    Some of the response to this tweet (i.e. "Let them die!") has been disheartening. We live in a society folks and vaccine hesitancy hurts us all.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1417505062813900801 …

    This is a good column! Has a smart proposal ($1000 to get vaccinated). It's a tragedy that vaccination has become a partisan divide in USA (for which Trump/Fox deserve blame). But priority now is to de-partisanize it and see it in larger dimension. https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1417502782387593217 …

        Every unvaccinated person who gets the Delta variant becomes a breeding ground for something even worse. Everybody needs to get vaccinated. Full stop.

        Except in states that implemented some form of incentive or even lottery, they had an uptick in vaccination rate. What do you propose then?

        Actually, we live on a revolving planet we humans, animals, fish and plants. We humans are a destructive lot, thinking we are superior to all. One replicating/evolving virus could end our superiority permanently. Vaccinate for your childrens' future, if not yours.

        Well…..when a truly vaccine-hesitant person dies, ok I’m with you. But the word “hesitant” simply doesn’t apply to the majority of the unvaccinated. And certainly when a known Covid denier & anti-vaxxer who spread lies abt the vaccine dies of Covid, yes, let them die.

        One great casualty of the handling of the pandemic has been the general capacity to care. I feel it in myself. It eroded slowly, and it's barely trickling back.

        This is so infuriating. Last fall I remember thinking that these people who refuse to wear masks don't want to live in society. They don't give a shit. And yet here we are with the people who are thinking of others getting scolded that "we live in a society". Endless gaslighting.

        Letting a disinformed & recalcitrant community create a reservoir of infection and new mutant strains that can come back and sicken us is - a perfect model of the human impulse to punish.
