Wait... So... magats are justifying their suicide by covid because... VP Harris?

That appears to be the reasoning of Chris Christie and FOX:

"That put us in a totally different area that allowed it to be politicized and that politicization is just continuing now" he told ABC’s "This Week" on Sunday.

President Biden recently announced a new mandate to get more Americans to sign up to take a COVID-19 jab because about 80 million people in the country have refused to voluntarily sign up for the shot. One of the main reasons is that people are skeptical of potential side effects and their effectiveness.

And of course, they completely misrepresented what she said. She said that if Dr. Fauci and the CDC and other experts determined the vaccine to be safe, then she would be first in line. She also said she would have doubts if TRUMP were promoting the vaccine.

prior to the election, rather than waiting for the emergency authorization process to be completed on its own schedule. I took her point to be that if it was rushed through like that, its safety would not be as assured.

But the problem with “Just let them die” is it doesn’t just impact them. It impacts people too young to be vaccinated, who have an actual medical reason why, and it provides a breeding ground for mutations of the virus that vaccines may be less effective against. Yes, it does impact these stupid, selfish people at a far higher rate… but their actions make it much harder for us to move past this.

We all have the same information.

They choose to be stupid.

What they are is cannon fodder for the Republican Party.

Their votes are no longer needed.

However... They do not deal in reality and nothing can be said or done to change their minds. No matter what facts are shown to them, no matter how solid the evidence, no matter how many die... They just don't care. They do not accept science or reason or facts, all they hear is the voice of dear leader. If you know a way to convince them I'll be all for it and give it my best effort but until then I see no alternative but to let them kill themselves.

I would prefer not even magats die but with no solution at hand I can only hope they kill as few innocents as possible.

Pneumonia is no fun.

Had it at 26.

Young and healthy, one week in the hospital and three weeks at home.

Another month of light duty at work.
