Dang it.
At least the new vaccine is supposed to protect against the newest variant. Not looking forward to another shot, though.

In a way, people are right. It's just the flu now. Not in symptoms or severity, but in the way that we'll just have to keep doing regular vaccinations.
Just think, if we had shut down for 2~weeks at the beginning and enforced vaccination at gunpoint, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Do you really want to live in a world where government mandated injections at gunpoint are a thing?
Yes, jackass. That is what I am advocating. A world without the ravages and suffering of death and long covid.
People who don't want to be vaccinated (as is their right) should be given food deliveries so they can shelter at home.
I obviously support bodily autonomy, but not the right to fill communal air with death.
Some people might call "stay at home or get vaccinated" house arrest. They could go right on calling it that.
So long as they're vaccinated, they can even call it that in public.
I prefer to think of it as a bank holiday with bullets.
A fun little stay-cation enforced through violence.
You're a psychopath.
You want a less glib answer?
I prefer a world where people are forced with guns to care for their fellow humans and deal with communal problems than one where people are forced with gun to continually get infected with a disease that destroys the mind, heart, and blood vessels.
...you know, like the threat of eviction and prison if you don't let your employer infect you.
I think a world where these people are stopped from spreading plague is preferable to one where these guys are stopped from "jay walking".
You call me a psychopath all you want.
You are the one arguing for massive death and physical/mental debilitation.
You're arguing for a world where the poor are made to die for the rich while smiling, which I think is way more horrific than a little temporary social cooperation gently enforced by copper-jacketed steel.
I consider forced quarantine and vaccination society-wide self-defense.
I also find it far more justifiable than "lets ban masks at schools and work and infect every single person as quickly and as often as possible".
Your position is far more violent and to a much more horrific end than mine.
I didn't argue for anything, I'm just calling them like I see them, absurdly over the top authoritarian psychopath with reading comprehension issues.
You argued against mandatory vaccination.
Mandatory vaccination would have prevented suffering and deaths.
Way I see it (if we're calling things now) is you want people to die.
That sound's worse than my position that preventable communicable disease should be prevented, but what do I know?
...apparently I'm the psychopath.
I didn't argue anything, you inferred things.
I read your other long thread with that other guy, and I'm 100% not going to be debating anything with you. You are clearly delusional and horrifically authoritarian by wanting to shoot innocent people (who, I'm sure you are going to say aren't innocent people).
Get help bro, you really need it.
Ah, but you did, Socratically.
And if you don't want to talk (which I'd prefer), you're free to fuck off.
Bye.
Bro the vaccines didn't stop the virus
The ones no one took and western nations refused to share the patent to?
The ones I wanted (and still want) to force people to take at gunpoint?
Those ones?
The thing people didn't use (while intentionally spreading plague "the own the libs") didn't work?
Big wow.
