And I have seen some really, really stupid anti-vax shit out there. I'm sure we all have. If I'm not allowed to laugh at that, what is it for?
Getting pissed at the people who are by and large creating the biggest and completely avoidable strain on our health system is pretty natural, I think. It still pisses me off, but condemnation isn't going to change any minds, and I don't feel any righteousness from unvaccinated infection horror stories. I just want everybody to be able to ride this shitstorm out.
That's separate from the fact that a lot of the anti-vaxx nonsense is absolutely hilarious. I mean c'mon, it just is. It's about as humorous as my apparent incompetence with terlets, and I'm not about to take some kind of half-assed "life choice" moral stance on my stupidity there, unnecessary ignorance is always funny.
I think this captures my sentiment most closely. Yeah I started this thread with a snarky quote but it is certainly no worse than what is said of Hillary and Biden as examples. Not clear to me why some things are flagged as out of bounds.
I certainly don’t want to alienate anyone so that is a fair comment.
The differences between this and the political stuff with Hillary and President Uncle Joe are pretty clear.
As much as we joke about politics being a blood sport, it isn’t. It’s important, yes, but most people’s lives and long term health aren’t really affected too much by the results.
People’s livelihoods aren’t generally being threatened based on their Voter Registration status. They aren’t being denied entry to concerts because they are registered independent or didn’t participate in the last election.
If I’m not a positive influence on one person and their vote… Oh well. If I’m a negative influence on somebody’s decision regarding vaccination, it could affect countless others.
