You're willing to sacrifice people that you consider "expendable", because you think vaccination and masks are more dangerous than a highly infectious disease with long-lasting detrimental health consequences even for survivors.

Such a severe lack of empathy is disturbing.

This is incorrect, the Delta variant is hitting young people hard, including children.

The ego-driven vaccine denial and lack of respect for distancing and mask requirements is killing people.



Looking at the CDC data linked from the healthline article, it appears that the delta variant does not hit children hard.

Scandinavians countries just suspended Moderna for kids.

But keep ranting how the science is _settled_ and everyone just needs to fall in line. Give me a break.

As for your lame "lack of empathy" argument - the only way for an unvaccinated person to be a risk to anyone else with COVID is if they are symptomaic - i.e. if they have a fever. However, as a vaccinated person not only can you have COVID, you can be shedding (spreading) it without any way of anyone around you knowing unless you have been recently tested.

That's what's beyond crazy - the vaccinated represent a bigger threat for covert spreading than the unvaccinated! An utter 180 from the popular narrative.

So yeah, keep on your high horse about empathy, denial, etc. At this point there is very little science in these discussions - you are espousing dogma and propaganda.


The CDC is misrepresenting both the covid risk for children as well as the vaccine risk for children in an effort to justify vaccinating children.
