Column: Instead of vaccine passports, issue mandatory ‘I’M SELFISH!’ T-shirts to those who refuse shots
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 22, 2021 | Rex Huppke

Posted on 05/09/2021 6:21:02 AM PDT by DoodleBob

I would love a COVID-19 vaccine passport. After more than a year in full or partial quarantine, I’m so happy to be vaccinated I want to get the words “FULLY” and “VAXXED” tattooed on my butt and run naked through the streets. (Don’t worry, I won’t. America has suffered enough.)

Unfortunately … sorry, that’s a side effect of the Pfizer vaccine … unfortunately, vaccine pride is not as prevalent as it should be, and a sizable swath of the population prefers to poo-poo the one thing that can lead us out of a pandemic that has killed more than 550,000 Americans.

...

And on that point, we most definitely are not pulling together “as one people to a common goal.” A Monmouth University poll released April 14 found 43% of Republicans say they’re unlikely to get the vaccine. That contributes heavily to the 1 in 5 Americans overall who say they won’t get vaccinated.

....The hesitant-to-get-vaccinated are also up in arms over the idea of a vaccine passport, I guess because of “tyranny” or some other incorrect but scary sounding word... but the vaccine-wary could keep us from reaching herd immunity and increase the risk of weird, dangerous COVID-19 mutations. Without enough vaccinations, we can’t breathe easy and swim out of the undertow of stress that sucked us down more than a year ago.

The good news is I have a plan that should appeal to folks fearful of a vaccine or vaccine passports...So instead of providing vaccine passports to people who get the Pfizer or Moderna or Johnson & Johnson shots, let’s just issue mandatory “I’M SELFISH!” T-shirts to those who refuse.

Rex is a f*cking idiot. If he’s been vaccinated then presumably he’s immune and not at risk to catching the Chinese flu from someone who isn’t vaccinated. Why should he give a shit if I’m vaccinated or not.

Joe Goebbels approves your message.

Some anti-lockdown or anti-vaccine people have been seen displaying Yellow Stars ala Nazi Germany.

Liberal Establishment groups pounce on it and denounce it maybe some of it is staged by undercover government agents etc.etc.

But this T-shirt idea seems to be in the “Yellow Star” ballpark IMHO.

Leftist democrats demand to control you and I at every turn and they love to use denigration as a tactic for compliance.

I think it is time for me to start doing the exact opposite of anything they demand of me. After not taking the vaccine, I think I will continue by flying the confederate flag.

Any other suggestions, folks?

Need some more offerings.

‘I’M UNPATRIOTIC!’,

‘I H8’,

or how about
‘I HAVE A BUILT IN IMMUNE SYSTEM!’,

‘NOT joeNtony’s LAB RAT!’,

‘UNMUZZLED, UNVACCINTATED, UNAFRAID!’.

Sooner or later though some may be UNDER ARREST. :-}

Fine. Then issue “I’m a moron” shirts to people wearing masks walking outside by themselves.

In a rational society, when the individual has primacy over the collective, and life is the standard of value, rational selfishness is the individual's concern for his own life and well being.

Now that's a brief sentence, yet heavy-laden with truth!

I guess I am selfish then. I know many vaccinated people who don’t think I am selfish.

This guy can go straight to hell.

"Leftists love the word MANDATORY."

And they positively squeak with glee over the "or ELSE!" portion of the program. None of them are fit to live.

Are you aware that this ‘experimental shot’ will be fully APPROVED by the end of the year?

550,000 dead from the coof, and not one dead from the flu. Amazing.

Exactly.

Also this virus is 99.85% survivable not 99.85% fatal.

We live in a real life TWILIGHT ZONE episode or most people are stupid.

Why don’t we do the same to the people who decide to have abortions since babies might not be “convenient”.

Vaccinating ten million American college students might be at the expense of the lives of 60,000 people of color in the Third World.

Let’s make a deal with these baby killers.

I will wear an “I’m selfish” t-shirt if the women who abort their babies wear an “I’m a murderer” t-shirt...

Selfish? When did that line of fire start?

Started with the masks.

Now it's full-blown.

Freedom = selfishness, greed, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc etc etc etc
