Those of us who have been vaccinated are continuing to follow the safety protocols while waiting for the rest to follow our lead of getting vaccinated. This was not unexpected. None of the vaccine manufacturers have ever claimed that the vaccine will prevent you from contracting or transmitting COVID. There is not enough data yet to make such a claim. What they say is that the vaccines reduce the severity of the disease. And as a member of a high risk group I say “Thank goodness for that!”.
The sooner we reach herd immunity the sooner we can stop wearing masks. The longer people resist getting vaccinated the longer we’ll have to wear masks.
Kind of simple isn’t it?
Show the world how brave you are. Get vaccinated. Oh, did I mention It’s Free even for those who don’t have insurance!
got my vaccines but still wearing my mask and self distancing. with so many variants going around don’t want to take a chance incase the vaccine i got doesn’t work agaist them.
The voice of compassion this morning, John Smith. Covid is real – as someone said ask Ted Nugent. 570,000; co-morbidity only means some were less able to fight the virus, but the virus did the killing, many would still be with us but for Covid 19. The 21st Century should be one of hope but has been poisoned by fear. Fear of the other who ever that might be, a different religion, a different color. But fear is a weakness. The strong face change and adversity with faith in themselves. Your value is in you, You are free to practice your religion, let me practice mine. The horse and buggy are gone, find a training program that will teach how to make solar panels.Isolation is bad, too much time in front of the computer or TV. We could spend this time,widening our horizons not narrowing our views. Dont just look out the narrow window, open the window and let the light in, see the world right, left and center.
For all those who are sure COVID is a hoax, vaccines are an excuse to implant microchips, and believe your Orange God that it will just go away with enough bleach and sunlight, ask Ted Nugent about that, he almost died because like you he was the child of a lesser god.
BTW ‘splane something to me, how is it that y’all don’t believe in COVID or vaccines, but Space Lasers, those are real???
“Society has done its duty. If vaccine shoppers are unwilling to accept the profoundly marginal risks involved in the act of preserving their own lives, then that moral duty ought to be deemed paid in full. Freedom of choice will be paired with the onus of responsibility. The rest of us will choose to get on with living.”
I think this includes people who decide not to be vaccinated as well.
Sorry somehow I thought that I came to the comics page to escape all of this bickering. I have an opinion on politics like everyone else. I also have a butthole but I don’t feel the need fart on everyone or to argue over a comic. Sorry my bad :(

Now go and hide under your bed while wearing 3 masks. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to come back out.

It would be nice if it actually made a difference in how one was able to conduct their life.
