we can't have that, now can we? I admit it, it's mine.

7. A Modest Proposal....Originally a Johathan Swift short story about what to do with poor children..

Swift proposes that we kill all poor children and eat them, so that they don't grow up to cause any trouble...
(it is really mocking how little help we gave to poor children at that time)

Let them all be together...eh?....Unless one knows the original "A Modest Proposal"
one would not know that ...marble falls.....is really mocking those who are not vaccinated...

...

I read this in a college class on "satire"

marble falls is playing on that idea..(unless one knows the original idea, one would never know that)...Yes..indeed.
