The unvaccinated are so by choice. Deliberate, calculated, uninformed, misinformed, obstinate, willful ignorance and arrogance.

They CHOSE. The wagered and lost, and we're paying the vig.

Medical Tents staffed by military docs. Make them comfortable, and leave the hospitals and their staffs to the MAJORITY of folks who are vaccinated and have genuine health issues.

I fear what might happen when the next run of v-fib hits me out of no where, and my defibrillator goes off, or I have my next heart attack. Or my husband's transplanted kidney goes awry.

These people are pariahs. Treat them as such. Make being voluntarily unvaxxed, at this point, when it's entirely a political calculation, a high cost, high risk proposition for them. Bummer about losing their jobs.

These same hatriots applaud firing folks for being gay, or pregnant while single, neither of which are contagious. My only solace is that more GOQP voters are dying off.
