Because they are selfish ignorant idiots who do not care about their community, family, friends, or neighbors. Many simply want to see the world go down in flames so they can push a smug political narrative. Others have been completely mislead by fabricated nonsense pushed by anti-vaxxers on social media. No matter the cause -- these unvaccinated are extending Covid misery and death across the globe and stopping society from returning to our normal existence.

I do remember early in the Pandemic,
many members stating that the Pandemic was started for political reasons with the help of the Democrats. Some members here supported the notion that it was a Democratic Hoax.
Many of these members are still here at ET spreading misinformation / disinformation and the silent ones would just click the "like" button on their message posts as if they're giving them full support for the bullshit rhetoric.
They actually defended Operation Warp Speed while Trump was still President as a solution to defeat their political enemies. That was a big contradiction and conflict because it showed they supported vaccines but felt that Covid was either not real or overestimated as in no more than a bad FLU.
On the flip side, Democrats didn't trust the development of Covid vaccines because of the politics quickly being involved and the hypocrisy from the anti-science.
Simply, because of the bullshit in the United States, a distrust for Covid vaccines was quickly growing in other countries along with their own problems in fighting Covid.
Trump loses the election and the flood gates open with misinformation / disinformation on social media including here at Elitetrader.com in which the politics reversed. Yet, now there are
real reasons along with the political bullshit for the
Vaccine Hesitancy.
Yet, there's
no science to the reasons for the vaccine hesitancy and some are
not logical in their risk analysis even when people are losing friends and loved ones to Covid for not being vaccinated.
Unfortunately, we also had a handful of active members here at ET that either
made threats to harm other ET members, threats to create multiple aliases for the purpose to troll other members, hijacked trading threads with Covid misinformation or created misinformation threads not in the political section.
- They don't understand that they are in fact a threat to the recovery of their online community and a threat to their community at home from this Pandemic.
That's when I saw a lot of ET members begin to fight back against the misinformation / disinformation about Covid, Pandemic, and the Vaccines. ET was not alone...many social media platforms begin to fight back but they had a part in allowing the misinformation / disinformation to get out of control for the sake of views, clicks and profits from advertisement dollars.
- Simply, social media sold its soul to the devil.
In many ways, one could blame the ET management for allowing this to continue for so long to a point where members are taking it personally.
Covid will be with us for many years due to the above when it didn't need to. It's now deep seated into the woes of society instead of society as a collective coming together to defeat Covid.
The sad part, if another
Variant of Concern comes along that's more deadly and can easily get around the defenses of the vaccines...
we're fucked as a society because the bullshit misinformation / disinformation was allowed to continue for so long on all sides of the fences.
The bad news, governments are now panicking because of all the bullshit when Delta Variant hit us. They then started using mandates because of that panic when they saw too many people unwillingly to do their civic duty to the society as a whole to end the Covid threat.
The good news...the mandates are working in declining Infections, Hospitalization, ICU admissions, and Deaths. Most importantly, mandates have improved peoples chances at survival if a fully vaccinated person has a breakthrough Covid infection.
- Most importantly of all, we've given more protection to our children especially those that can not be vaccinated. Simply, we're protecting the future generation against the assholes of today.
Yet,
real world threats are now becoming more frequent because of the mandates and they'll probably be minimized the longer we can keep the Covid numbers declining to a point that we can say
"they're low" in comparison to when the Delta Variant hit us.
Unfortunately, many more people will die because of real world threats due to this society of humans being unhealthy in mind, body and spirit.
