Goodbye and Good Riddance (Anti-Vaxxer Hater Opinion Piece)
Seattle Times/Miami Herald ^ | 9/26/2021 | Leonard Pitts Jr.

“If you want to leave, take good care, hope you make a lot of nice friends out there.”

— From the song “Wild World” by Cat Stevens

This is for those of you who’ve chosen to quit your jobs rather than submit to a vaccine mandate.

No telling how many of you there actually are, but lately, you’re all over the news. Just last week, a nearly-30-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department surrendered his badge rather than comply with the city’s requirement that all employees be inoculated against COVID-19. He joins an Army lieutenant colonel, some airline employees, a Major League Baseball executive, the choral director of the San Francisco Symphony, workers at the tax collector’s office in Orange County, Florida, and, incredibly, dozens of health care professionals.

Well, on behalf of the rest of us, the ones who miss concerts, restaurants and other people’s faces, the ones who are sick and tired of living in pandemic times, here’s a word of response to you quitters: Goodbye.

And here’s two more: Good riddance.

Someone should tell Leonard Pitts Jr. the awful truth; the vaccines don’t work. Leonard Pitts Jr. knows this. He also knows that the demographic least likely to get vaxxed is his own. Knowing these things, yet having the views he professes, means that Leonard Pitts Jr. is a dishonest pile of dung.

He should have used an Eric Clapton song. Oh, that's right...

These smug, militant arse-kissers can talk all the smack they want. Anyone who tries to get in my face about not wearing a mask, being 'anti-vaxx', whatever, quickly find that Covid is the very least of their problems.

I've already had a few fun encounters. So far, they've all had a sudden lack of, er, 'initiative', when the response is 'drop dead' and a visible willingness to break them in half if so required.

The mandate is NOT about whether you were vaccinated. It is over whether you are willing to produce the medical card to prove you are vaccinated.

Nothing is more pathetic than mass media brainwashed homo sapiens.

Pond scum has higher intelligence.

Self awareness, you much? It's not incredible, you're just stupid.

Until illegal invaders of this country are blocked from entry until they’ve been tested and vaccinated, this idiot has nothing meaningful to say.

Oh man, he should NOT have written that. These people are painting themselves into a permanent corner with the psychopathic rantings.

It’s Leonard Pitts - long-time anti-American scribbler. Literally nothing this man has written is of any value, beyond the consideration that any opposing view to his opinion is likely the correct one.

The Chinese virus can be cured, with no after-effects, and complete immunity.

Myocarditis is forever. So are blood clots in the brain.

We don’t even know what other permanent damage the “vaxx” is doing. Thalidomide was a cure-all until it became obvious what it was doing to pregnant women.

So stuff it up, maroon.

We are outside of Seattle. I typically do not watch the local news, but they have gotten this area in a panic again. Yesterday my wife and I went to Coscto and they had no toilet paper. People were leaving the store with shopping carts heaped high with paper towels and Kleenex.

This couple ordered a lifetime supply of paper towels. 8 Costco ones.  Regular sized house. Strange!: InstacartShoppers

Myocarditis is mostly temporary. It also is much more common than from just a vaccine.

I wonder how Mr. Pitts feels about the freedom to unimpededly walk across the US southern border.

Pitts is a weasel.

I have a few choice words, for him, as well.
