It starts to feel academic even when friends tell you that they have actually been affected by Covid when you haven't.

But if you're saying "Well I haven't been affected so it's cool if I go to this family gathering cause it just doesn't feel real and I can't take the isolation so I'm just gpnna ignore it to make myself feel better" then that's just privilege. All you're doing is saying that feeling bad not going to Christmas is more important than the chance that your Covid dice might come up wrong. I know jwb isn't capable of realizing that **** cause he's a self absorbed prick but you should be better than that and so should WWWP.

it's not a failure to comprehend anything you are just more risk averse and less willing to take a chance than i am. and you're using that as a badge of honor cause you have nothing else to validate or provide meaning to your life other than to pat yourself on the back for being morally superior to someone who isn't even that virtuous to begin with.

"Yeah i'd have gone along with the nazis but i wouldn't work at the camps!" is batlord striving for greatness. The path of least resistance without doing anything courageous but also not doing anything extra bad. Congrats on that, boy scout.

No one is advocating for anyone else to NOT get the vaccine, I still don’t understand the outrage. I am not very likely to get it until there’s at least not an active shortage in my state ffs because 1) I am isolated where I live and work from home 4/5 days per week, 2) my work takes a ton of precautions in order to minimize risk, 3) I don’t go to the grocery stores because I’m lucky to have the option not to, etc etc the risk of me getting it is small and transferring it, even smaller, bc I don’t interact with more than a few people. Anyway all I said is that I don’t feel MY getting the vaccine is a priority or duty to anyone. Not to mention I got that supreme blood type. Simmer down.

Millions of families thinking that their gatherings weren't actually impactful got us here. Congratulations for being tougher than batlord or whatever.

Quit the inconsistent hyperdefensiveness and maybe we'll stop canceling you for being brave enough to speak facts and logic.
