"Everybody needs to get back down to common sense and remember that, you know, we're human, we can't live forever..."
-- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, contesting that hospitals are filled with COVID-19 cases

There's a big difference between living a full life, dying of random happenstance, and having your life cut short from a virus that you can be protected against and losing 30, 40, 50 years of life.

Moron.

I've lost friends to the poor distribution of health care in this nation. I've lost a relative to this virus who probably had another decade or more under normal conditions - he died before the vaccine was available, I have no idea what precautions they were taking as to how he was exposed and I won't speculate. They were retired and had just moved to Dallas the previous year to be close to their baby granddaughter.

My co-worker at the library. She's a mere stripling, 25. A woman she went to school with for her degree just died of Covid shortly after giving birth, the baby has Covid and multiple other problems, but apparently is expected to make it. There's no reason she couldn't have been vaccinated. Eastern New Mexico is lighting up: it's all Conservative, mostly petroleum production and cattle country. Care to guess what the vaccination uptake rate was like?

What BioNT, the inventors of the Pfizer vaccine need to make, is an anti-vaccine vaccine. It removes all protections of the Covid-19 vaccine from your body. And anytime someone like MTG, or Rand Paul, Trump, DeSantis, etc. - any time any of these assholes makes statements or do actions that endanger people like this, they get the shot.

Strip them of their immunity. You know they've been vaccinated. Let them be exposed like they want everyone else. And they get the shot every time they repeat this idiocy so they'll never be able to sneak a re-vaccination. Oh, they also have to go into the ICUs of swamped hospitals, emptying bed pans for an hour for every such statement. Give 'em PPE equivalent to what the hospital workers have, I'm okay with that. But let them see what is really happening.

No, I really don't want to see them die. But I'd love to see them live in fear of suffering and to know what their words can cause.

People without brains should not be in positions of power.

I’m sorry for the losses you’ve known and yes, people in power should absolutely face consequences for lying to the public. Bed pans sounds like a good start.

It's so telling that they're so cavalier with everyone else's life as unimportant and the first of freedom when they absolutely have gotten vaccinated and don't want to be in places where they might have a risk of catching it. They're not morons, they're grifters and they should be required to see the real consequences of their actions.

(Also, I think a closing tag didn't.)

I think you used "vaccine" instead of "virus" in the first italicized sentence.

But I agree, And can we rig it to revoke their DPT and smallpox and other immunities?

But they'll make sure that they're in power anyway unless we stay vigilant.

Anyone who feels a need to carry a gun all the time, Ms Greene, doesn't get to make remarks about how people can't live forever.

Feeling very angry and frustrated about this too.

Every day, I look at Joe Biden, and have that same thought.
