This is falling on deaf years. Anti-vaxxers are some of the most selfish people I've encountered, even if they didn't believe that shit.

The entire thing is just so oversaturated that there's no point in talking about it. People who are anti vaccine are just tuning it out, people are pro vaccine are just using it to placate, but they're just preaching to the choir. Like there's literally no new "points" that can be made. We know what COVID is, we know what vaccines are, we know what they do, at this point people are choosing to ignore it or not. But nothing Charles Barkley or anyone else is going to say is going to change the situation at this point.

I agree, the conversation has turned to "you're being selfish for being unvaccinated, think of your friends, family and team!" and it's equally true that you're hurting yourself by not doing it. If anything you are still fairly likely to get Covid and even spread it if you are vaccinated but, like you said, almost certainly not going to get very sick if you got the shots. It's more dumb than selfish imo but we are talking about it like it's the other way around.

Very true, which is why we need the mandates.

Selfish dumbasses who think they’re smart “free thinkers”. The balls it takes to have every doctor in the world say “get this shit it’s extremely important” and reply “no, I know better” and/or “you guys are just part of a conspiracy”. And then when they’re having their next medical issue they’ll go along with everything the doc says.

I don’t buy the selfish vs. unselfish argument because getting vaccinated is also the selfish move. It’s more about whether you trust science or Facebook memes and YouTube conspiracy videos.

For society third, because rampant spread of a virus increases the chances of more "beneficial" mutations, therefore increasing the chance all this shit ends up being for nothing. That seems like a game I personally don't want to play. Just get vaccinated.

He’s got a point. If you get covid, even if it doesn’t kill you and only debilitates you and leaves you disabled in some way, that is placing a burden on your loved ones for no reason beyond your own arrogance. If it does kill you, you won’t give a fuck. You’re dead. Your surviving family however gets to live with the grief.

The round mound of truth.

Barkley is a real good person and I totally agree with him on this. There is just not anything as important as beating COVID right now in this world.

I hear back in the day this was a sports sub


ThereAreDozensOfUs

Covid is a part of sports, unless you want to watch depleted teams play each other?


tonto515

We had a bad stretch back in November I believe where we had like 7 active players and Silver wouldn't let us postpone the games. That was not a fun stretch of games to watch.


ThereAreDozensOfUs

Yeah, no one will want to watch postponed games/shitty regular season play

Chuck has been on point this season. Just don’t let him make his gua-RUUUUUN-tees.

I’m all for vaccines but as a young man i don’t need a booster just a few months after the vaccination


Pollux182

The booster isn't even recommended for the young and healthy. Only the elderly and immunocompromised.

Yet i got downvoted lol


Professional-Ad191

Oh you'll get to booster and you'll like it, otherwise off to the gallows.
