I present to you exhibit A:I think it's definitely questionable when people hold this much hate and negativity. That's a scary world, honestly. I think we can see it all over social media. We see it in these mental illness reports. I hate to sound down but this attitude leads to the mental illness crisis we see. It really opens my eyes when the first comment from people, followed by likes, to not trust anyone and hold everyone accountable because there may be people you cannot trust. This also shows a massive amount of selfishness for people against equality. Treat people like you would want to be treated. And I respect that trust is earned. I get it. I understand that. But if we truly want equality, then we have to take that leap of faith into this world.
If we first think the most negative thing about the situation or other people, we failed as a community. When a pandemic hits, we have to pick one another up. It's bad enough to look at these mental illness stats and know its probably 25x worse. I'm not telling people to blindly be optimistic, either. In a pandemic, it's sad day to day. Lives are lost. People are hurting.
I would just expect and hope people would see the good in other people as they would to be seen in themselves. I see a lot of finger pointing, which really goes against the idea of wanting equal rights for all humans. Simply stating that those vaccinated with science/data looking to support the fact they do not carry/spread the virus should still wear masks because we cannot trust people is something I can't even 1% get behind. I'd rather die in the fight to find the positive light.
edit: Also I fully support if YOU choose to be that way. You are asking policy to be built around a lack of trust of people. That's where we differ. If a human being doesn't want to trust, so be it. That's down to the human being. But when policy over COVID is built around trust.. yikes.
Yesterday a poster in this thread proudly posted that he's not getting vaccinated just to piss off people who did get it.
This person is a minority, but not that small of a minority.
