Liberals have been quick to lament the mixed messaging delivered by the CDC over mask mandates, but the whiplash many (especially parents) feel over the abrupt changes in policy are nothing next to the crisis in messaging now engulfing the GOP.
My biggest concern is for my students. Here is TX, Gov. Abbott had said that schools are not allowed to mandate masks. In a pandemic that is increasingly affecting children, how can I interpret that as anything but that he is knowingly sacrificing the lives of the next generation for his own career? It makes me heartsick.
The only unvaccinated people I care about are the children who aren't eligible for it yet, including my grandchildren. I have been responsible and cautious because of them. I've been like that since the beginning, last March. Once the children are safe, I really don't care about the willfully ignorant, at this point. They've made their choices and must now suffer the consequences. I know this sounds harsh, but, I'm exhausted trying to keep these people safe, while they have no consideration for anyone. For these Republicans, who have figured out that it's their base that's dying, too little too late. It's not like they're doing it because it's the right thing to do, it's for purely selfish, self serving reasons. How GOPish of them.

I would add those who medically can't be vaccinated
Agreed
Preach brother! Vaccinate!
