On one hand it’s tragic but on the other…
y’all’s shoulda had listened.

Those who genuinely can't have the vaccine, for whatever reason, should get priority care.

Hindsight is a kick in the ass. By the Hulk in this case.

Now repubs are like, oh shit they bought our BS and our voters are dying. Wait guys! Congratulations, you played yourself.

They are a cancer.
RuffleMyFluffles
They've made their own decision. They've opted not to look any further than vaccine misinformation.
DuckDuckone
Delta hit us hard in Indonesia. We’re barely vaccinated. Govt slow response. A lot of idiots not social distancing. Now we’re overwhelmed
DuckDuckone
People are treated in tents because hospitals are full. The other day 30 died in one night in a hospital due to oxygen shortage
Morbidius
I've worked in the ED the entire time covid has been going on. Used to be 3-4 c19+ a day. Now its down to like 1 every few days or so.

What's the point in saving these people?
RightfulSin
None. They should be forcefully detained in the emptied prisons as a threat to public health. Jam them in there and leave them.
pilomotor
Some of them were positively contributing to the economy.
omgwtfhuh
They are still people, it's possible they can change. But others should get care before them if there is a shortage of beds, meds, docs, etc
dasklaus
When they regret not getting the vaccines, they're the ideal ambassadors for vaccination to their families, neighbors, churches.
Ventorath
What happens when hospital staff burns out from 2 straight years of Covid madness?
REOJackwagon
Already seen news stories about it, staff quit and go do something non covid related
DocOrpheus
Everyone is gonna find out real quick.
Zindarak1
wonder how the next election is gonna go with all these republicans gone

As a reminder, Trump's electoral victory in 2016 was ultimately decided by just 80,000 voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

This is gonna bite them in the ass like mail-in voting on steroids. They've literally convinced their constituents to remove themselves.

The people these stories need to reach are not affected by these stories. If anything, they consider it a big lie to manipulate them and 1/
xstickman
thus become even further entrenched in their views. I legitimately have no idea how to combat this, at all. 2/2
doyouevenrobot
At this point I think you just tell everyone to mask up again, cut some firebreaks and toss accelerant on the fire to get it over with.
doyouevenrobot
If these morons actually see people dying in droves around them they *might* get a clue, but at this stage I doubt it.
ArkoneAxon
Honest answer? The big problem is the demonization and mockery of them. Why would ANYONE listen to someone who calls them stupid and evil?
DreamingOfDistantShores
Kind of a chicken-and-the-egg situation if they keep acting stupid and evil, though.
ArkoneAxon
Not really. Compare treatment of Germany post-WW1 with treatment of Germany (And Japan) post WWII.

Elitewarrior5674
I am so glad I retired a couple of months before this shit hit.
datteslur
So glad I left healthcare, I don't have it in me for another COVID round.
VoidofStatic
No sympathy for the wilfully stupid, plenty for the heros misfortuned to care for them.
Shaodyn
If the US government told people not to lie down on busy streets during heavy traffic, millions would run outside with sleeping bags.
Shaodyn
"No government is gonna tell me when I can't lie down in the street! I'm gonna stay there all day now to prove my independence!"
ArkoneAxon
More a case of "one branch of the government told them not to do it, and another told them to immediately do it and don't live in fear."
Shaodyn
What I said still applies. There's a fairly large amount of oppositional behavior for its own sake.
ArkoneAxon
Yes, but that's due in large part to the mockery and demonization of the people in question. Would YOU listen to someone who opened with,>
ArkoneAxon
"Hey, you stupid evil asshole! Stop licking your own ass for two seconds and listen to someone with a working brain!" Not exactly the way>
ArkoneAxon
to succeed on a persuasion check, is it?
cavemans
Just went and got tested today. Chest hurts, chills, off and on fever, shortness of breath, nausa. I had the vaccine and had it once already
datteslur
Vax only boosts your bodies response to COVID, doesn't make you immune. Hope you feel better soon!
cavemans
I know still sucks to do the right thing and I still might have it again. My chest hurts so much right now.
datteslur
I'm sorry you're going through it again. I worked in HC when it first hit and got it before the vax was released. It was no joke.
cavemans
Test came out negative but doctor told me he is diagnosing me with covid as he thinks it is a false negative.

If Darwinism works it might raise the average IQ.
theangryjanitor
So some of them are glad to die. That says something. Something horrible.
CrappleJack
to paraphrase the great J.M. Field, "Give them what they want."
theangryjanitor
I like " give the baby the bottle " - as far as I know my old boss
FFKonoko
Eh, some of them are deluded enough to stay in that mindset all the way. They're not glad to die, just too stubborn to admit their mistake.
CrappleJack
it's called Lethal Stupidity. It should be allowed to run its natural course, but kept away from others.
theangryjanitor
That's pretty horrible
CrappleJack
it's hysterically funny, and I am tired of pretending it's not. I took covid test appointment calls in NY from March until June. it was 1/2
CrappleJack
a fucking horrorshow. We had 1000 people dying a day. IF THESE FUCKERS REFUSE TO LEARN, LET THEM DIE. Learning is a survival trait.
elixer477
Sorry if heartless but I think they should be lower priority to anyone else needing medical care. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
RightfulSin
Yep. Ask and tested. Get vaccine? No. Any health reason? No. Kick them out of hospital. You can't have it if it's a hoax, right?
Appx3
Yea decline basic healthcare for anyone are you that stupid? So if someone smokes well you knew the risk’s deal with it and kick them out1/2
Appx3
Or lets say some alcoholic end up on Ic well sir you knew what can happen so yea we gonna drop you right outside gl brother
Ttcha
Not that heartless; that's roughly how organ transplantation goes for smokers etc. It's a matter of practicality to direct limited resources

I have no sympathy left for antivaxxers that get themselves hobbled or killed by this.

Buncha people CANNOT get vaccinated or are kids who weren't YET.

I’m tired of pretending I care about these fools. I feel for the hospital staff that are expected to care for them.
morgen110
F them, they deserve it. Darwinism at its finest. Every one of them that falls, gets us one step closer to herd immunity.
Bigemedic
Yep, 100%
ArkoneAxon
So... you're admitting you never cared about them in the first place? Then why would you expect them to care about others?
KafkasKarma
It's like being intolerant of the intolerant. In general you care, but after somebody shows time and time again how they just shit on everyo
KafkasKarma
Ne else, why should their fate be of any interest? People who care I general will be continuing taking precaution
ArkoneAxon
Why should they care about you? You don't care about them. That's how people become nazis in the first place. That's how they became nazis>
ArkoneAxon
back in the 1920s/30s. Treat someone as if they're evil, make them the butt of jokes, ignore their issues... it's a self fulfilling prophecy
KafkasKarma
Nobody said treating them as evil. I just don't care abou them.
alsoAzrael
People didn't become Nazis because Jews were mean to them. They became Nazis because they listened to fascist propaganda about how dangerous
fidormula
Hey guys, so what if there is actually a depopulation conspiracy, but the anti-vax movement is the tip of their spear?
Drleery5772
Those dieing now are Trump's anti-vaxcers.
SybilCrawley
Been going on for decades. First they fed us chemically laden food, then defunded our healthcare & education, now they're dividing us.
theredacted
I know this is probably a bad thing to say but I loved walking around my town at night during the quarantine. No traffic, peaceful,
theredacted
It felt so eerie at the time but it’s something I’ll probably remember for the rest of my life
MrFNSunshine
I prayed for a plague to kill off a bunch of these stupid people and I was answered. So this is all my fault. Sorry!
CascadiaPNW
You and me both
SybilCrawley
Pretty sure others prayed with you, it was a collective effort.

I didn't pray for it, but I've been warned since I was like 8 that it would be likely to happen. Thanks, Dad.

That’s very good. Cute, lovable, deadly. The prototype was based around a small helpless looking puppy, but a bunny carries on a tradition.

Good riddance to bad genes?
theangryjanitor
Yeah I think the shit ship has sailed at this point. All hail the might of the survivor!
fidormula
Amen.
Cataphract01
It's not bad genes it's political, moral or religious indoctrination within a culture that values opinions as much as facts.
NellyWelly
People like that have always existed. None of this is new. Certain kinds of people are just more likely to buy into convenient narratives.
MaelstromSama
Which is probably related to genetics in one way or another.
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
its called natural selection. i dont see why every other post on imgur needs to be about it.
P50Juan
The problem is that many people are immune-compromised, children, or want the vaccine but can’t get it, and the UnVax’d put them at risk.
ms1967
I'm immune comprised(I don't have a properly working immune system)because of anklosing spondylitis and fibromyalgia. I still got both shots
ms1967
My specialists told me to get both vaccinations. If I got Covid because I wasn't vaccinated, it probably would have killed me.
aneyeholeman
I absolutely cannot wait for it to be approved for children under 12.
trikucian
Expect it in December/ January. I'm not letting my daughter start daycare until she has it
mratio
This ?...also o can’t wait for formal FDA approval and make vaccines mandatory.
PectorialMuscles
Fda would make it more popular by some. But yeah, mandatory vaccination is a must have.
MrTudor
in RO we cant have sexual education in school. mandatory vaccination ore restrictions are illegal by constitution.Cant keep us in state of/

the real problem is those infected who produce mutation that will end affecting those vaccinated.When start mutate like flu than is really/

bad and will be to late.Than to see restrictions, deaths and ton of money invested in vaccine research.

The amount of people dying/will die won't have a significant effect on total population

What if it was a way to fight climate change. It got everyone off the road.

Maybe I. Canada and Europe, not where I live. The roads were only empty for a week here.

The fatality rate is not high enough. Population is still going up. https://www.worldometers.info/
eddbrowne
Calm down. Little vaccination, so c-19 variants are coming; then c-22.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Barely a scratch in climate change correction.

maybe he meant : let the stupid people die and then only people who believe in climate change will remain

AranaDiscoteca
More being lied to due to untrustworthy sources allowed to masquerade as unbiased facts, and sanctioned team think politics in science.
ArkoneAxon
I like how you were downvoted by people wanting to be seen as virtuous by condemning you for... not wanting fellow human beings to die.
AranaDiscoteca
There's always something going right -- they were trying to hold me accountable. But, we do need to work on compassionate accountability.
AranaDiscoteca
Downvoters, honest question: Do you not believe in the Right Entertainment-News cult or not believe that said group bears responsibility?
AranaDiscoteca
Or that despite being indoctrinated into said cult they still bear ultimate responsibility for their actions, uninformed or otherwise?
AranaDiscoteca
All are valid takes, but I am legit curious
GlenL
Yeah, if only I knew who to trust, the global scientific community, or the guy I went to high school with who used to huff paint in shop.
AranaDiscoteca
For a long while it wasn't this dire. They could and were allowed to safely trust "their" news as it fed them lies that made them feel good.
AranaDiscoteca
They'd been prepped for years with "look at how histrionic and ridic the other side is being" over legitimate problems, without consequence
AranaDiscoteca
Normalizing outrage. And thus were taught this outrage is the same "manufactured" stuff as everything before. It's entertainment, not news.
AranaDiscoteca
I mean... Being born into a cult or growing up normalizing a cult with no outside views... This is what happens
jayman0123
I hear it's a personal responsibility type of thing.
AranaDiscoteca
It should be. But it feels wrong to say the fault squarely lies with the manipulated and not on the shoulders of the manipulators.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
I don't think you know what "unbiased" actually means, nor do you care. You want to yell loudly and stamp your feet and play the victim.
AranaDiscoteca
I'm confused about what you're saying. I'm saying the vaccine was politicized instead of being treated as a legitimate scientific cure by
AranaDiscoteca
various media sources. Politicians allowed questioning of this science for the sake of rallying their base. They posed questions of efficacy
AranaDiscoteca
due to misunderstanding of percentages over large populations, and treated scientific rigor as being "uncertain" with tricks of rhetoric.
AranaDiscoteca
Also.. forgive if this is obvious and I'm not getting it but, play victim how? I'm vaccinated, was immediately vaccinated and pro-vax.
llortamai
Surely those sources are being held accountable!
64645
This is why Faux News is telling people to get the vaccine now. Their lawyers told them. It certainly isn't because of an ethical crisis.
AranaDiscoteca
I do try to avoid pejoratives as much as humanly possible. That said, I don't... think most fully understand accountability of sources.
ArkoneAxon
Tucker Carlson has admitted in court that nobody should believe the things said on his show. So has Rachel Maddow, interestingly enough.
AranaDiscoteca
That is to say, I don't think there's the idea that Tucker Carlson needs to own up to his sources being correct, valid, tested, etc.
AranaDiscoteca
I mean, wasn't there a hullaballoo over Tucker Carlson not wanting to admit his own vaccine status?
