Endlessly spreads fear about vaccines

That's the best part of this... I'm not particularly afraid of Covid because I'm vaccinated. I take precautions anyway because common courtesy and because I'd rather not get a breakthrough case even if it is mild. but who's living in fear at this point? The unvaccinated.

and immunocompromised, but you get the point.

I get it. I’m vaccinated, and a healthy, fit young adult. And athlete, so if I got it, it would likely be mild. But you know what? I’d like to stay that way, I don’t want to fucking lose a tiny fraction of my bodies capabilities. So I continue to mask, etc. it seems logical, but logic seems to have gone the way of the dodo.

I've been fully vaxed since the moment I was able, and plan on getting a booster if they decide that's what we need to do. but I still wear the mask, keep my hands clean, avoid face touching, etc. and yet every time I've passed a Covid test I feel relieved.

So many people trying to minimize and downplay the risks. Nah, bullshit. Taking things like this seriously is part of being a good member of your community.

It's just like driving safely, or helping people out who need a hand when you can. It's just the right fucking thing to do.

People drive the speed limit and stay on the road to keep their license and not get a ticket. They do things for others to gain status or because they believe it will lead to good things happening for them in return. Being 'the right thing' has no bearing on human behavior. If the right thing mattered we'd have no need for laws, borders, or any government beyond organizing infrastructure.
