I think that some people deserve special privileges, but there are others who are just angry and self-involved. Makes me appreciate this quote:

“I started learning how to not be so angry about things, learning how to count my f—ing blessings instead. By doing that, I’ve become a happier person, instead of all this self-loathing I was doing for a while.” – Eminem

You can have righteous indignation that is not self-loathing.

Here's another song reference:

"Get up, stand up.
Stand up for your rights.
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight."

Sung by Bob Marley

The mandate ended in the beginning of the summer because the governor of Utah pointed out to Biden there was no incentive to get vaccinated since vaccinated people still had to wear masks.

So according to your logic the government officials are stupid because they are making the same mistake a second time of putting mask mandates in place that disincentivize vaccination. Maybe the governor of Utah needs to remind them again as they have lost all common sense.

I guess for some people not dying isn’t a good enough reason.

Reminds me of a song. https://youtu.be/8L6KGuTr9TI

NPR had an article today that reinforced what I was thinking in an earlier post. That there has been a lot of effort to emphasize the risk of being unvaccinated, but the information on breakthroughs is insufficient. I actually consider it a failure of the institutions who track data to help with decisions among us vaccinated folk.

The article is called, "I got a mild breakthrough case. Here's what I wish I'd known." The article explains how the delta variant has changed the ballgame for breakthrough infections, and that the risk of symptomatic infection seems higher than common media information. One of the academic experts called our data analysis "shoddy", and much of what we know comes from other countries. They do say that the risk of being sent to the hospital is very rare, but the gaps in formation is a little disturbing.

I read the article and I am willing to risk a case like the author had rather than wear a mask the rest of my life.

It should be my choice.

Some people would rather risk death than let the government tell them what to do.

Reminds me of a saying - "Today is a good day to die."

And another one - "Give me liberty or give me death."

Or "Live free or die."

[ApatheticNoMore]

And yet they probably let their boss tell them what to do all day long. I call such people ridiculous fools.

I mean I understand feeling suicidal "today is a good day to die", I don't think people with suicide ideation are ridiculous fools. I think they are suffering, that is all.

[Yppej]

I wouldn't call either Crazy Horse or Low Dog suicidal.

And you are going to appropriate that for "white people whine about masks"

Good quote...

The context is anti-vaxers not wanting to get the shot, not anti-maskers.
