People who refuse the vaccine for reasons other than preexisting medical conditions, should be required to wave hospital treatment for COVID.

If you're going to shun free safeguards, you should be required to pay for the consequences of your defiance out of your own pocket.
The burden these people are unnecessarily placing on our healthcare system and the economic toll of their recklessness on a nation already devastated from the past 18 months is unconscionable. If you want to take a stand against vaccines, then take it on your own shoulders.
And before you hit me with "I though you were about compassion" nonsense: I have compassion for children, for the immunocompromised, for vulnerable communities, for healthcare workers, for tens of millions of people doing all they can to protect themselves and others.
This is not simply a "pandemic of the unvaccinated."

These people are spreading the virus, draining our economy, taxing our hospitals, limiting our freedoms, creating restrictions, and taking our hard-earned progress backwards by ignoring an available remedy.
No one wants anyone to get sick or die. That’s the point. That’s why we’re begging you to take the free vaccine. If you trust Science and medicine, then trust them. If you don’t, then don’t. We’re an interdependent community. We could be through this but we aren’t. It’s a waste.

.@RealCandaceO proudly says her entire family refuses to be vaccinated.
Families like hers are why families like ours did everything to protect ourselves/others from the virus & still got it.
They are why America will never get out of this.

It is either a sign that you are selfish or uninformed or that you simply lack compassion: to witness the unthinkable suffering and death we've come through, and to politically posture in the face of Science and empathy for others.
The doctor who tested us said that people refusing the vaccine are the single greatest ally the deadly variants could have, and the reason thousands, perhaps millions of people will get sick and die needlessly. Super job, Candace. Hope the follows were worth it.

One of the big takeaways from our COVID journey is to get your children tested immediately if they have symptoms.

The doctor who tested our daughter said we were the first positive child case in his clinic "...not because she's the first to get the virus here" he said, "but because parents don't bring their children in and get them tested."
By verifying her positive quickly, we set off the alarm for our family, began quarantine, and helped avoid inadvertently spreading the virus to hundreds of people before we developed symptoms.

OUR COVID NEWS:

Hello Friends.

Two weeks ago, we took a family trip.

Three-quarters of us had been fully vaccinated since April with the Pfizer shot, with the exception being our 11-year old.
We'd been super diligent for a year and half and were hopeful we could finally begin doing some normal things, and left for our first family vacation since lockdown began.

This week has been rough.

Give me something you're grateful for, something that gave you joy, or something that simply made life better.
The other day my 15-year old popped open his bedroom door and said, "Wanna go grab lunch?"

He gives me joy.
Officiating a beach wedding for a friend on my birthday (Tuesday) and since my son's birthday is Sunday, we're making a family trip of it. First family trip post quarantine.

.@SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi the good people of this nation worked tirelessly for four years and showed up for you and gave you a mandate at the polls—and you are failing us.
Mitch McConnell is having his way right now.

If you're upset at this tweet, maybe you should be upset by that, instead.
No one has been more supportive of the Democrats than me since the previous guy ran in 2016. I'll be doing everything I can to make sure they keep control of Congress and the WH, but that doesn't make them exempt from criticism. These days are critical and we need fighters.

Stop asking for a bipartisan investigation of the January 6th terrorist attack on the Capitol. The attack was partisan. That was the whole point.
Start asking what non-Republican America is going to do about it.
