Keep in mind there are some who genuinely can't get it, for one medical reason or another. We still need to keep them safe.

Keep in mind that that’s not gonna happen. Unless the President said that, your message is not going to get across. 848 Americans died today marked as a Covid contributed death. There were lockdowns across 90% of the country a year ago when less people were dying from this. So we’re just past that, sorry. Good luck to them. The goal was just to keep ICU capacity available for the normal distribution of emergencies in society. We’ve done that.

  You cannot compare death and infection numbers with those of a year ago when zero people were vaccinated and the vaccine was still months away.

    Whatever you are saying is just reinforcing my point? It means we’ve all been reduced to statistics for 15 months and we have now simply reverted to a mean where the world is not compatible with immunocompromised people and good luck to them, just like before Covid, and just like during and after Covid. They had a 15 month time period where people and the state would help reduce exposure to them, and that was the luckiest time for them to be immunocompromised and thats over now.

There are very few people who can't tolerate the RNA-based coronavirus vaccines. For severely immuno-compromised people, the vaccines may not be effective.[1] People who are going to have their immune systems suppressed for a transplant apparently present some problems, but can be vaccinated before the transplant or weeks afterward. That's a nice feature of the RNA-based vaccines.
