Do you not understand “vulnerable population”?
There are actually people that the vaccines won’t help. They are immunocompromised. They can only be protected by high vaccination rates and zero exposure to Covid.
- bart_spoon 5y agoYes, but those people will never stop being vulnerable. Covid is never going away, period. Anyone saying otherwise has been living in a fantasy for nearly 2 years at this point. So completely distorting society to ensure zero Covid exposure has not only proven itself to be relatively ineffective, but it would be required to be done forever. The situation will be no different in a year or 5 years than it is from now, so continuing to argue for societal shutdown is completely untenable.
- ars 5y agoSo your plan is to harm millions in order to protect tens? People who are immunocompromised have a tough life, but we can't shut down the world for them. COVID is here to stay. Forever. You can't shut the world down forever.
- ChicagoDave 5y agoThe temporary financial harm of everyone in exchange for ending the pandemic or ignoring the pandemic, hoping it goes away, but because so many people are unvaccinated, it keeps morphing and costing us billions of dollars anyway. Hmmm....which seems better?
