Unlikely
I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again, but now with ICUs primarily filled with patients who have chosen not to be vaccinated. I am angry that it takes me over an hour to explain to an anti-vaxxer full of misinformation that intubation isn’t what “kills patients” and that their wish for chest compressions without intubation in the event of a respiratory arrest makes no sense. I am angry at those who refuse to wear “muzzles” when grocery shopping for half an hour a week, as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.
I cannot understand the simultaneous decision to not get vaccinated and the demand to end the restrictions imposed by a pandemic. I cannot help but recoil as if I’ve been slapped in the face when my ICU patient tells me they didn’t get vaccinated because they “just didn’t get around to it.” Although such individuals do not consider themselves anti-vaxxers, their inaction itself is a decision — a decision to not protect themselves or their families, to fill a precious ICU bed, to let new variants flourish, and to endanger the health care workers and immunosuppressed people around them. Their inaction is a decision to let this pandemic continue to rage.
And meanwhile, immunocompromised people, for whom vaccines don’t generate much immunity, are desperately waiting for herd immunity. I have no way to comfort my rightfully outraged transplant patients who contracted COVID-19 after isolating for over a year and getting fully vaccinated as soon as they could. With angry tears, these patients tell me it’s not fair that there are people who are choosing to endanger both themselves and the vulnerable people around them. They feel betrayed by their fellow citizens and they are bitter and angry. I cannot blame them.
I am at a loss to understand how anyone can look at these past months of the pandemic — more than 600,000 lives lost in the U.S. and more than 4 million worldwide — and not believe it’s real or take it seriously. But the unhappy truth is that there are people who do not. They did not in the beginning and many are doubling down now.
I thought when this pandemic began that we were all in this fight together, engaged in a war against a common enemy. Now, I painfully realize: Perhaps we were never on the same side and we never had a common enemy. Perhaps the war has been among ourselves all along. We have won many battles but unvaccinated America is choosing to let COVID win the war.

How about directing some at that disgust and the serial liars in this forum?

Fair enough.
How is that list of posts where I have lied coming? Surely you would claim I was a liar without some actual evidence.

Honestly, I'm more concerned about the downfall of our civilization than those that bother you here on TOL.

sorry to hear about your extended family member's death
Louisiana Congressman-Elect Dies From COVID-19
Republican Luke Letlow, 41, who was elected earlier this month to represent the northeastern 5th District, died Tuesday from complications from the disease.www.npr.org
41 years old, zero "comorbidities", zero "pre-existing conditions", perfectly healthy.
I myself had an extended family member die of COVID-19 just a couple of days ago. He was 42 years old, no health problems, unvaccinated, now dead of Covid pneumonia.
Sure, Louisiana has a high comorbidity rate--which is all the more reason for them to get vaccinated! So far, everyone I personally know who's been hospitalized or died of covid has been unvaccinated. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

So then what's the point of getting the vaccine?
