@liaizon The Epoch Times does not count as a newspaper. Hell, it barely counts as fish wrapping or birdcage liners.

There's a form of conservatism that sees disease as a moral failing. If you get sick, and die, you clearly did something to deserve it. Anti-vax nonsense plays right into this view. People with this world view don't think they're at risk of Covid, because they're morally upstanding. The vaccine—more specifically the governmental and societal pressure to get vaccinated—is an affront to their moral purity.

To be fair, a model of disease based on moral failings isn't an uncommon way of thinking, even on the Left. I know I was livid when I got Covid because I had done everything right—masking, isolating, getting tested. I was morally right, and didn't "deserve" to get Covid. But because one of my partner's coworkers is an anti-mask, Covid-denier who came to work with symptoms, my partner caught it—can't wear a mask if you eat lunch in the office—and gave it to me.

Thankfully, we both had very mild cases, and we got vaxxed as soon as we could.I suppose the difference is that I'm willing to protect myself because I know that any sort of moral purity isn't actually protection against disease. Protection against disease is protection against disease. It doesn't matter how good of a person you are.

There is a moral component to taking Covid precautions and getting vaccinated, but the moral component is taking actions to protect yourselves and others from an illness that cannot and does not know if you're a good person or a bad person. That's all there is to it.

So I was possessed to wear heels to work for the first time today and now I’m all self-conscious about how much noise they make on the tile floors. At least my office area is carpeted.

Why, yes, I did put on my TNG uniform top, a Bajoran earring, and makeup just for my work Zoom meetings today.

Forgive the plug but my employer, AMNH, has their new COVID resource page live with some great science-based stuff about vaccines and the pandemic. https://www.amnh.org/explore/viruses-vaccines-pandemic-science

Unless something truly awful happens in the next hour I will have made it the entire holiday season without hearing “Wonderful Christmastime”

Ah, the simple pleasures of getting home from work, taking off your bra, and smoking a little weed.

@bigzaphod I’m genuinely surprised the image of the Borg nanoprobes from this episode didn’t go around as proof of the 5G chips in the COVID vaccine or some shit.
