I think we can all agree that if one wished to play in traffic on I-4 during rush hour, it is your right to do so. But, does one have a right for those wishing to play on I-4 to drag others onto I-4? I think most of us would say, that is not your right to do so. So, if you are unvaccinated or unmasked, it is your right. But, you have no right to go about and infect others just like you have no right to pull others onto I-4 to play if that is what you want to do.
I think the President of France had it right. It is time to emmerder those who are unvaccinated or unmasked. That verb means to immerse in excrement.
It is time that the unvaccinated and unmasked stay home.
They made their choice. Now, be subject to the consequences.On the other hand, those who abide by the social compact to care for their fellow human beings by masking up and getting vaccinated should be allowed to play as much as they want.
This is a public health issue and those who want to belittle the numbers of Covid deaths or hospitalizations or illnesses need to be emmerder.

Good word "emmerder" - I will try to remember "emmerder"! And pretty good analogy about playing on I-4.In general, a great, intelligent post that comes at a very NEEDED time. Nice to read a well-written and smart post instead of the MOSTLY off-the-wall and confused one-liners and one or two-sentence posts that I, unfortunately, have to wade through the "emmerder" content of most posts.
......And I don't know how to BEST say this.....BUT, the post was very pointed and AGGRESSIVE, which I liked. But, I don't like the fact that someone in the US HAS to say it. But, it needs to be said and I, for one, am glad that it is now out in the open! We are in one of History's great PIVOTAL moments. The US can roll through these next few years only moderately wounded or the US can enter a period of Historic devolution toward darkness. (I will not spell that out and be specific) I just HOPE that justice and democracy prevail. The 1st outright battle was last year on Jan 6 - a day that may live in infamy. The casualties were light and hopefully, they stay light. Sorry, but that HAS to be said!
