    As long as there’s a good, available vaccine, IDGAF. I’ll make sure my family gets quadruply vaccinated, and wait for idiots that reject vaccines to start beefing it.

    I will be sad for old folks, babies, people who are pregnant, and the immunocompromised though. We just need to learn this lesson sooner rather than later, before it’s something completely fucked up like nipah virus, which will fuck our shit up if we don’t have a damn good vaccine and containment protocols in place.

      I love how naively you think that you’ll be able to get your hands on a vaccine in the US…

      If you’re not in the US, lucky for you!

        Even if you get vaccines, with an entire continent being absolutely ravaged, you won’t be safe, no matter how far you live. We live in an interconnected world, and do a lot of travel.
