I am confused why do you care if those that have chosen not to vaccinate gets Covid, is hospitalized or not, has symptoms, or not, Die or not, according to science can only give Covid to the same unvaccinated.

Why does that bother you, does it directly effect you, does it change your lifestyle, because it shouldn’t. If you are vaccinated, you can Walk on Water, without getting wet

So my confusion is still Why do you care what others are doing?
I am currently in an area that only 26% have been vaccinated. Yet I don’t worry about things I cannot change. I don’t live in fear of what May or may not happen. But that has been my way of life since beginning of 2020. Hugged my grandchildren every week, and still enjoy life the same.

Note to all the ANTI-CAPITALIZERS......Yes. I DO think that capitalization DOES connotate emphasis and SHOULD be used in informal communication! Just like the use of inflection in SPEECH. Speech without INFLECTION is monotonous and BORING!

It was your choice to stay home for a year and your choice to get vaccinated. Other people can make the same choices for themselves and who’s to say that a year or a few years down the road as to who may have made the right choice. As I said before some people are told by their doctor not to get vaccinated, and others feel that the vaccines haven’t been adequately tested studied for side effects and efficiencies and thus aren’t safe. That’s their choice to say no to vaccines that aren’t FDA approved, and do what they feel is best for themselves.

So true as they are very easily copied and manipulated and having a paper card is really not proof of anything. Also, just saw an article where a guy was charged with the theft of 500 CDC cards.

The answer my friend.....is written in my post
the answer is written in my post

Honestly, I have stated my answer to THAT at, least, 20 times on various days in various posts. But, on the off chance that you are somewhat sincere - here goes again.....why I care?.............

..........Over 600,000 US citizens have died of CV. And more WILL die. That weakens America, which IS my country. CV also COST the taxpayer a BIZZILION dollars in hospital expenses, and vaccine costs. Probably caused some hospitals to go out of business. I spent one year of my life staying quarantined because I felt it was the right and patriotic thing to do. NOW, my time and effort is somewhat wasted because others chose a different path. Truthfully, that IS FRUSTRATING! Now I have a near hatred of about 40% of all Americans that went unvaccinated. I have a hatred of the dark- propaganda, and media forces that led to that 40% that were (and remain) UNVACCINATED. I worry that America has split into 2 unstable camps and there is a good chance that it will end up in a DICTATORSHIP.

I actually know someone personally, that got the vaccine, and got Covid. He was miserable. He was out for 2 weeks, if not longer. He's still not himself, and it's been over a month since he's been cleared and has been venturing out.

It affects my lifestyle as a taxpayer because CV should have (and COULD have) been stopped by last Sept in the US even without a vaccine. Australia did it early on with discipline, leadership, no live-free-or-die-idiots like in the US, masking, and distancing. WE should have ONLY about 200,000 deaths today!

It affects ALL our lifestyles because we All wasted the $ for the shots and our time, in that as a total country - we FAILED to drop the CV toward near ZERO. We squandered our opportunity - now we will waste MORE money and have MORE unnecessary DEATHS (hope it is no one that you or I know). It affects my lifestyle because I NO LONGER believe in America - the image of America from my high school days is WHIPPED OUT COMPLETELY! That IS hard to take! If I could move to Australia, Switzerland, or Finland, I would look into it in a heartbeat!

I'm glad that RC is making the vaccinations optional for their passengers. That's the way it should be. Anyone who wants the vaccine has had ample time to get it and it's time for the government to step aside and allow the people to decide for themselves whether to risk getting on a cruise ship or not.

This year we've seen schools in other states remain closed, or only open on a very limited basis for their students, all year long only to have full capacity in person graduations with no masks or social distancing required. How much sense does that even make? The HS seniors missed out on their entire senior year of HS due to "safety" concerns and now that the year is over they are suddenly "safe" to be around each other again along with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of spectators in a full capacity stadium w/no masks required.

I and many others are done with this nonsense and want to enjoy going on a cruise again without all of the Covid-19 "safety measures". It's all a bunch of baloney. Go or don't go. Just keep your nose out of other passengers' health records.
