Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

A different kind of Cancel Culture

 So, now Joe Biden wants to do outreach to isolated communities to inform them about Covid vaccines and the Right are going apoplectic?


On top of all that, there are multiple sites on the internet telling us ways we can reach those who don't want to take the vaccine:

Then there is this:

Almost All U.S. COVID-19 Deaths Now in the Unvaccinated


Here is what I think:

There are two groups, those in minority communities that distrust the government and the medical profession.

Then there are those who are just OBSTINANT, who refuse for religious reasons, conspiracy reasons, or just plain "I don't wanna" reasons.

We should ALL do all we can to do outreach to those who are fearful of vaccines and provide them with information and support, not ridicule them.

As for the second group, as nasty as it is for me to think this, maybe they just need to die out since they are going to be the ones dying. I would avoid them like the plague, make them unwelcome, and would go one step further, anyone who ends up spreading the virus because they went out publicly unmasked and unvaccinated should be charged. That last one likely won't happen, but wish it would.

Lastly, I would do NO outreach to that second group, NONE - ZIP, they won't change their minds anyways - so why waste an ounce of breath on them?

Time to Cancel Culture that group!
