Edit: Hold up. There's more to it than this. If enough people die from disease, then society will break down. That breakdown poses a threat to your immediate family. Would you still prefer no mitigation and take your chances later in the Mad Max Thunderdome?
The only chance of Mad Max is if we get ADE from the vaccines.

Any credible scientist who studied Covid before the outbreak, says Covid will easily walk around the vaccines. So my question for you, is when do you give up, and live your life, wave 4, 20, 200?

I'm living my life now. I'm fully vaccinated, I mask up in public. I went to the beach yesterday.

While post-apocalyptic is hyperbole, the fact remains that a lot of people dying at once is bad for business and society.

And that will affect your family. So even after that, you're saying what the US has done is still not worth it? There's no justifying it unless one of your kids die from it?

Hey, I am terrified to drive to work because the odds of a fatal car accident are astronomical. Everyone needs to pay me to not work because of the extreme risk. PAY UP MFers!!!!

1,000?
1,000,000?
1,000,000,000?

We're all rational men and women. There has got to be a calculus where mitigation to save X lives is worth the temporary sacrifices and expenditures we've suffered.

What's your number?
I wouldn’t call over a year temporary.

I don't see anything wrong with protecting the vulnerable, and allowing the rest to continue on, you will probably say that won't work, but that's the same argument for why lockdowns don't work either.

I think your sides argument is more, “I don’t care about who else might get hurt, I’m gonna chug this natty light and and then speed to hooters. Yeehaw.”

Is that what you said when your ex-wife asked for a "temporary" separation?

Sorry, the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome is also very real and dangerous. I can't risk my health for a job. You're just going to have to pay me to not work. It's the safest thing to do. In fact, the CDC said so, there's no debate.
