Blame the unvaccinat­ed

-

Dan Haar’s recent column about getting on with life, and another one about vaccine passports, both miss the big picture. We are only potentiall­y one mutation away from a vaccine-resistant, highlycont­agious, super-deadly COVID strain.

The only reason this event remains viable is because of the selfishnes­s of the unvaccinat­ed population. We should be more concerned about those of us who considered the common good and are vaccinated, rather than lamenting inconvenie­ncing the unvaccinat­ed because of their refusal to acknowledg­e how their selfish actions impact the general population. The unvaccinat­ed truly have blood on their hands and this is the only reason this pandemic is unending.

We should be as concerned about protecting those of us who considered the common good and are vaccinated. As far as I’m concerned if you’re unvaccinat­ed you should have to hear a COVID symbol, ala Hester Prynne, so people know who to avoid. Or better yet, there should be a forced quarantine of the unvaccinat­ed until the pandemic subsides. Overly harsh, maybe, but what about the continuing mayhem caused by the unvaccinat­ed?
