We're Supposed To Be The CLEVER Country!?!???

[waitingman]

Never let it be said I won't criticise my own country...



This is the face... okay faces of wilful stupidity. Ignorant obstinacy. Misinformed belligerence - insert your own adjective & noun combination here...

Whose human rights are being 'attacked'? Easy - the vast majority doing the sensible thing & minimising their travel & contact with others, to deny the Delta variant's opportunity to spread. Whose job is under threat? Also easy - the medical & emergency service workers who have seen & know first-hand what this virus can do & will have to deal with the results of your stupidity when the case numbers go up again in a few days, thanks to this...

Who's being 'controlled' by 'communism'? Easy - the under-educated mass who blindly follow what they're told by people who have no qualifications in medicine, sociology, logistics & apparently political science, let alone history. A communist state would never allow such a protest to take place for starters...

Scenes like this do make me think we need a kind of purge though. But Stalin & Pol Pot had it wrong - instead of weeding out the educated & intelligentsia & executing them, I think we need to go the opposite way

Unmasked, Untested, Unvaxxed & Unafraid? Okay, you're also completely Unnecessary for the progress & betterment of society...

It seems as though people like this are weeding themselves out. Delta is wiping out the unvaccinated.

Trouble is, for every one story I see about someone who was vehemently anti-vax, or a Covid-hoaxer dying in a hospital, there are far too many other stories about idiots like these out & about...

We all know the vaccines were a bit of a rush-job & aren't perfect, but neither is the 'flu vaccine we get every year & I don't see the Great Unwashed up in arms about that!?

[anais_pf]

I know. It's sad and it's infuriating. Because of the delta variant and all the idiots, I am still hiding out at home most of the time and wearing a mask when I go to the store and I worry a little that I will have gone through all of this and gotten vaccinated and still end up getting Covid.

If you're fully vaccinated - 2 shots - then your odds are pretty good of either avoiding it, or at least having a much easier time with it...

[anais_pf]

Oh, I know, but good odds are no guarantee, and I can afford to avoid people for now. I am 65 and I intend to live a much longer and healthy life. I'm really annoyed with the whole anti-vaxxer thing.

Someone pay for this kind of protests?

[waitingman]

Yes - the elderly will pay with their lives

And the rest of us will pay with our livelihoods, as the lockdowns will have to stay in place even longer because of idiots like this...
