This is black and white thinking which is wrong but also, most importantly to me, boring!Originally Posted by Yppej
If you will accept any nuances in mask science, you have to accept that some masks stop some particles when worn by some people some of the time.
Note all those qualifers “some.”
I agree somewhat, say, 50%. Shutting down the economy for those who are not vaccinated particularly those who choose not to be vaccinated is dumb at this point. small Sacrifices such as appropriate mask wearing and avoiding large crowds seem reasonable to me, although certainly the “large crowds” thing can be part of the economy such as airplane travel, concerts, etc.
I think it is cavalier to expect everyone to turn their lives upside down forever (because covid will never disappear) because some people choose not to get vaccines and because some people have weakened immune systems that any germ like the seasonal flu could do in. Yeah, let's just shut down the economy - if you're suffering financially sucks to be you - because my rights trump your rights and I can't work anyways due to my medical conditions so it doesn't impact me.
Definitely cavalier.
People who are especially vulnerable to this virus need to take care of themselves. They have that responsibility to themselves. I don’t see that society at this point in the virus game needs to coddle them.
