      This has been the right way to think of things for over a year. Rising case numbers can be a warning, but infections are not the problem. Sickness & death are the problem.https://twitter.com/PhilipWegmann/status/1435238903460544522 …

      If you are thinking only about convincing anti-vax resisters & hesitaters to get the vaccine, you're missing the other half of the problem: convincing the COVID Doomers that it's safe to return to normal life. We need more of both before we can finally return to the Before life.

      I mean, how are you ever going to get people with this mindset to return to normal life without masks, social distancing, etc? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/us/masks-professor-student-delta.html …pic.twitter.com/H4We2cLcaK

          How is this a problem? The problem is you can't trust your fellow citizens to do the right thing and get vaccinated

          Luckily this guy is apart of the Covid freak out minority at my university. Most of the other professors don’t seem to care too much, nor is the school going overboard with it.

          One set of people annoy you. The other set of people are a public health menace. Not the same thing.

          I have no idea how someone wearing a mask, distancing, or washing their hands affects me in the negative. But the anti-maskers cursing me, threatening me with harm, and spitting on me do have negative consequences.

          And as a bonus, no hope of any return to normal will also provide further disincentive to vax-hesitant.

          Life with masks and social distancing is not a burden or a problem.
