Morphine Prince 109,682 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Nothing says “imperialism” like people in rich countries saying we need to “move on” when half the world doesn’t even have access to the vaccine and variants might emerge that make the vaccines available less effective It’s been like this with everything so it shouldn’t be a surprise, I guess.

What's fascinating to me is how other people in other countries are so casual about letting the government dictate their lives to this level. You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

And then they dare speak of freedoms and rights It genuinely boggles my mind how the simple concept of "this is a worldwide pandemic that's not only affecting one person but the literal plan as a whole" is so hard to understand.

And this is the problem. You should look into public health and why we have a societal responsibility to protect each other. By taking individual measures you could be saving someone’s life. It will always have been worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, show me where it says I need to protect Cleetus and Billie Bo because they're too afraid of getting a shot Nah, **** Cleetus and Billie Bo. I aint protecting them. i got the vaccine to stop the spread, and will continue to do so. Sadly, if we dont stop the spread, COVID can transmit to Cleetus and Billie Bo, who will then cause the virus to mutate, and make it a danger to me again.

Yeah my government telling me that i need to wear a mask because the health sector is collapsing and the virus is rampant and no one is able to contain it or control its mutations is totally authoritarian and infringing on my rights. What a horrible dictatorship we have reached! It's a literally piece of fabric on your face, not a tracking device or a sterilizing shot, enough with the drama omfg Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, those who are compromised may not even be able to get the vaccine, so letting this virus mutate and become more aggressive is nonsense. Plus, its not a guaranteed that we will be able to successfully adjust the vaccine to fight it once it mutates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What many of you guys dont understand is that this is a virus that attacks both our respiratory AND neurological system,s in our bodies. Why in the world would we want to live amongst this virus when we could easily eradicate it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutations are unpredictable and we cannot control how the virus changes. And again, thinking that everyone has access to vaccines and that everyone is getting vaccinated all over the planet at the same rate is pretty privileged and ignorant. Many still don't have access to even one dose because rich countries are hoarding their "intellectual rights" and not helping poorer countries enough. Again, this isn't 1 country's problem. If a deadly variant pops up, poorer countries will be affected, but so will the USA. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,682 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 I truly don’t understand why we can’t just work together to end this. Just do it. Nobody WANTS to live with a pandemic raging forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
