(113,131 posts)Sadly, halfwits who blindly follow ranting morons will always be with us. Our only recourse is to outvote them and generally kick them aside so we can proceed with adult behavior. Regarding Covid, they're their own worst enemies and most likely represent the 1.5% of hospitalized patients with it here in NM (we had a high vax rate). I had the original disease and it was nasty. So yeah, antivax hosers are on their own now that the vaccine costs money most of them don't have.
So save your anger, that only makes them feel righteous. Pity them for their stupidity, it's a much harder thing to deal with.
I am so sorry cancer has claimed so much of your family. I'm especially sorry the ACA left insurance companies as gatekeepers, they do a very bad job of what they're supposed to do. Direct your anger at Republicans and "fiscal conservative" Democrats and vote to replace them with the real thing. Maybe then we'll get what the rest of the developed world takes for granted.
