Parents saner than themselves...Did you catch the part where one of the most vocal and visible antivax activists at the time had been vaccinated for smallpox?
No. He'd been vaccinated not as a child by his parents, but at age 53, during a smallpox epidemic in which he'd been arguing against vaccination!Parents saner than themselves...
Well...
Because of literal technical difficulties, we won’t be following through on our holiday food distribution plan.
That's even crummier. Take care of yourself, dude!I was just in his office 2 days ago, so I may be following suit, even though I wasn’t anywhere near the employee in question.
Wow that is funny levels of hypocrisy indeed.No. He'd been vaccinated not as a child by his parents, but at age 53, during a smallpox epidemic in which he'd been arguing against vaccination!

It seems like most of the people here in the United States just got tired of it and simply decided the pandemic was over.
Except it isn't over. The virus doesn't care about how bored or frustrated you are with it. It doesn't care about how many weeks you've had to spend indoors with your children, and it doesn't care about the economy or the election either. It's still out there, still spreading, still killing people, and we still don't have a vaccine....and grown adults are acting like petulant children over the bare minimum precautions like "stay home" and "wear a mask."
This is the inherent problem with the fact modern medicine has managed to make serious aerosol spread illnesses virtually a thing of the past for more than half a century (and you can argue a century); there's no cultural understanding of what an epidemic really means, and how seriously you need to take it.
