sure, not a reason to wish him and other unvax fast death though, like a few dudes did many times here.
They are entitled to their opinion and it is somewhat justified. To a large extent with covid, we are the masters of our own fate in this matter and they chose unwisely. I have a lot less sympathy for those who touted the antivaxx lie and killed others with bullshit. It's hard to feel sympathy for those with blood on their hands, who kill themselves and others with stupidity and bullshit.

Saying antivax people have blood on their hands is a really questionable statement. vaccine is supposed to prevent severe forms and death, so yeah if weak people stupidly buy their stories i consider it's their own problem. but yeah of course each one is free to have his own opinion.

It's the height of stupidity, the vast majority dying or getting fucked over are unvaccinated republicans, who make up 70% of the unvaxxed adults. In many places where margins are thin, this alone is enough to tip congressional races. Even the GOP leadership was panicking about the numbers for awhile, even Trump gets it now FFS, they are killing off their base! Do you really think such people should be running the country? Unless you have a death wish that is.

Well i pretty much saw that here, only for having a different point of view and choosing myself for not getting vax, was immediatly called and depicted as antivax trumptard innocent-killer. I'm none of this.
So according to what you're saying, yes you make sense. But yeah i'm not us citizen and don't really know if republican leaders are really antivax complotists or just have critical stances about the crisis management. I let that to you !

I take a less strident stance on the vaccination question than some who post on here. I do think it needs to be a choice in America, but with choices come consequences. With the vax or no vax choice, those consequences may include loss of employment, loss of a chance to get a new organ, etc. and I have no problem with that. I get where others are coming from with being completely fed up with the retarded arguments put forth by some who are anti-vax though. The sentiment of “fuck the unvaxxed, let them all die” comes from that deep frustration.
I wish more people would make a logical choice and not one based on idiotic misinformation spread by various sources. Joe Rogan is an idiot, so are many others with huge social media followings. Still a choice though, this is American democracy, not a dictatorship.
I tend to think critically and trust science, unfortunately many don’t and they trust whatever the fuck comes across their Facebook or other social media feed because it makes them feel good and reinforces their existing views. That is what frustrates the hell out of so many who have chosen to be vaccinated.

Such a good post till you implied not leaving a choice is a dictatorship. While throughout history many non-dictatorships had and have vaccine mandates. Mandatory vaccination comes in many forms, only physically forcing it on people must be avoided. There are many other situations where in a free democratic society people are not presented with a choice. Things like what side on the road you drive or paying taxes. At least for the most vulnerable groups and people interacting with those groups, there should be a vaccine mandate. Reinforce with fines, not physically force vax of course.

Die free, asshole.

Way to own the libs.
If they wanna self select at this point in the pandemic, I have little problem with it, make the world better with one less asshole at a time. I figure about 70 or 80% of those who are dying of covid now are probably middle aged and elderly republicans for the most part and that's amounting to nearly a couple of thousand a day. Considering many races and some states are decided by ten thousand votes or less, this could have an impact in some places come election day. It was making the GOP nervous for awhile and Trump was even concerned enough to mention it and use it against Desantis!

Fair enough. My point was that I don’t think vaccines should be physically forced or even coerced by the threat of physical force by a government.
I don’t see the world as a stark difference between a free democracy and a authoritarian dictatorship. There are huge grey areas between democracy and dictatorship. The offending sentence was not intended to suggest a bright line demarcation as it may have been interpreted.
