The denying actual science and wilful ignorance among otherwise intelligent people is stunning, disappointing, and just downright sad. This virus is more contagious and deadly than a cold or most flus, the science shows this. It was allowed to flourish and mutate into even more contagious varieties among people who denied the science behind the vaccines and masks that science has shown are effective, even denied the virus itself, until there was no real guarantee against catching a variant though the vaccines have proven to lessen the serious consequences of infections, and still the toddler "logic" is out there denying the seriousness of pandemic and measures to stop it. The deniers, often at the sacrifice of their own lives, made the number of serious illnesses and deaths far higher than necessary in the U.S. and their nonsense still goes on. We're so tired of your crap which is exactly what has caused this thing to go on and on, dragged it out because of your foot dragging little "freedom" tantrums like small children frightened of their immunizations we've all had for decades. You think you're adulting but you're just spoiled, entitled little brats that should go stand in the corner the way I make my grandkids when they misbehave. Grow up.
