That's the big question

So all the college students and other idiots who you know aren't social distancing. Then someone pointed out that we might keep them all from developing symptoms, but we don't know that we'd keep them from carrying. I really hope there's people who know what they're doing in charge by the time we start giving it out. -- Drew

The anti-mask crowd. You want to protect idiots first? No. Just no. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

If such were the case, you'd have an argument. As it is, all we know is that by vaccinating an idiot you'd be protecting an idiot whilst consuming a dose that's in terribly short supply. So, again, no. Just NO. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

We Know this, by now. The Mofos-in-Charege 'Live' via premeditated destruction of Language-itself. Hence perhaps this mini-thread? I no magick for telling-the-Difference (either) ..since common-sense has become an embattled brain-sense.
