Compare those numbers to the numbers of unvaccinated.

Herd immunity won't be achieved until >70% are vaccinated. Thanks to idiots like you who won't get vaccinated, and spread misinformation to prevent others from vaccination, we might not reach that number.

it’s ok

i’ve been assured that misinformation on kcrim doesn’t reach a large enough swath of people to matter

[MICHHAWK]

I'm vaccinated. That's all that matters.

[Deleted User 89]

I'm vaccinated. That's all that matters.

i sincerely very glad that you are

but, that’s not all that matters. you have, i would presume, a social circle and live in a community. the status and decisions of the folks in those groups matter.

you also live in a state that is really struggling with containment and mitigation. all of those other michiganders who either haven’t or won’t get vaccinated matter...not just for themselves but for their neighbors, both close to home and far away

everyone’s decision and behavior matters if there is to be any hope getting back to something resembling pre-covid normalcy

[ousdahl]

Well I was thinking about calling mich a self-absorbed asshole as well, but you at least put it in more diplomatic terms than I

[ousdahl]

But again, I give mich credit for at least acknowledging the vaccine’s benefit, cuz he could just as easily be a lobster about it

[MICHHAWK]

I am already inching towards pre-fungus normalcy. feels good.

[MICHHAWK]

you are free to stay stuck in the mud for as long as you'd like.

[PhDhawk]

I think you're confusing,"Don't let up at the last minute, at the worst possible time" with being stuck in the mud.

What I'd like to avoid are, "I'm getting vaccinated next week, so I can do what I want" or "Grandpa got his vaccine, I don't need to."

the man = nearly every fucking epidemiologist in the country

is it really that inconvenient?

are you really that much of a baby?

[MICHHAWK]

We have done everything The Man has asked of us. We have:

Masked up
Social distanced
Stayed home
Washed our hands
Vaccinated

Now we live again.

wait, who is we?

seems many of your fellow michiganders haven’t been doing so

but whatever, continue to stomp your feet and act like a child

Mich is that guy who when he eats at a restaurant in a group and they're bringing out the food, and they set his plate down first, he's three bites in before they set the second plate down, let alone wait until everyone has their entree. The group of 4 previously ordered 8 wings and Mich ate 4 of them, because, if the other people wanted them, they should have grabbed them.

I know.

The one state that is absolutely doing the WORST right now is Michigan, and he's here ready to throw an indoor rock festival.

utah’s mask mandate expires this weekend

my boss, our site director (who just so happens to have extensive research experience with vaccine development) put out a site-wide reminder that we will be maintaining all covid protocols regardless of what the state does

employee safety for the win!

[PhDhawk]

We've made it over a year and people can't hold out the last 3-4 weeks, its fucking sad and utterly predictable.

[MICHHAWK]

I can hear it now:

"Just a little bit longer. Just until we get past the 4th of July holiday weekend."

"Just a little bit longer. Just until we get past the Labor Day holiday weekend."

"Just a little bit longer. Just until we get past the Halloween weekend."

"Just a little bit longer. Just until we get past the Thanksgiving holiday weekend."

"Just a little bit longer. Just until we get past the Christmas/New Years holiday weekend."

"January 15th 2022. I promise."

What if it is necessary?

[Walrus]

Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. You'll be wearing masks until 2030 if left to the government.
