I'm not telling you what you should think, you have said what you think.

I'm questioning the morality of your actions, and you have answered.

The problem with your actions is that YOU aren't giving those who you could potentially expose to a deadly virus, any say. You want all the power and none of the repercussions.

At least you recognize yourself as being selfish. It might be a first step.

Correction. YOU are going to be masking and social distancing forever. I’m done. You want to sit inside and destroy your immune system then by all means do it. I have been vaccinated and have been going out and living my life for months even before that. We have to learn to live with this thing. People in pre-antibiotic and pre-vaccination days lived with much worse. This is nothing compared to that.

So in reality, YOU could pass along a "deadly" virus (even the flu is very deadly to some people) EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Really, it's immoral for you to even leave your house and interact with people. You COULD be killing someone.

And actually, your chances of killing someone with your car are much higher than any virus. You really should sell your car and not drive motor vehicles any longer.

It's immoral.

If you want your freedom, you are going to have to stand up for it, insist on it, and in some cases, to fight for it.
Needed to be repeated.

But those people have the option to stay home, get vaccinated or wear a mask and stay away from people. We can’t live are lives in fear and destroy our freedoms for people who won’t do something to protect themselves when they have opportunity to do so.

What happens in other parts of the world will affect us.
The fact that you used "strains" instead of "variants" demonstrates that you don't even understand the basics of what you're talking about.

I'm no virologist, but at least I put in some effort to understand this stuff. From what I've seen, the fear crowd... doesn't. I've only rarely seen any indication whatsoever that anyone on "that side" (the side of ignorance, dependence, fear and authoritarianism) even bothers to pick up a dictionary, much less delve deeper to understand the concepts at play.

Keep being afraid. Those of us who got past it have stopped living in fear, are much happier than those who cower at home and - surprise - aren't dying off in droves.

At some point, you WILL realize that you've been played. The only question is, will it be before or after it's too late?

Question.

Don't you see your view as selfish? Uncaring for others?

I know, I see it the way.
Because you've been conditioned to see it that way.

Two years ago, you didn't give a flying F about walking around maskless, potentially infecting people with that year's influenza variant, tuberculosis or any other respiratory bug. Never even crossed your mind.

How selfish.

ETA: And no, it's not selfish for a healthy person to not act like a sick person. It's insane to expect them to.

No they won't, you're basing decisions on irrational fear. CDC has already updated their mask guidance once based on vaccinations, and will likely update it again soon removing mask recommendations for most outdoor activities. States are doing the same, either loosening or planning to loosen covid guidelines as vaccination totals increase and cases start to level off and drop.

You saying "you're done" when entire country is almost rounding the corner sounds like Veruca Salt's famously impatient I want an oompa loompa nooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.

These posts you're making won't age well, bookmarked for future giggling over your fear-mongering predictions.

1.5 million died in 2019 during the TB pandemic, remember how business were ordered closed, we were told wear masks and stay 6ft apart?


Yeah me neither.
