(43,149 posts)Doctors walking out on hospitals, school districts in court to try to enforce mask wearing, companies requiring vaccination as a condition of work, mask wearing at work .... the wisdom of hanging your hat ona political protest strategy that packs a deadly punch to potentially anyone will be questioned for decades. Unfortunately, many, many families will never forget as they recall their lost loved ones.
We are winning, we will win this game, but it is a hollow, painful victory.

(2,809 posts)Long overdue. As a traveler most often working in remote locations, I've encountered RWNJ anti-vaxxer caregivers which has always struck me as ironic, since most systems require quite a vaccine regimen, so those refusing are only falling in line with the RW news sources/conspiracy BS.
So just recently I've gotten missiles from ex-colleagues informing me that these few holdouts are on notice to vaxx or walk.
Oh, it's a karma so sweet to me and others these notorious free-dumb loving troublemakers pay to play.
