I can't speak for other people but I was upset to enter a medical era where bureaucrats were forcing medical decisions on me. I was forced to get it or lose my job despite 1) working remotely, 2) having already had Covid and 3) being healthy and not at risk of Covid death but being the largest risk for myocarditis.
- martythemaniak 2mo agoIs that when you entered that era? Or did you enter it when you were a newborn in the hospital, or a kid entering school?
- searine 2mo agoBecause, it is always all about you...
- DaSHacka 2mo agoClearly his issue is not understanding its actually all about 'grandma'.
- declan_roberts 2mo ago"Think about grandma" was the covid version of "somebody think of the children"
- DaSHacka 1mo agoTruly, it's the same moralizing appeal-to-emotion but with a different target ("you care about grandma, right? you wouldn't want her to die, right?"). I've always felt it was strange that the argument was (and still is!) largely blindly supported on HN, like haven't we heard this one before?
- searine 2mo agoIt's about protecting each other, basic empathy. Doing the bare minimum to and taking miniscule risk to protect the lives of people around you. Sorry that's hard to understand.
- DaSHacka 1mo agoIt is 'hard to understand' if you get harmed in the process. Hence the jokes about 'doing it for grandma', or 'screwing yourself over with lifelong complications for someone who's already 80.'

- declan_roberts 2mo agoThat's the definition of a personal decision.
- searine 2mo agoI might decide to shit on your front porch every morning. It is the definition of a personal decision.
- Arkhaine_kupo 2mo ago> I was upset to enter a medical era Did we enter a new era or where you not paying attention or affecting you before? Reminds me of the old adage of: Q: "Why is no one speaking about this?" R: "Is no one talking about this, or are you just 20 and its the first time you are hearing about it?"
- hdhdhsjsbdh 2mo agoAmericans are so silly. Resentful of being told to do anything for their own good or the good of others because of “individual liberty”, yet so willing to lick the boot of the police state and corrupt crony capitalists. Good news for you is that Elon went in and set the bureaucrats straight, so enjoy your diarrhea and glass in your food.
