Only a few feet really.

[–]Fauster 312 points313 points  (6 children)

Six feet is the minimum safe distance for interactions with public servants like this one.

This ^ . Just brilliant and correct, yes.

I kinda wish I was a better person but I’m not and I laughed really hard at this.

          Should’ve been more like Republican politicians. You’re supposed to take the jab and not tell anyone about it, then poo poo it in public. He jumped right to the last step

          [–][deleted] 117 points118 points  (0 children)

          the thing is they dont believe thier republican politicians are vaccinated,even if they are they will come up with a conspiracy theory, that they were forced to vaccinate against thier will.

          [–]FunkyChewbacca 52 points53 points  (1 child)

          That's why none of the politicians or Fox News people are dying off: they're fully vaxxed in compliance with their employer mandate. The right wing radio DJs and their ilk are dying off in droves because they're not in on the grift.

            They do plan to show proper respect:

            He'll lie in state at the Capitol in Olympia, face down and naked--in case anyone would like to kiss his ass.

                    He would have had successful second career of spewing anti-vax garbage if he hadn’t have died from the disease he refused to get vaccinated for. That’s why Tucker Carlson got vaccinated you see.

                        It could well have been a lifesaving decision if he had embraced Inslee’s guidance rather than rejecting it like a spoiled child…

                        Your comment is making me think that the mandates have probably saved some lives. Too many people will only get vaccinated if they have to do it and for no other reason. Ugh. Can't say I like the idea of mandates but it seems the only way.

                        [–]PanickedPoodle 434 points435 points  (22 children)

                        About 70% of vaccine avoidant people will get vaxxed when there's a mandate with a meaningful consequence.

                        [–]Bekiala 128 points129 points  (15 children)

                        I hadn't heard that. It is encouraging to hear. Thanks.

                        In Quebec, once the province announced a vax pass would be necessary for in-person purchases of liquor and cannabis, appointments for first shots quadrupled vs previous weeks.

                                That's a good point.

                                I don't get the antivaxxers in that I don't care so much that I get sick but passing it to someone who passes it to someone who passes it to someone who dies or is disabled just gives me the willies.

                                    Mandates are why we don’t have Smallpox and polio. We had measles, mumps and rubella on the run, but they’re more contagious and Jenny McCarthy’s child was on the autism spectrum at the same time that the Internet became widespread.

                                    [–]Bekiala 54 points55 points  (2 children)

                                    Yes. I've seen epidemiologists saying that with today's misinformation we would never be able to get rid of small pox and polio like we did in the past.

                                    On a happy note, I understand polio was finally eradicated from Africa last year.

                                      I think you may well be right. If stopping at red traffic lights was not mandated I suspect that there would be a certain percentage of the population exercising their “right” to ignore them, which would not only endanger their lives but negatively impact public safety as well…

                                      [–]Bekiala 77 points78 points  (1 child)

                                      Yep. In spite of the part of the population that has oppositional defiance disorder, rules and regulations are preferable to anarchy.

                                            I live in Seattle and it was big news here when he did it.

                                            He tried to convert it into Fox News and other conservative gigs. Many photos of him maskless in public.

                                            He really owned us libs.

                                            (And he's younger than me. Let me sip my vodka as I figure out if it's Uber Eats or Postmates tonight. Yes, I know they're the same company.)

                                              The biggest douchebag I knew in high school became a cop. (After majoring in business administration in college.) I'm not on Facebook but I wonder if he shares this same fate.

                                              A year after high school, my best friend and I walk into this house party and he comes up to my friend and says, "What's up, Dwight, my ni----!" It was a record screech moment. Half of us were saying, "Dwight, hit him, we got your back." Everyone else was trying to explain to Brad why he was wrong but he wasn't hearing it. "Rap guys say that word all the time."

                                              So of course that guy becomes a cop.

                                                Holy shit, I knew that name sounded familiar so I had to look him up. This weirdo was my girlfriends boss like 14 years ago. I remember meeting him an immediately telling her he’s a complete whack job. I hated this dude the moment I met him

My body camera is never on when their is an altercation And also knows that he’s super strong and nearly bullet proof so covid is no worse than the flu. Boom covid is no joke to gaining angle wings in 2 weeks. Donate to my wife and kids because I use to be a cop and was in the army and was in Iraq. Lib owned. Did I miss anything.

                                                He's dead, but he was Manly about it. And that's very, very, very, very important. More so than life itself, apparently.

                                                  If you know anything about healthcare marketing when you market to men you actually market mens health to women, so they’ll get men to go to the doctor. Toxic masculinity literally kills us, it’s so stupid.

Mom 69, dad 75 pretty much had a cough for a couple days now back to normal. My brother 35 had a runny nose. I just don’t understand. I think I had it, I’m triple vaccinated and the only clue was Covid toe, otherwise I would have thought it was allergies with the runny nose.

                                                      I have it right now, boosted and all. If I was gonna get it even a LITTLE BIT worse than this without vax then the shots were worth it because it sucks.

                                                      I had original Covid in March 2020 I had what was called "mild" covid. Temperature was 99.1 F but stuffy nose, some cough, peed every ten minutes for some reason, couldn't smell or taste anything, horrible nightmares, very high heart rate then when recovering low heart rate. Got better over three months, no smell until November that year. Got triple vaccinated anyway don't ever want to go through that again.

                                                          Dang! I had it in March 2020 also and my symptoms almost exact same as yours. Fully vaxxed here too now. Luckily the vax seems to help a bit with my long covid. I’m slowly getting better.

That's never happened before, but I tested and nothing, even though we are in the same house with her sick. She was bad sick. I was worried.

He made his 20 years only 3 months before. He didn't finish the academy until he was 30. Looks like he was in a weekend program (took 2 years to finish).

                                                                                          He must have had a hard life. He was 50 and easily looked 10+ years older.

                                                                                          Plus after 20 years he was still riding a patrol car. It's not like he was climbing the ranks. He saw his performative outrage as the ticket to the spotlight. It lasted less than 3 months before he entered the hospital.

                                                                                                                            Then the right wing media machine realized they could get democrats to own the economic impact by making democrats own all the measures being used to limit, prevent, and manage the spread of the virus.

                                                                                                                            To do that they had to constantly downplay the virus to create the perception that all the measures being implemented are democrat fear mongering needlessly harming the economy and subversively making the public more dependent on government to implement socialism.

                                                                                                                            When the vaccines came around it was just as after the election…widespread motivation to get the vaccine and high compliance with the vaccine would have resulted in dramatic drops in Covid infections and spread and potentially a rapid economic recovery…which would make the Biden administration look successful. Since they knew they could not convince democrats to not get the vaccine…they decided to convince their own voters. Assuming he loss of like would be far less than the loss of political support for Biden as the economy continued to suffer from Covid well into his administration.
