Like ok....no shit people are dying. This was completely expected. We knew this wasn't over when the CDC said it was. We knew there would be variants as long as the vast majority of the planet was unvaccinated.
But in the US specifically, I'm having a hard time caring. My friends and I are all vaccinated. Even if we got sick we know that 95% of the people going to the hospital are unvaxxed. We know that 99% of the people dying are unvaxxed. And we know that most of the 1% of breakthrough deaths are in the elderly.
It fucking blows that we're so collectively stunted as a nation that we can't convince people to get vaccinated, but you reap what you sow. Apart from knocking doors to get people vaccinated there's nothing I can do about it.
As always, American stupidity hurts the vulnerable. If you have an existing condition, if you're elderly, hell maybe your hospital is just overrun and you can't have a normal procedure. But America isn't shutting down and people aren't putting their masks back on. Even if we did and cases went down, that would only serve to demotivate the unvaxxed further. Theres one way out of this and its letting the fire burn until there isn't any kindling left.
"you reap what you sow" okay but no, we reap individually what the ruling class, corporations, and the media have sown.
I don't want my grandma to die of covid because she lives in an assisted living facility in florida. I don't want my immunocompromised family members to die because they got coughed on by chuds. I don't want my nieces to get saddled with long-term health problems because the delta variant is ripping through their elementary school and they can't get vaxxed.
Well thats what I'm talking about. We're a country that worships capital. This is the result. I feel sympathy for all of the needless death and suffering. But this is just reality. I cant do anything except get vaccinated and wear a mask.
