This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

because there is zero reason to have been unvaccinated by DBCooper

by the summer (outside the few who cant get vaccinated that have been described here before). Yes, its great they Finally are getting vaccinated, but if they had done so in the spring the delta variant would not have as many hosts to invade and you wouldnt see the large amount of cases, hospitalizations, and soon deaths, we are seeing now. Which is therefore causing various governments to start a new wave of restrictions and mandates which thus creates the "headache" for the vaccinated people.

They are taking the steps to help reduce the headache now, sure, but alot of the damage we are dealing with now is already done. And alot of these procrastinators (if that is their excuse) are too late to the party as we have seen many asking for the vaccine while in the hospital from covid. That too little too late attitude not just affects them personally, but affects their families, the doctors and nurses who have to deal with them as patients, and eventually vaccinated people as well (though clearly not at the level of the first two groups).
