Maybe for now and with covid, but that is definitely the case for other diseases with vaccines and varies by state.

Republicans happened to that.

-yet another reason to add a warning label, hazardous to ones own health, and the health of others. Millions of americans now suffer from the effects of second hand republicanism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Actually, it’s very special. People who qualify for the Darwin Award almost never present a risk to the health and safety of the community at large. When Joe Thumblefingers blows his head off because he’s looking down the barrel to make sure the bullet’s coming out, he’s not a threat to me. When Jimmy Entitletwat won’t wear a mask or get a shot, he is.

There are a lot of downsides to a large group of the US population refusing to get the shot.

However, there is one plus and that is that the line is shorter for those of us with some common sense.

I wouldn't care if they couldn't turn around and infect vulnerable people who can't get the vaccine. Fuck em'. Fuck em' all.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

This could leave to a mass republican die off. What with them tending to be older and more likely to mingle riskily.

They gave me a card when I got vaccinated; not sure if it does anything beyond keeping track of your doses. I still kept mine in case it makes flights or services easier in the future.
