IMO, this attitude (including Biden and the administration) is the biggest obstacle to defeating the virus and hopefully regaining some sense of normalcy.
Tech -- on this, you are 1000% wrong. The evidence is OVERWHELMING. The vax refusers are just going to refuse.
It doesn't matter if you give them more medical information. It doesn't matter if you treat them nice. It doesn't mater if you call them dumb fork MAGA mouth breathers (which is exactly what they are). They still refuse. Doesn't matter if they get Covid, they still refuse. Doesn't matter if people around them die, they still refuse. Doesn't matter if you give them lottery tickets or gift cards or scholarships -- they still refuse. They are unreachable and unpersuade-able and beyond facts.
We've been far too accommodating to the mouth breathers. Only one thing works -- forget the carrots and smack them with sticks. Take the shot or you are fired. Take the shot or pay $200 extra per month. Voila -- they all take the shot.
Our Gov. Polis has it right. At this point, it is your own darn fault if you get sick. There's plenty of life jackets to go around. But some dumb forks refuse to put them on as the boat sinks.
While we would never actually refuse to treat the dumb ass MAGA mouth breathers when they get sick, it is completely appropriate for the rest of us to call them out for being so stupid, so selfish and so forking hypocritical.
Wah wah wah -- I don't trust Fauci and doctors and being forced to be a lab rat. My body, my choice (unless pregnant), muh ruy-iots!!
Wait wait wait -- I'm sick now. Please give me a bed in the ICU and pump me up with every experimental EUA treatment available. Who cares if those cost like 10,000X more than the shot I've refused to take for a whole forking year.
The obvious and overwhelming facts are clear. At this point, it is all their forking fault.
But since they are, in fact, so forking deplorable, it probably does make sense to spend extra resources to design yellow life jackets (i.e. therapeutics) since the mouth breathers just won't wear the orange ones (which are cheaper and work better and in plentiful supply).
Boycott stupid. If you ignore the gator troll, eventually he'll just go back under his bridge.
