??? I'm not celebrating that. I'm saying it's "better" to target immunocompromised people the two times a year they go to a protest, than to target them every day in their daily lives. You could as well also ban them from protecting themselves in the supermarket or in the subway. And make their lives completely miserable. Going to protests happens more rarely, so it has lesser impact. But no. It's totally not good or acceptable either.
It's going to affect immunocompromised people every day of the year regardless, whether it's supposed to or not.
Infectious disease doesn't take a break because the cops "need" to identify "troublemakers" with their Orwellian spying on blameless people.
Besides, making it unsafe for everyone who ever participates in a protest to be around anyone who's immunocompromised is a whole new level of oppression!
I think we're talking at cross purposes... I 100% share your perspective. Same for me: Don't throw sick people under the bus. In fact, don't throw anyone under the bus. Don't cut down on freedom and democracy. Don't turn it into a total surveillance state just because you're a politician and took Orwell as an instruction manual.
Fair enough heh. You have yourself a nice day 🙂
