That LTC has no place in the military. Glad he resigned.

Ahh I just read it differently, I have loads of family who did their 20, some longer. Only one made it to full colonel. I'm glad you weren't meaning it the way I read it. I know you're better than that.. FWIW, I made it to full bird Popcorn Kernal with the local scout troop hahahaha. Pop told me to avoid the military life unless we really were under attack. He did well for most of his and really well afterward. Anyway, cheers Harry ;-)

It's cult level mass hysteria. I'm really thinking it's best to let that free market they worship (and Darwin) sort this shit out. And ya, really does look like asshat LTC will not be getting that TriCAre free Medicare without getting vaxed first now.. All that posturing and he loses.. LOSER fo sho!

That might be your conclusion
But you are a known pendejo with proven challenges in reading comprehension (vibes BTW)
I don’t see where anyone else arrived at your dumbass consensus

I have a suggestion. As a society we are mandating "herd immunity". You can get the vaccine or you will be given Covid. If you chose Covid, go home with your symptoms, as that was your choice and no hospital will admit you unless you're paying cash.

My family had a dog who would gnaw the corners off furniture and pull at carpet when she got bored. She knew it was wrong but craved attention even if it was negative. We started walking her more and she stopped being an asshole. I hope skidog finds someone to walk him.

Toss the airplane, put 'im on the T'mill.

I'm not digging through this entire thread, but you shitheads quickly forget. Plenty of posters have said people like KQs friend took their own chances.

I am not of the belief at all, time too look deep inside shitheads.

This thread has had people regularly posting about good friends or loved family members trapped in this weird ass antivax cult, and the response here has been generally empathetic.

Plenty of posters here would say it’s her fault for being higher risk of covid and that this has little to do with vaccines. She shoulda just not had risk factors and exercised more, ate better, etc

Why didn’t an elderly, high risk person have the vaccine? You guys salivate at the possibility of someone you don’t like that’s unvaccinated getting Covid; what gives here?

Either you are intentionally misreading things for your own “gain” or you are too stupid to understand what people are clearly saying. That’s what gives.

Why don’t you call someone “a fucking retard” again when they get something right and you get it 100% wrong. I’ll admit that was fun to watch you make a complete asshat of yourself.

Yep, here I was thinking should I say "sorry KQ, hope your friend recovers" or let someone closer post that message?

As for the anticrowd suffering for their ignorance, that is happening regardless of my feelings. I'm also suffering for their ignorance, both directly through increased risk of infection and activity restrictions, and indirectly through wasted care resources, and reduced economic capacity when the sick fail to return to work. So I prefer everyone find a way to not get sick.

It also angers me that we coddle these morans. Pull up your sleeve and get your participation shots already. $30 for shots, $3000 for Regeneron, $130k for hospital. The most effective treatment by far is the cheapest by far. It's a freaking miracle. Stop wasting resources. Pass laws with teeth until vax is 98%.

Shots are free.

Yeah, I meant the cost to society. I think the cocktail and hospital is "free" too. Our taxes are paying for all those things. It probably gets accounted as GDP, since we produced healthcare. But it's wasted activity that would better be spent fixing someone's heart, cancer, or broken leg. Or building something useful.

So much easier for them to blame someone foreign than to look at their own failings and recognize their own roles in this situation.

Kinda like Texas and Florida when their “everything is great!” arguments fall flat - step 2 is to then say “well ok we are not great - but we are not great because of immigrants”

They blamed the Jews for Typhoid before giving them passports and then stars.

You all are assuming facts not in evidence.

I do not know if she was vaxxed or not. I have not asked her directly. It was a mutual friend who told me it was none of my business. That friend is the anti-vaxxer.

Seems impolite and not helpful to ask her at this point. What's done is done.

I have a weird mix of feeling the personal tragedy of these people and hoping they get better and the deep sadness for it all, and also throwing my hands up in frustration with thoughts like “I told you so” and natural selection.

I feel both ways at the exact same time.

Really it’s like, the frustration of the “well that’s what you get” kind of sentiment is a response to the hurt you feel for actually caring and feeling like that hurt shouldn’t have happened because these unvaccinated cases are such an avoidable own-goal.

Pedejo might be slightly worse than pendejo. Lol

We should disdain the liars more than the lied to.

But my empathy for the lied to gets worn away with time - adults should know better than to trust facebook/fox news/Breitbart or Rush Limbaugh//Joe Rogan/Alex Jones for their advice on health care. Fuck yeah don’t go to CNN or Rachel Maddow either.

Even if you are “doing your own research” at this point - 1.5 years into this - it should be clear that vaccination of the masses is the most important step (of many) to getting through this. And the advantages to yourself are clear - both for your own health and the health of your friends and family you come into contact with.
