Terminal stupidity is anti-vax, anti-mask comorbidity
I’ve used the term “terminal stupidity” as a bit of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm for things deathly dumb; like walking up to an elk at Yellowstone National Park to get a close look (“Isn’t it just toooo cute?”) or tossing a tuna sandwich to a bear at a Mount Rainier. (“Hey, let’s feed ‘Yogi,’ the smarter-than-the-average-bear, and apparently smarter than some pick-in-ick-ers.)
But “terminally stupid” has taken on a whole new meaning these days.
It ain’t a joke no more.
I’m talking about masks, vaccines, covid’s delta variant, and those who refuse to take the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Covid is real; real people are really dying; vaccines work; and vaccine resistance is hardening, especially along political lines with polling data showing 47 percent of Republicans saying they are unlikely to get a shot (compared with only 6 percent of Democrats).
