    The fact that "we live in a society" seems like a truism until you run into people who don't understand it.https://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/1424768162780811265 …

    I get why the vulnerable would care. Their level of risk is higher and should behave accordingly. I get why social engineers and public policy folks would care, but most of you are neither. Why should you care? What risk is being imposed on you when others do this?

        A year and a half of this and people still haven't internalized "it's bad when hospitals are swamped."

        and "maybe a large segment of the population with poorly understood, potentially debilitating long-term effects from the virus isn't great"

        This person wrote an article a few years ago defending America’s support for Saudi Arabia’s genocide in Yemen.

        Isn’t this just sociopathy? Or at least an utter lack of empathy.

        I love how people talk about "people w/o comorbidities" as if it is a binary thing separating the at-risk from the safe. The idea of the weak who do not deserve to survive is right below the surface ready to come out.

        I absolutely want the anti-vaxx crowd to realize that they’re doing dangerously insane things, but I don’t want any of them or their loved ones to suffer or die for it to happen. It’s hard not to slip into that mindset when they put my loved ones at risk, but I refuse to do it.

        They understand it but feel they have the right to extract all they can only for themselves. And they don't care if lying is required to get their way.

        Surely, I do not and will never require the protection of society. The state of nature favors the internet commentator and always will.
