Unfortunately the dumb usually survive, and the vulnerable die.
This is the hard truth. Folks like RFK Jr can afford to isolate and live comfortably. People in the service sector, people with landlords aggressively hiking rents, people with student and medical and cost-of-living debts, people with aging relatives and young kids to support - they don't have a choice. They show up to work, suffer the risks of exposure, and carry it back home to vulnerable family members.
So nothing changes, this is America don't get caught slipping.
No, we need herd immunity
It's too late for herd immunity, the general population forgot how it was before vaccines and it is just triage at this point.
I’d be fine with that, but those degenerates have kids that they won’t vaccinate. That sucks for everyone.
Doctors and nurses worried they will have to grow a spine and do things the ways their forbears did in order to help their patients. Precious few of mine, or my wife and kids' doctors, have been interested in doing any more than the bare minimum they could, both to stay out of trouble, and moreso to keep from getting in trouble(mostly, having to expend any effort to ensure insurance paid them).
It sucks that last bit goes with the job description, but this "the system mostly works"-state we've been in for decades was both a fluke and a lie, where healthcare is concerned .
Medical providers job is to make money so that's what they will always do and the policy is written in such way that they have to.
Blind faith in them is misplaced. Treat them like any other merchant.
Scant few providers I have met view the job like that. What you are describing is what MBAs in healthcare THINK is the sole reason for providers existing.
Hey now, America just had an election to decide whether vaccines work and they decided that they don't. Respect democracy!
I hope he doesn't mess with the essential vaccines. What I'm hoping for is him getting rid of all the dyes we have in our foods that add nothing but harm.
