We’re not quite sure what’s going on here. There’s a story at The Atlantic right now entitled, “How to Socialize Safely in the Booster Era,” but Twitchy favorite Ahmed Al Assliken has a screenshot of a different headline:
Ahmed Al Assliken ~ JFC ... This is fucking insane!
It looks like The Atlantic might have changed the headline, because the piece does include the line, “Is it still safe to hang out with someone who is vaccinated but not boosted?” It’s quite the conundrum:
As the weather gets colder in much of the country and people bring more of their socializing indoors, this variety of vaccination histories introduces questions Americans didn’t previously have to deal with. Is it still safe to hang out with someone who is vaccinated but not boosted? Can unvaccinated little kids safely spend time with unboosted adults? And will the new coronavirus variant, Omicron, further complicate the risk calculus of an already complicated winter?
Unvaccinated little kids around unboosted adults? The horror!
Faye Hausendorff ~ Well, we all knew this was coming. If you don't have a booster, you're unvaccinated. The goalposts keep changing.
At this point, if someone doesn't want to associate with me because I'm not "boosted," I'm fine with them being out of my life altogether.
InTheRightColumn ~ Also reads as: "Why my booster doesn't actually work."
AdamInHTownTX (LGBFJB+ Supporter) ~ Just wait til the Branch COVIDians are counting the number of boosters you've had.
NR ~ The conservative case for mindlessly accepting what the government tells you and taking boosters every four months.
Tsukkomi ~ It’s not The Andromeda Strain, ffs.
Dead Pilled ~ The triple jabbed are turning on the double jabbed.
Imagine that?! No matter how many jabs you may have had, you ain't "vaccinated" unless Fauci sez you is "vaccinated," right? Sorta like you ain't "black" unless Gropey Joe sez you is "black."
Ryan the rebel millennial ~ This aged well ...
Didn’t it? Just mask for 100 days and it’ll be over.
Spartan Metalhead ~ Just keeeeeeeeeep moving those goalposts!
Mr.Fox ~ No it’s not ok to hang out with us, please stay away.
AstrO ~ We socialize now the same way we socialized a week ago, a month ago, a year ago.
Vaccinated or not, get out and live your lives people.
Some people will keep fear mongering and moving goal posts. That isn't reality.
Brian Neely ~ Joe, have you noticed that there’s not one positive comment to this 3 hours later? (I read them all. They were hilarious!) Sometimes it’s not everyone else Joe. Sometimes it’s you. Come back to the real world my man.
standfourth ~ Is this satire? If it is satire, it is rather humorless. If this is a serious piece, you need to reexamine your ability of basic risk assessment.
DerekNotAway ~ Imagine living your life glued to people’s vaccination status. Oh the hard life of a white liberal.
RandAlThor ~ You should stop writing about families, parenting and relationships. You’re bad at it and provide terrible advice. Seek help ... or stay in your basement, alone please.
Poor ol' Joe Pinsker of The Atlantic just hasn't figured out how to win friends and influence people.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
