Masks, shots, distancing, whatever it takes.

I'll gamble on some things.

I usually prefer the road less traveled.

But my health? I'll go with what has been road-tested and proven effective.

all think they know more than anyone else, experts included. They believe they'll magically weather the storm. But, I'd be willing to bet (I'd probably lose that one) that not a single one of them would hop into a NASCAR race car without a fire suit, without the 5-point safety harness, without the roll cage, without the wrap-around seat and especially without the helmet while racing side by side at 200 mph at Talledega. No race driver would would even remotely consider throwing caution to the wind like that. Sadly, I believe some of these idiots actually would. And some of them would die needlessly just as they are now with Covid.

The warnings are there. The entreaties are there. The data is there. The science is there. The vaccines are there - and they’re REE, for Pete’s sake! MULTITUDES of ALL of them. These anti-anti-vaxxers CHOOSE not to face and embrace the facts, the truth, and the medical truth-tellers. They actively reject it all. They’d rather worship the fake gold ass. So fine, then. Let them reap what they sow.

After which, we will give any unused shots to Mexico, and after that, they will have to pay for them (and how much will be up to Free Market Forces).

Theyll scream bloody murder, and go their damn shots (FINALLY).
