I don't care about myself but the social isolation of kids was pretty bad. I hope we can get back to where they can fully interact with each other again.

We could do it today if we wanted to. The only thing stoping it is tribalism and irrational fear.

Machismo? Dude. 1.6 years is a non trivial amount of my life. I’ve already put my career on hold because of this, sacrificed my daughters well being, and a bunch of stuff. I got the shot. I’m fully vaccinated. How much more do you expect from me in order to protect people who don’t want to get vaccinated?
The only person who truly looks after my well-being is me. I can be selfish. I deserve to have my actual normal life back. My 2019 life didnt revolve around worrying about stopping the spread of exactly one very specific disease.
If y’all want to hide under the bed at home until some undefined end date… go for it. But forcing society to do the same with you is incredibly selfish.
Totally agree with you, after both of my shots are done. I have been vaccinated, my parents have been vaccinated. A major percentage of the country is vaccinated. Even if after vaccination, I can get covid, then I am willing to take the risk of dying. What else am I supposed to do? How many years will we be in this state. Let's just accept that this is harsh truth about humanity and move on.
Sorry. Life is short. I’ve sacrificed 1.6 years of it for something I’ve never been afraid of. I’ve played by all the rules, but enough is enough. It is super selfish to insist we continue to live this way. We aren’t living, we are being kept alive… life was meant to be lived.
