Seems like the administration should be able to say, without conflict, "we recommend this for your health and if you don't follow our recommendation then you'll be in line behind those that do follow our recommendation." It's not denial of care, it's just prioritizing those that follow health recommendations over those that don't.

This drives me totally bonkers. Forget the fact that it's extremely callous to stake out a position that says, "Meh, you lived longer than the average life span, so who gives a fuck if you die." But this is also how the average life span drops. Sure, the average lifespan is 77 now, but once you start counting all those people dying early, it's going to drop significantly.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's a good thing we saved Trump's life when he was sick to keep this average up. Isn't this an actual endorsement of Death Panels? Where's Michelle Bachman?

Our three major hospitals here just went on a collective blitz and are requiring all its workers to get vaccinated. Good. Now let's require vaccines to fly so that we can get our airports back to normal.

“ EU finds potential link between heart inflammation and mRNA COVID shots”


Is an excellent way of writing a headline to try and avoid giving any credence to the antivax crowd

Those gatherings have nothing on the people gathering outside the Bucks arena or in Montreal a week ago.

I've started wearing my masks indoors again because of this:

75% of the earth's population still haven't had their first shot.

Masks are gonna be a thing for some time.

In 35 U.S. states, COVID-19 cases are on the rise with partisan politics once again getting in the way of public health efforts.

Local hot springs says they're requiring vaccinations.

I think you could make a nuanced argument that with this place being almost entirely outdoors, that vaccine cards could be easily lost or damaged at such a place, and effectively banning children for the summer, that this might not be the wisest course of action, even though it's their right as a private business to do so.

Is that type of nuanced argument being made on its Yelp page?

Of course not--people are just losing their shit instead!
