Does nobody care about the health of themselves and others? Even communists? We're all just giving in to the liberal notion that getting COVID is inevitable and that you don't need to take any measures anymore? I hate everything.

This mindset isn't something that happened just with covid. We've heavily downplayed and ignored illness (in the US atleast) for as long as I can remember.

We all remember the kid in school who was never allowed to stay home, no matter how sick they were. My best friend got sent to school with mono when we were in Jr. High.

I never got my flu shots as a kid, and I remember a few different times our teachers asked us if we'd gotten our flu shots and typically only about ~15% said they got one. (this would have been 10-15 years ago though in the rural midwest)

What you want from people are actual lifestyle changes, when people already demonstrated they won't get a 6-12month vaccination that requires 0 lifestyle changes.
