"Me" over Community. This is my problem with libertarianism, the lack of consideration for the greater good because the individual comes first and foremost. And that particular individual is protected from polio and smallpox because communities vaccinated en masse, parents like mine had the common sense to get their kids vaccinated before America dumbed down from whackadoo youtube conspiracy theories and the elevation of selfishness.

I sound like an old lady waving my cane at the clouds, I realize, but people like him piss me off no end. Selfishness is literally killing people.

Free to breathe? Who can't breathe in a mask? My company is requiring everyone who doesn't provide proof of their vaccine record to continue to wear a mask. If you do provide proof, you are free to not have a mask. It's not a hard policy to comply with.

sure hope Tommy isn't a fan of the Foo Fighers, because they're starting their tour but only for those ticket holders that have been vaccinated. If you don't have proof of vaccination, guess what? YOU AIN'T GETTIN INTO THE SHOW!!! AND THAT INCLUDES COVIDIOTS LIKE THOMAS!!!

If not being vaccinated is 'freedom', I wonder why more people didn't refuse the polio vaccine in the 50's? Why were they willing to give up their freedom to get the polio vaccine, as I did, instead of questioning science as they do today?

Me thinks he is just trolling, the only thing the MAGA-base has to counter rational thought, after all it was the other guy who led the charge in developing, producing and approving the vaccines,(basically a gift to the current fake president) so why wouldn't you get it? I wonder if he is even from TX, when I lived there 30 years ago, we had no seat belt laws and open containers were legal while driving, given he current environment in TX I find it hard to believe that has changed.

This pandemic is not over. Variants develop that are even more easily transmissible and cause more fatalities. We have vaccines that work. This is survival of the fittest. The stupid will become infected and suffer the consequences. You cannot argue or even reason with people like Thomas from Texas, because they deny science and simply don't care. The incredible thing to me is - we still do not know how Covid-19 infection will affect any one of us, you may have a mild case, you may have permanent heart damage, permanent lung damage, persistent neurological problems, or you may actually die from it. Your caller is a devil may care Texan willing to play Russian roulette with a loaded gun, and it would not surprise me if he has done that for real. Again, so interesting that these characters call you up Michelangelo!

I was typing while listening making a point about those who say that they’re capable of drinking and driving and then you brought it up. That’s my go to response to these people. I do know people that feel it’s not fair that because other peoples can’t hold their alcohol that everybody’s affected by it.

The CDC isn’t making stuff up there doing with statistically his best and it’s not forever it’s until it’s under the control until everybody’s vaccinated. It really is just a bunch of people walking to complain about something that smart people want and they don’t like smart people they think they’re snobby they don’t think they have common sense. This is what the right has done to make these people feel empowered and they have just as much right to demand what they believe as those that are experts.

Poor mediocre man. Guess he’s not Trekkie. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”
