...seriously...
...I'm feeling sorry for our health care workers and for us in general...
...why are we making this extraordinary effort to save the stupid?
...so they can be stupid some more?...they're not ever going to get vaccinated or listen to reason, they're stupid...
...the sooner we rid ourselves of the stupid the sooner we'll reach herd immunity...
...we'd be slowing or stopping the variants saving and protecting our families, the non-stupid...
...I hate to sound heartless but how many tens of thousands of needless deaths have the stupids caused?
...how many hundreds of billions have we squandered since the release of the vaccines on needless medical care?...
...extremely effective vaccines no less...
...sorry...

(10,375 posts)That's a perfectly common-sense way to think. At this point, they've been given more than enough chances to do the right thing. They stupidly eat livestock medication instead.
Fuck 'em.

I understand they should protect themselves with vaccines but for doctors, they should just treat the patient regardless of whatever circumstance got them to the hospital.

...if I was fat and refused a safe injection that would make me thin, or insisted on having heart attacks, at some point they should reduce my treatment...I have no right to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in needless medical expense or prolong disease to maintain my stupidity...
...doctors and nurses are human beings putting themselves and their families at needless risk because of stupidity...
...if I was in the medical establishment I'd seriously think of getting out if I was working in a stupid community with stupids...
...where do we draw the line if not at trying to make things safe?
...you have a right to be stupid so long as your stupidity doesn't impact me, my friends or loved ones...
...at least that's the way I see it...
