we get the vaccination boosters and move on with our lives...Republicans and others have chosen death instead of life because of their worship of Trump. Of course, some are merely anti-vaxers and it has nothing to do with Trump. But they risk death and permanent injury as well.

My husband was out of work off and on for over a year as was I due to lockdowns. And in the end, there was no unemployment...no help really of any sort.... so no more lockdowns. They won't work with the unvaccinated idiots who will simply spawn more variants and become more violent IMHO.
