What about OUR rights? What about what WE demand? [View all]

By "WE" I mean those of us who follow the recommendations of the CDC, NIH, FDA and our local health departments: get the damn vaccination, wear the damn mask and avoid close indoor contact with others.

"THEY" are the self-centered lazy fools who would rather piss us off than protect us and themselves and all of our children.

They demand we respect their "right" to be petri dishes in which additional, perhaps more virulent, variants can develop.

Why can't we demand the right to know that everyone our child will in be in contact with at school, everyone we encounter at our job, in our post office , in our retail stores and restaurants HAS BEEN VACCINATED and, where appropriate, is WEARING A MASK?

Granting us our rights won't kill anyone. Granting them their rights is--- RIGHT NOW! --- killing many.

Do common sense and decency no longer mean anything?
