How are you a teacher and act like this?? Aren’t y’all supposed to be molding the future generations of this country? Yet you’re over here being selfish af messy as hell 

I can set aside my personal views on the pandemic for the betterment of my kiddos. I may be selfish and messy as hell, but I take my job as a teacher seriously.

I'd lie if I say that I don't find wearing masks annoying af, but hey, at least we're alive (partly thanks to masks lol)

Complaining about wearing masks and not wearing masks are two different things (the former is irritating and useless and the latter is dangerous and disrespectful af)

also we're gonna have to deal with it because I'm starting to believe it'll be part of our lives for AT LEAST the next decade so well

I know we’ve been arguing this entire thread but this is  commendable.

Thank you. I teach in a school with a very high risk population, so they need as many "guiding lights" as possible in their life

So, everyone is coming for HuffsAhoy but the point is valid, in my opinion. The unvaccinated are going to dangerous levels to stay unvaccinated. Faking reports, even getting positive Covid tests and going to work. 
 

It is selfish, and they clearly know and agree with it. 

At the end of the day, in America, where the vaccine is free at literally Walmart, the majority of unvaccinated is because they choose it. Not because of a health condition. The people with health conditions are taking proper precautions. 
 

I wear my mask because I don’t want to catch Covid, or give to anyone I care about. Personally, I think the unvaccinated should be turned away from the hospitals, because healthcare workers are legit drowning and it’s for nothing. For ignorance. 
 

If we don’t address the unvaccinated, we are going to continue down this path, and nothing is going to change. Overworked healthcare workers that already work for a ****ed system 😅 

I personally think segregation would be amazing. Not to be that person, but the south is where the majority of unvaccinated people are anyway 😅 Just start the process, what’s the worst that can happen? If nothing matters to them, they should be fine, and if the vaccines work, we should be fine. 
 

Instead we are holding out for the hope of unity and scheiße. Giving people options hasn’t gotten us anywhere in any of it. Triple vaxxed people being over the mass ignorance and utter lack of care from those people is understandable. It’s exhausting thinking about the greater good when the majority of the population is as about as competent as a bag of potatoes  

 

if a fully vaccinated person wants to take a risk, let them

Yes, I think having to wear a mask despite being triple vaxxed is asinine. I'm just tired of being lied to by the "experts". Every other month or week, they're reversing course on their guidance and I (and many others) am tired of the inconsistency. 

But that's how science works. That's always been the case. Things change and develop and go in ways we cannot predict all the time. The experts can only respond to the new information that they receive. Sometimes, that information doesn't always stick, sometimes things change. I really don't get why that's such a difficult concept to understand.
