people are acting like they care about children totally ignoring all of them damage that has been caused to children since last march locking them down.
100 is more than we should have but it's actually a higher number than that. You obviously don't have kids nor do you care about them getting this. It's very hard for parents. They want their kids to go to school but they also want them to be safe.

Then the parent can order some hazmat suits.

For a human, sacrificing freedom to obtain security is no life at all.

Look at the breakdown from the CDC on deaths

5% died of covid only
95% had pre-existing conditions and also had covid
80% of that 90% were overweight/obese

you go ahead and draw conclusions as to why this virus has serious effects on some and not others.

I’m not drawing conclusions at all. None of us can.

Not getting vaccinated is like playing Russian Roulette. Life is too short as it is to be gambling with your life.

Political concentration camps are going to be in America’s near future. This is what all leftist regimes do to suppress dissenting views.

The Rona has been used as a tool to attack capitalism, personal liberties and the constitution since it all started. The media is hyping up the big bad delta variant so they can have another round of draconian lockdowns. Within a month or two the northern US will be a masked lockdown zone yet again while the south will again stand in defiance to it all. The rona has been a wonderful gift to every leftist control loving, freedom hating individual.

All we can do is refuse to comply, refuse to legitimize what they are doing and if we are lucky enough to live in a red state pressure our state officials to resist the demands of these people to put coronavirus restrictions in place. Let’s ignore their drumbeat against freedom.

It's tough when you live in a Northern state though. This has always been worse in NY. MA. and CA. I didn't believe conspiracy theorists and considered myself liberal but watching freedoms lost on a daily basis has made me rethink what is being lost here and why.

What a ridiculous analogy. Not even close. With a 6 chamber gun, your likelihood of dying in Russian Roulette is 1/6. In absolute terms, your likelihood of dying of covid is .018%.

So all the unvaccinated kids, who are not approved for the vaccine are playing Russian roulette?

Liberals really need to stop it.

I remember back in the days of the Iraq war, many against all that it brought loved quoting "those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither" and yet here we are. In NJ where I live mask wearing is on the rise. I have even seen quite a few gloved individuals after a brief hiatus. It's these empty cans that are loudly rattling off the fear the lighted box tells them to fear which will put pressure on politicians to decide what is safe for us. Disgusting.
