- munk-a 5y agoThis isn't how pandemics work - and this is a large part of why I emigrated from America. There is this insane conflation of liberty and personal freedoms. You aren't getting vaccinated for yourself - you're getting vaccinated to help create a safe environment where this pandemic can be stamped out. We've lived with this for more than a year now - it isn't just going to magically disappear and, if we haven't done anything by winter, it's going to get worse again.
- bwship 5y agoWorse in what way. A .5% death rate. I'm not getting vaccinated specifically for my own health reasons.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoIf you can't get vaccinated for health reasons you're exactly the type of person vaccinations help protect.
- echelon 5y agoStay away from me and my family, thanks.
- txsoftwaredev 5y agoIf you and your family are vaccinated then you have nothing to worry about. Right?
- echelon 5y agoThat's not true. Unvaccinated have a much higher probability of catching, spreading, and evolving new variants of the virus. Vaccination protects individuals, but does not prevent the disease. There are still vaccinated patients showing up to hospital ERs (granted, at a substantially lower number than unvaccinated). If 80+% of people get vaccinated, the virus will have a much harder time spreading and evolving. As it stands, the virus is still having a field day. I don't want unvaccinated, higher probability infectors/spreaders around me and my loved ones. If you love this country, do something for your fellow Americans and get vaccinated.
- skyde 5y agoRight the only logical explanation is that 40% of the US population are selfish. I don’t care how much money you donate to charity, I care how many people died because of you :-)

- bwship 5y agoDon't shed on my family bro.
- echelon 5y ago> Don't shed on my family bro. You say that ironically, but that's exactly my point.
- bwship 5y agoI'm not saying it with irony. We actively don't hang out with vaccinated people, because of their spike protein shedding. It has caused things like missed periods, and cuts where the blood won't clot. Why would I ever take the first thing the government has ever tried to not make money on? It's not a goodwill gesture.
