At this point I have zero emotion for anyone that never received the vaccines, gets sick, and ends up in a hospital. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I want to agree with you Jaron but then I think about all the healthcare workers forced to care for the (mostly) unvaccinated population that sprints to the hospital when they feel sick after ranting for months(years) about conspiracies. It’s a dangerous situation when the republican politicians- themselves vaccinated- want to utilize COVID to push their anti – government agenda.
How about the people that have been vaccinated and are still getting COVID??? Do you only feel bad for them…You are a sick individual…
“People are going to have to take the precautions that they feel are best.” The problem with that libertarian mindset is that the virus doesn’t respect boundaries, and unvaccinated, infected people who don’t want to have anyone else tell them what they out to do will end up infecting others exponentially. Just like the Trump SuperSpreader event with Amy Coney Barrett in the White House Rose Garden did. Remember? How shortsighted the GOP has become.
Brent – but if the current variant is significantly milder – as reported/confirmed this morn by the New York Times, of all outlets ( “omicron has less risk of death to a vaccinated 75 yr old than the seasonal flu”) – wouldn’t the libertarian mindset be more appropriate now that the risk is at levels historically acceptable? If not, can you help explain why, and what the practical endgame would be?
Sure, if we also prioritize care based upon vaccination status and age.
But we’ve decided that we are willing to save the unvaccinated regardless of the cost to the healthcare system and society at large. It’s a very bad time to have a heart attack or stroke right now, and healthcare workers are quitting in droves due to burnout.
So we are letting the terrorists win on this issue.
Scott B. The practical endgame would be to decrease the number of patients in our hospitals and ICUs before they collapse under the weight of operating at 120% capacity. The unvaccinated drive that metric since vaccinated Omicron COVID patients are unlikely to need hospitalization unless they have significant co-morbidities.
The practical end game is admitting we can’t save everyone and making clear that we have no alternative to rationing care, with care for pediatric cases and breakthrough cases at the front of the line and treatment for the unvaccinated either on an as-available basis or limiting what’s available to them to the antibody/antiviral treatments.
This would lift the load on health care workers immediately, improve the ability to give emergency non-COVID care, and remove the “but the hospitals are full” excuse for those who want further government restrictions. The downside is that it would effectively sentence the unvaccinated who get serious cases to death.
Greatest comment of denial ever uttered by a politician (Todd Huston), “COVID is something that we’re going to have to live with ….” Tell that to the 800,000 plus that are no longer with us.
The liberals are out today…..with more silly comments.
Clark B. – I’m a conservative, old enough to remember the shared values of our society not so long ago where individuals gladly made small sacrifices together for the greater good. Now it seems at least a third of our citizens shout “freedom!” as an excuse to opt-out of doing anything that benefits their fellow man. They are, to put it simply, exclusively putting themselves first and flipping everyone else the middle finger.
If you have a plumbing problem, you call a plumber not a politician. This House nonsense proves we should rely on experts in their field, not politicians saying stupid things that appeal to a vocal minority of largely Trump supporters who will faithfully show up at the primary elections to endorse again the extremist minority who will then get elected in their gerrymandered district and arrive at the Statehouse thinking they have a mandate to pass stupidity into law. What a corrupted system, where the minority rules.
Let’s Go Brandon!
Wow! Ed H. you sure are an original. Wait, I think I hear your wife calling from the kitchen. Your kool-aid is ready.
But this isn’t living! Living in a spirit of fear and kids missing out on how to communicate and learning. I get tired of the guilt and manipulation of people that ask if I want these people to die. The vaccine was made so quickly. Does it even fight against the current strain? What are the side effects? Why are we letting the government control our lives? The mental health places and hotlines are just a crammed as the hospitals. WHAT ABOUT OUR EMOTIONSAL HEALTH AND THE ABUSE OCCURRING BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE HOME SO MUCH? What if a parent cant work from home and has used up all the vacation days. Now I know they get a fresh set in Jan but they won’t last long. What about the economy? What about restaurants, retail, and schools who cant find enough bus drivers? Is this really worth it? I’m sure I’ll get slammed for this as most people have bought into the lie that the CDC and government knows what best for us.
