To the author, here's a proposal:
I'll stop stigmatizing unvaccinated by choice people going around endangering others when you stop stigmatizing drunk by choice drivers going around endangering others.
- HarryHirsch 5y agoThe comparison to drunk driving is apt. If you have to go to hospital with active covid you endanger the personnel and you take up a bed that someone else could use. Not too long ago there was a man in Alabama who couldn't get an intensive care bed because they were all taken up by Covid patients. (Let's face it, we know how that goes - if you end up in intensive care because of Covid there's a 50 % chance that you die, but only after a month, and a 50 % chance that you make it out of there with multiple disabilities.)
- angelzen 5y agoImagine a police officer stopping you at the side of the road. "When was the last time you drank alcohol?" "A couple of months ago at my brother's birthday party, I had a can of beer." "Step out of the car, you are under arrest for drunk driving." This manichean logic worked wonders last time it was tried.
