I'm right there with you. When I see yet another story of a boostered NPC getting sick with the rona or getting badly injured by an obvious AE my response is to laugh.

Not in every case - there are people who were forced into it, either because they're kids unlucky enough to have lib parents, or workers given no other option.

But as for the rest? After the sheer hell they've put us all through over the last two years?

No pity. They made their choice and choices have consequences.

The "I'm grateful to have been vaxxed and boosted" mantra as they're on the way to the hospital makes it really hard for me to care how it turns out for them.

Yep. Same reaction I have to drug ODs. Were they victims of chemical warfare? Yep, same way covidians were victims of psychological warfare. That still doesn't excuse them for falling into the trap. At a certain point, if your rational brain doesn't kick in, that's on you.

Nobody was forced. I'm quite sure we'd have heard of people being chased and held down while for only injected. Like they do in Africa with Gates's shots.

All anyone had to do was wait it out. But their compliance pit more pressure on all of us.

Uh, sorry, but force is not just physical. When you threaten one's ability to provide and survive, you have forced them.

The vax mandates are still enforced at federal locations, even in red states.

So please back up just a bit and expand your vocabulary.

PS, I did not succumb, nor did I get fired. I got educated and resourceful. But I was forced to risk my family's livelihood if my employer did not follow the law. And many did not prior to my "choice".

Agreed. Many were coerced into getting the vaccine or risk losing their job and ability to provide for their family. It's not only wrong, it's evil. And I don't use that term lightly. Congratulations on staying strong. Crazy enough, many larger corporations in the US still have vaccine mandates. Pure insanity.

A local organization I sometimes support had a vax requirement to attend a lousy dinner. I told them where to stick their dinner. They could Save a step in the digestive process. Morons.

Good for you! Whenever I'm able, I am not complying and letting organizations know that vaccine requirements are flat out wrong. I interviewed for a job recently and the interviewer asked if I was fully vaccinated? I knew what she was going to say next. You will have to be fully vaccinated for this position. I laughed. I said, well, that's a deal breaker, guess we're done here. The interview was over before it really started.

I wouldn’t say I respond with laughter, but there is a certain amount of healthy schadenfreud. Many got no more than they deserve. Including a cousin who is now living with leukemia. I can’t even use the diagnosis to wake her up. So nevermind. Enjoy your pharma slavery.

It's the fact that they continue doubling down that makes it impossible for me to feel sorry for them.

Yeah I can get that. Hypocrisy is my kryptonite. So if you rant on and on about protecting others and then want to deny healthcare to the unvaxxed, you’ve lost credibility and my sympathy forever. I have a memory like an elephant and paternal trauma that makes me less than forgiving.
