@ghostbeer2522 to start, it is questionable if this virus is really that dangerous to where we should have acted the way we did and continue to act. To me, by May 2020 this should have all ended as it was clear the virus was never that dangerous. But we kept being jerked around. Gyms were told to close but we can gather in a WalMart? Along with that, when many of our leaders pushing these covid protocols violated them, it made people made. Seeing Newsom enjoy an expensive dinner while telling people to stay home does not sit well for people.
"If so, it's very disappointing to know that people are putting their sensitivities about being asked to do stuff ahead of the health and safety of their fellow Americans."
This has made people man. Consider how substance abuse spiked and you never heard concerns about that. Consider the psychological damaged done by the lockdowns and covid restrictions. Few talked about that. Same with the economic damage. The only talk was about the virus. When other people's concerns are ignored for years, why would you expect them to listen to your concerns? Did you care that I had to go to detox twice and the ER for my increase in drinking due to the lockdowns?
"It's also important to point out that the passports and booster shots are the response to people not getting vaccinated (both here as well as globally due to the vaccine not being available everywhere), resulting in more dangerous variants, not some attempt to piss people off."
What about people who have long term immunity after infection? Why should they get it? Also, at this point it is this. If you are vaccinated you are fine. Those who are not are willing to place themselves at risk. So why do you care if you are vaccinated?
"I've simply been keeping up with the data and the findings within the scientific community, none of this is my opinion or some opinion from political pundits that I've co-opted for my own. "
What science? It is complex. There is hard evidence of long term immunity after infection. Why no talk about that? Or the objective evidence that almost all who have died with covid would be dead in the same timeframe anyways. Why no talk about that?
And what about other sciences such as psychological concerns? Social sciences? Political science? Or even economic issue. They are all connected. Just focusing on the virus while ignore the spike in depression and substance abuse. Or ignoring the fact we are giving government a lot of unchecked power. Or ignoring the fact the economy is destroyed. Or ignoring the fact we are now divided as a nation is causing way more damage than the virus.
"Listen, I'm also tired of being jerked around, by people who refuse to acknowledge that a solution to this crisis exists and is free and easy to get."
The solution as to flatten the curve. A vaccine was never guaranteed. The fact the "solution" keeps changing is alarming. At this point do you really feel we can just submit our way out of this? From the beginning it was stay home, shut down businesses, schools, churches, gyms, etc. Now it is wear masks, don't wear masks, wear two masks even after vaccination. Now it is wear masks while taking booster shots.
If you think this vaccine ends it this is where you need to study history and political science.
" Herd immunity, as some have suggested, would have likely resulted in the deaths of about 3 million Americans, at the current death rate of COVID 19. Not my opinion here either btw, just simple math"
It goes beyond that. There is a paper showing herd immunity could have been at a lower percent, and a good portion of people were already immune.
It is entitled
"Covid-19: Do many people have pre-existing immunity?"
In BMJ
"Lastly, I do realize that people don't respond well when pushed too hard to do things, but it's one of our society's biggest weaknesses, not something we should be proud of"
I disagree. People just blindly follow what others say is foolish. Have you never question the motive to get people vaccinated who are immune due to infection?
This pandemic ends when us, as a society, throw down our masks and give the powers to be the finger. If you think getting people vaccinated will end this you are foolish. The powers to be have way too much to gain with all of this now. They don't want it to end. Pharm companies are making bank. Politicians are using it as a distraction. Media is as well and for more views for money.
