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.

Even if I was vaccinated, I would want one of those T-shirts. Yes I would. I would wear it proudly just to piss off the Karens in this world.

You can't poo-poo a vaccine; that's a load of crap.

Mr. Huppke is an intolerable idiot, based on this article.

Again, if someone got the shot, how is my not getting it selfish since they are protected by their shot, right?

Not only that: if they refuse to get the shot then they deserve to get Covid and die. So what's the problem?

I can guarantee you that if 550,000 Americans died from the vaccine he'd consider it an acceptable price, as it represents only a minuscule .16 percent of the population.

Actually making kids and people not at risk of covid death get a shot is selfish. Those forcing the Vax are the selfish. Like most things in politics. The accusation reflects on the accuser

Articles like this are exactly why people are not getting the vaccine. The author is, basically, saying that the vaccines do not work/protect you.

What a stupid, childish column. This yahoo gets paid to write this tripe?

As an aside...my grandmother's favorite words were tripe and swill! Thanks for bringing back that memory!

Anything to try to shame people into taking the vaccine.

Honestly the more they push it, the more desperately they push it, the more I’m going to resist.
