It's OK to blame the unvaccinated — they are robbing the rest of us of our freedoms

Don’t have to tell me twice, I’ve been blaming them for awhile now. Nothing wrong with proper assignment of blame, how else can anyone expect to fix anything otherwise?

Same, society shouldn't have to cater to the willfully ignorant and dangerous science deniers. We are now talking about the public in general needlessly at increased risk because yes, populations with low vaccination numbers do indeed spread the virus faster causing more frequent mutation and in turn, a greater risk of vaccine-resistant variants. Not to mention a crippling of healthcare systems. People who reject and have contempt for expertise and proven facts because they themselves don't understand (and/or don't want to) should never be coddled at the expense of public health.

And any politician or person in a place of power encouraging this distrust and flat out rejection of science and facts for votes is a fucking criminal.

Exactly! Don't believe in science enough to get a simple vaccine? Then you sure as hell don't get to go to a hospital and rely on SCIENCE to save you. Keep your ass at home and pray or whatever instead.

science deniers

you realize science is not a religion or some divine monolith right

science can and SHOULD be questioned

especially with a rushed vaccine that has already proven to be ineffective
