Get our vaxx rate up to where it was from 1970-2020 when we were all acting like grown ups (90%+).
This will all but empty the hospitals, which will in turn end all government interventions for things like distancing, masks, etc.....
...and we can all move on with our lives.
That's my move.
what's the plan?
Well, since that's obviously not happening? I dunno....cut off all Federal Covid aid, and watch our rural hospitals collapse as a result. Maybe the anti vaxxers will get the picture when their fellow taxpayers aren't enabling their choices?
There's nothing we can do, but sit back, and enjoy another winter of economic damage to parts of America that can't afford the damage.
so back to square one. no plan there. fatigue will only grow if the virus doesn't peter out.
Yep. Biden can't make people take shots. So we're being held captive by toddlers.
This doctor sums up the entire mess perfectly, although he leaves out that taxpayers are footing the bill for these idiots.....
“What makes me the maddest,” one of my doctor friends told me, “is that these people will reject science right until the second they need everything I have to keep them alive, and then they feel that they can come to our door and be entitled to that help and that hard work.” This friend is characterizing the inconsistency in the behavior she sees in people declining a vaccine but then demanding medical care based on the same science. That inconsistency feels, to her and to other dedicated medical professionals trying to survive this pandemic, very much like dishonesty.
That's because it IS dishonest. You don't show up at the doctor if you don't believe in the doctor, sorry. If you want to be treated as a serious, rational adult....you have to behave like a serious, rational adult.

I would make these people fend for themselves unless they have a legitimate reason. People would not accept this kind of behavior from their children….. I didn’t.
All this whining over simple mask and vaccine mandates. We have multiple generations of Americans who have no true understanding of diligence, perseverance, and patriotic civic duty.
As I mentioned in another thread … thank God we didn’t have to rely on these selfish and self-indulgent Fox-News-watching anti-vaxxers to win WWII.
Does anyone think these Trump-loving MAGA whiners could be relied upon to take Mt. Surabachi on Iwo Jima or to hold Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge?
I don’t think so.

Methinks you just described the left’s base too.
Selfish, self-indulgent whiners who would have cowered at Iwo Jima? With no true understanding of diligence, perseverance, and patriotic civic duty?
Interesting that you forgot to describe all the champions of the cry-baby social issues the left had been championing for the past decade and a half this way.
The left has a large group of people who believe pronouns, hurting feelings, mean tweets, being triggered, and how they identify…really matters.
I'll buy that retort, certainly as to some of demands of the far left "whiners". Some of it is indeed quite petty IMO.
However, perhaps the difference, if you'll consider it, is that most of those lefty 'whiners' you describe probably wouldn't
claim to be the fighters of "Iwo Jima", trying to wear their faux patriotism as some sort of badge of honor. Those on the 'right'
do make such claims. Which is total BS on their parts.
I'd also nitpick the "patriotic civic duty" aspect of those who justifiably consider themselves fighting for social justice...I think those who have actually been willing to put themselves on the line have all the right such qualities and don't deserve the scorn.
But, again, I do think there are 'whiners' on the left too.
Just a lot less hypocritically wrapping themselves in the flag.
