Maybe it's fine for you guys that the a part of the population get eliminated because they are not strong enough against a disaster and "they are going to die anyway"...

But no, thank you. That's not the place/mindset I'd like to live in.

Good luck, and stay safe.

Edit.

Just think of it.

Say Bob is a programmer so addicted to coding. He code and code, day and night, ignored necessary exercises, skipping meals, drinking too much soda. And then omicron hit and he didn't make it.

"He deserves it" you say? Why should not him get another chance to pull out of the rushing sessions and get better at taking care of himself?



Here's the alternative:

- Forced vaccinations/vax passes

- Children vaccinated

- Boosters forever

- Mask mandates forever

- Social distancing forever

That's not a place/mindset I'd like to live in.


Vaccinations don't have to be forced. I wasn't forced to get mine, I got it because I'm not an idiot.

Children are vaccinated all over the world every day for multiple different diseases.

Are boosters required for ever? What's your research on this? Where did you get your time machine?

Again the use of forever, masks and social distancing become nice to have options for people but after vaccination these are guidelines rather than mandates.
