"It is time to stop politicizing Covid." but their argument amounts to "you need to just stop fighting me and give me what I want".

What exactly do we unlearn when he quotes, "unlearn many of the behaviors we’ve learned in the last two years"? What hardships are we going to go through if we continue to wear masks a little longer than necessary? Do I really need to shake your hand when we greet? Believe it or not people don't want to stay at home, not be able to work and they definitely don't like being sick and dying. Know when we'll go back to normal? When people stop dying so much.

This is going to have massive long term effects and I'm not talking about anything from having worn a mask. I'm talking about the long term effects of the virus. I'm positive you'll be seeing advertisements for the next 40 years for "Covid treatment centers of America".

If this person really wants to get back to normal maybe we should start by passing legislation now to deny Mediare benefits to anyone suffering from Covid complications who refused to be vaccinated. I'd be happy to support conservatives in saying, "Why should I be taxed to pay for the results of your decision?" or allow covid complications be be considered a preexisting condition for unvaccinated. Why should I have to pay through my insurance premiums for your ER visit?

Sounds like you are a customer for a new type of insurance policy which right or wrong discriminates against unvaccinated. Weirdly enough I think the unvaccinated would see their policies go down in price because we are by and large young. Are you sure you want to cleave populations in two based on that policy change, are you certain it will benefit you in the way you expect?
Ah, discriminates against the unvaccinated sort of like how they discriminate against smokers right now?...ya, I'm cool with that.
