Heres a few thoughts...
If you contract Covid and it can be proven that you either refused to wear a mask and when one comes out, refused to get vaccinated, the consequences should NOT be covered by insurance nor by any and all types of medical/financial aid.
I dont want my tax dollars going to help pay for your stupidity when you are laying there in the hospital racking up extensive medical bills because you felt so violated in having to put a piece of cloth over your face for a couple hours.
You are sooooo up in arms about your goddamn freedoms being violated because you have to wear a fucking mask....well, go live in Russia, China, North Korea or a hundred other places and then get back to me about your freedom.
And...OH MY GOD..THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO IMPLANT A TRACKING DEVICE IN YOU WITH THE VACCINE!!! REALLY??? If you really believe that, look me up because I have a unicorn, a round trip ticket to the North Pole to hang with Santa and the elves and a dinner with the Easter Bunny to sell ya!
Somebody please wake my ass up cause I cant spend another minute in this nightmare!!

(15,774 posts)is an Anti-vaxxer. She declared recently that she has studied the vaccine (Oh, do tell. You should call the CDC with your findings), doesn't need to wear a mask, will NOT get a vaccine, and (this is the best part) she says that eating organic food (mostly vegetarian) will strengthen her immune system so she will not get it.

(68,789 posts)Other anti-vaxx yahoos talk up hand-washing (which is a good preventive, don't get me wrong; but it won't do a thing to prevent the flu if you breathe in someone's sneeze-vapor.), frequent cleaning of living environment, etc.
It's a form of snobbery, I've discovered. "My clean living and just generally being an all-around fantastic person will protect me from the flu." That kind of thing.
As a practitioner of clinical medicine, I'm able to shoot down every single idiotic objection they have, until they're left with "I just don't want to", which is anti-vaxx for "I know I'm full of shit on this issue, but I'm too stupid and egotistical to admit that I'm wrong and the guy with the medical license is right."

(15,774 posts)I attempted to engage in conversation with her about vaccines (before I understood how adamant she was) and it was a real eye opener. I had heard of the species but had never encountered one up close. It's not possible to combat their arguments because they are so far out in the stratosphere that there is no answer.
Thanks for your reply Aristus.

It's probably time to pity them a bit, they are going to be in need of mental health services, far sooner than I after all is said and done to us by the consequences of electing this jackass?
But I'd rather sentence the ones that ACT on it and commit crimes to life long exile?
