The good news for them is that it’s easier than ever for them to change their status

  Other than people with compromised immune systems, or people who are trying not to spread the virus to small children for whom the vaccine isn't approved yet. I'm all for being annoyed people who could get the vaccine but decided not to, but we shouldn't throw the actual babies out with the proverbial bathwater, right?

    We're not talking about literally killing them. We're talking about leaving them to their own devices. They can get vaccinated at any time. Why should the rest of us be locked down, now that we have effectively ended the overrun of hospitals? Wasn't that what this was all about? Who cares if people get the coronavirus? All that matters is not developing severe SARS-Cov-2.

      What about my posts has given you the impression that I care about the people who could get vaccinated but haven't? I've repeatedly expressed my annoyance there. However, we should do our part to minimize spread at least until kids can get the vaccine. In particular, it seems to be the case that the Delta variant can spread from a vaccinated person to an unvaccinated one, so if there's widespread infection people could get it, then give it to their kids. Anyway, all I'm doing is sticking to restaurants that have outdoor seating, wearing my mask in stores, and keeping distant from strangers on the sidewalk, so it is pretty relaxed compared to the height of the non-vaccinated pandemic.
