A modest proposal for the unvaccinated
American Thinker.com ^ | August 14, 2021 | Pandra Selivanov

(This post is satire.)

With the Delta variant raging across the world, the time has come to take stern measures against the unvaccinated. Let me make clear that these measures should not be employed against illegal aliens or BLM riot...er, sorry, protesters, as Covid is only a threat from Trump supporters. It’s not like we’re dealing with the Black Death, which killed one-third of the population in the Middle Ages. Covid is not Ebola with a 90% mortality rate. Covid is far more serious. It has only a 98% survivability rate! That means 2% of the people who catch Covid are going to die. Two percent! This cannot be tolerated any longer.

Going forward, we must no longer use gentle persuasion on the unvaccinated. They are easy to identify because they don’t wear masks. It would be a simple matter for the police to demand to see the papers (i.e., vaccination cards) of every unmasked person they see. Anyone unable to produce a vaccination card can be ticketed on the spot. A hefty fine may persuade some to get the vaccine. However, we must have a plan B and the infrastructure is already in place.

What I propose is reeducation camps for the unvaccinated who are resistant to fines. They can be relocated to camps in suitable locations, such as Tule Lake, where an internment camp already exists. It hasn’t been used since World War II but could be put in working order. These camps need not cost the taxpayers any money, the unvaccinated’s property can be confiscated to cover the expense.

2 percent? I believe the correct figure is 0.2 percent.

Sad that an article like this even has to be written. But it’s a pretty good one.

I hope this is satire but fear it is not.

Watch for retail outlets and service providers catering to the unvaccinated and unmasked to begin popping up.

There seem to be different ways of calculating the mortality rate floating around. Simply dividing the deaths from Covid by total positive tests is around 1.5% to 2.0% in various states.

Current US Totals. 621,000 deaths/36,600,000 cases = 1.725%

How are calculating your percentage?

Correction.

Current US Totals. 621,000 deaths/36,600,000 cases = 1.697%.
