Don’t want the vaccine? Well then your a dirty a-hole!

And even on this site, there was this one absolutely insane user who just vanished immediately after the Capitol thing. My guess is he got arrested or put into mental care.

I’ve encountered characters like Niko before. They’re generally all bark and no bite. His problem was that he clearly invested himself WAY too much into Trump and convinced himself only he could single-handedly reverse all of the problems we’re facing and save America. He’s an example of what happens when normies and Boomers take too many redpills too quickly: They overdose and their previous worldview (whatever that may have been) completely shatter and they start believing all kinds of crazy nonsense, even making some of it up themselves. In proportion, Niko was thoroughly demoralized over Trump’s loss and probably just slinked off, considering he spent a half a year going on about how he thought everything would hinge on the outcome of an election

Personally, I’m starting to think that even if Trump won, it wouldn’t have changed much of anything. It would’ve just made America’s decline less obvious. It’s foolhardy to believe one leader can solve everything. Our problems over the world run much deeper than whoever’s in the White House. We have only ourselves to rely on. You can’t count on someone riding in on a golden chariot and fix everything for you.

I personally think most people are desperate and frustrated because it’s been 1 1/2 years of lockdown in most countries and people just want to get out, so most people just want everyone to get vaccinated and move on. Like basically a collective effort to move on goes to waste because some people don’t wanna do it.

I’m not really in the mood to discuss the ethicacy of lockdowns long-term, but I still think it was a mistake to lockdown whole populations over a virus until a vaccine could be rolled out. People act like we’re living in the greatest crisis mankind has faced since WWII, but I don’t think future historians are going to see it that way, nor judge us very kindly. Twenty years from now people will look back on this as a period of collective hysteria and wonder how on Earth did we manage to justify inflicting so much suffering on ourselves: Elderly couples separated from their families, suicidal children, the complete destruction of small businesses while billionaires gorged on the increased wealth, seeing a reduction of the middle-class. None of it was worth it.

But I absolutely think people should be able to not take it. Once everyone who wants to get vaccinated gets double dosed, just open up everything. If people who didn’t get vaccinated get infected with bad symptoms then it was their choice. Doesn’t bother me.

To respect the rights of those you disagree with is perfectly normal thinking (and I do appreciate that’s how you feel). Unfortunately, I don’t think our leaders, and certainly not the media, share your mindset. They’re increasing discriminatory rhetoric against the unvaccinated, suggesting there will be no return to normal until they get jabbed and a passport to prove it (which is a very conditional “return to normal.” Christ, I cannot in good conscience, bring myself to bargain with these people):

This level of divisiveness, dehumanization, and hate spreading is unbelievable. After WW2 it should be clear where such propaganda can lead society. This is the last chance to stop this madness, speak up or live in regret for the rest of your life.pic.twitter.com/1z8SqVyKuK

It’s not hard to suspect where this is going: All they have to do is throw us back into another lockdown and then blame it on the unvaxxed. I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t put it past them to stoke up hatred and division on the grounds of medical status; “If you would just get vaxxed I could have my life back.” Most people aren’t smart enough to figure out the problem is with those in positions of authority abusing their power. Or rather, they don’t have the necessary courage to confront them.

The vaccine doesn’t make you immune to covid, it’s to prep your immune system just in case.

I’ve had my first jab and I’ve not had one fridge magnet launch itself at me..

There was some really bonnie nurses though!

Some people out there believe in “shedding.” “Shedding” is the idea that the people who got the vax are making spike proteins, which they can give to unvaxxed people, so the people with the vaccine are the actual spreaders.

If it weren’t for this stupid forcing vaccines on people crap who don’t want it crap, I’d have a well paying job right now!!!!!! And my whole family’s respect!!!!! FUCK THE LIZARD PEOPLE PUSHING THIS CRAP!!!!!

When I think of Lizard people I think this
