    I hate to say this, but depending on how you look at it this might actually be better for America as a whole since it’ll reduce the number of republican voters.

      And yet it’s never that straightforward. The more people who are infected provides more opportunities for virus mutations, endlessly prolonging this pandemic for all of us.

      Yeah…. But that’s not how public health works. These idiots aren’t just killing themselves, they’re killing our immunocompromised, elderly, etc.

    And the Floridians who trust these people will not get vaccinated. What a dereliction of duty. Once again, Republicans demonstrate they have no shame.

    A fascist and a quack walk into a bar… everyone stands up, forms a line and punches them.

    Another person walks into the same bar and asks “what’s the line for?”. Then someone replies “thats the punch-line”.

    This is bad and unsettling but let’s face it the rest of the world isn’t significantly better. Vaccines won’t solve the pandemic when hardly anyone wears masks, workplace accommodations slowly disappear and mass events gather thousands like it’s 2019 again. If we brand public acting against anti-covid measures as tinfoil hat grifting (and rightly so) we should hold anti-WFH preachers to the same standard as well as any large-audience event which does not mandate masks. But we won’t because burning man bullshit, disneyland, crowded restaurants and random conventions are more important than a passing thought about (as one poster mentioned here) elderly and immunocompromised.
