People immunocompromised to the point that the vaccine can’t protect them are extremely rare, yet extremely common as a talking point for holier than thou posters.

Also they were in danger from many other viruses pre COVID, including ones for which there is no highly effective vaccine. What steps did you take to protect them?

There's some comfort to be found in the shared human experience of the pandemic making us all just a little bit more insane than we were before.

Tracer I think the “us all” part of OL’s line is the nugget of sincere sentiment in a grimly ironic postalso there have been over five million deaths so far, and that’s without trustworthy figures from eg China, India and Brazil

another extremely good piece on family dynamics with covid deniers. i know it's paywalled, sorry.
Laurel’s most sustained interaction with the couple over the summer had not been face-to-face. When she moved out, she had surreptitiously ripped the Infowars sticker off her daughter’s car. Sam and D slapped on new Infowars stickers in its place, including one that read “THE MEDIA IS THE VIRUS.” But Laurel again secretly tampered with the bumper, adding stickers saying “Hillary is my homegirl” and “Biden Harris 2020.” Sam and D removed them, and the proxy war ended. The family had never spoken about it.
The vaccine tore her family apart. Could a death bring them back together?
― just staying (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 November 2021 17:26 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, that reminds me. Someone has put infowars stickers all over the stop signs in my neighborhood. What would be the best stickers to cover them up with?
― peace, man, Monday, 15 November 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link
“We’re talking more since your dad died,” she said. Now they talked about Laurel’s favorite recipe for catfish bait, and their mixed feelings about Joel’s funeral — how they were ready for it to be over, but also weren’t, because then he would really be gone. And eventually they started talking about the reason they had stopped talking: the vaccine.“It was just too quick for them to come up with it,” Sam said.“But it wasn’t quick,” Laurel said.“My biggest thing is my skin …”“That makes you more medically in need of it.”“I’m gonna wait and see how it goes with the people who got the shot, and when I’m comfortable with it, I’ll talk to my dermatologist,” Sam told her mother.“I’m just gonna pray you don’t get covid and die in the meantime,” Laurel said.Raindrops were clattering over the pontoon’s tin roof. Sam excused herself to go pick up some dinner with D, who had just finished work at the Rural King farm supply store.Part of Laurel wanted to drop all the restraint that she tried to bring to these conversations and scream at her daughter that she was being stupid, that after losing Joel she couldn’t bear to lose her, too. But as Sam walked up the road Laurel sat there saying nothing, smoking her dead husband’s cigarettes and watching the rain.
“It was just too quick for them to come up with it,” Sam said.
“But it wasn’t quick,” Laurel said.
“My biggest thing is my skin …”
“That makes you more medically in need of it.”
“I’m gonna wait and see how it goes with the people who got the shot, and when I’m comfortable with it, I’ll talk to my dermatologist,” Sam told her mother.
“I’m just gonna pray you don’t get covid and die in the meantime,” Laurel said.

I covered up a bunch in my neighborhood with some stickers my friend, graffiti artist POORBOY, gave me. They say "POORBOY" and feature an Apache holding a scalp aloft with a dead (white) body beside him.

"they're saying boo-urns"
When I find conspiracy nutjob / white nationalist stickers around I leave them where they were but deface them, hoping that the person who put them there sees that they were not accidentally covered or removed but destroyed.
Probably naive but makes me feel better for some reason.

the latest narrative that I see emerging amongst actually grown-ass adults is "why is the south doing so well against COVID now when they were the least restrictive states in terms of COVID mitigation?"
Idk, maybe the hundreds of thousands of people that died and more that went into the hospital could answer that for you? it's like saying a fireman put out a fire by just watching it burn until there was no house left.
even saw a columnist from NYT ask this but that's par for the course w/ a lot of them.

The top 10 states in deaths per capita include two states where the disease spread rapidly in March 2020 before we had any idea how to suppress it or treat it (New York and New Jersey), the South, Arizona, and Oklahoma.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 16 November 2021 04:56 (two years ago) link
I mean if the governors of those states wanted to say "the deaths here were actually not THAT far above the national average and our kids went to school in person for a whole semester yours didn't, plus bars were never closed," let them say that! There are costs and benefits, say what they are and let people do their own accounting!
