The D Quuuuuill

before anyone says “those solar panels didn’t work very well” THAT’S NOT THE FUCKING POINT. they represented a commitment to invest in the technology. the presidency is the bully pulpit. a person can change a lot about the direction of the country there without making meaningful change in the moment. Grant and Carter are probably the two presidents who tried the hardest to do something positive with that power

Vaccination is a major component of community health measures. If someone doesn’t want to participate in community health measures, they are a risk to communities. Without vaccination, the only way an unvaccinated person can keep from putting the community at risk is to increase social distancing to a degree that would disallow them to spread diseases to immunocompromised people within the community. During an epidemic or pandemic, with no vaccine, and with other measures in place like masking, testing, and contact tracing, a social distancing policy of 6 ft can keep a disease from spreading rampantly. However, we are not currently mass masking, testing, or contact tracing mostly trusting people to be and act safe.

But you’ve decided to opt out of community health measures. You’ve decided to lone wolf it because it’s, as you put it, a strictly personal choice. This means that you don’t have to participate in community health measures, but it also means that if you come closer than 15 feet to people who are engaged in community health measures, you are raising their risk of unknowingly spreading something to someone immunocompromised. If we were to not engage in community health measures, we would need to increase the spacing from 6 ft to 15 ft to prevent devestating health risks.

So since you’ve chosen this for yourself, I assume you’re taking these measures? Or are you being a typical selfish antivaxxer who wants to receive the benefits of community health measures without doing anything to participate in making them work?

strictly personal

Oh, so I assume you’ve self isolated yourself entirely and aren’t going within 15 feet of anyone else or letting anyone else come within 15 feet of you?
