I do care about families with unvaccinated people. It would be awful if their family members died.

my ten year old child hasn't been given a chance, so I'm not totally happy about that attitude. But we are still taking reasonable precautions for her.

Not sure how really to handle the fact my kids aren't vaccinated and aren't even going to be allowed to be vaccinated for sometime. Yet the government is trying to portray normalcy upon me.

Covid is very much a real thing for the unvaccinated and my kids aren't vaccinated and it's not a choice with them.

And it's not just the vaccinated and the un-vaccinated.
But it's a snapshot of Murika today.
You would think the densest among the vaccine-deniers would get the message.

GET THE FUCKING SHOT!!!

than 98 to 99 percent of people hospitalized for covid now weren't vaccinated. The answer is simple. Get vaccinated. We don't go and blame the vaccinated people when somebody dies of rabbies because they weren't vaccinated.

I am cynical on this one. Especially given that the correlation between vaccinations and voting Biden vs Trump is so strong. The rwers are shooting themselves in the foot and honestly I don't care. They are threatening our democracy. If they want to risk dying just to spite the liberals they can go ahead. The rational amongst us will get the vaccine instead.

And his wife and child are anti vaccinations. She loves them in spite of everything and doesn't want them to get sick.

Theur anti vaccination beliefs affect everyone around them.

Some of my grandchildren are not old enough for vaccine yet. I don't want to chance a breakthrough infection and thereby make one of them sick. Therefore, I'm staying away from crowds and wearing a mask if I go inside a store.

and now I am returning to the activities that give my life meaning. The choice is everyone's to make on their own. With everyone over 12 having access to a vaccine here, I do not support any continued restrictions.
