Now I know you are stupid, given the choice why would you not want this over? You're self aware enough to guard yourself from the side effects but not enough to guard yourself from a potentially fatal virus.
For once, a considerate/decent post from you. [sarcasm]
Why don't you give the bashing the skunk thing a rest?
Isn't this the season for tolerance?

It's the old and overworked first.
Then the young and dumb.
I live a hikikomori/hermit lifestyle.
Heck, I even look like one with my wild bushy beard and long hair.
The chances of me catching the virus are extremely slim.
I can afford to wait and see what happens to other people.
Please don't think I am an anti-vaxer.
I am 100% for it and will eventually get the inoculation at some point.
Also, here in Australia, we all can wait since we are an island continent and have the world's best practices in regard to contact tracing.

Let the elderly get them first, because obviously older people are worthless and if they die no one will care. 
I even considered the possibility that the cee cee pee designed a virus to do just that.
I.E. To get rid of excess "useless" old people, while having virtually no effect on the "useful" young.
They have a population problem, after all.
I wouldn't put it passed them.

@ 46, some would consider you old, already.
I am older than you but I don't consider myself old, especially since my health is good.

Nursing homes are horrible places where the seniors get beaten or left to die in their own filth. They're just as bad today as the insane asylums were back in the 19th century. I still have dreams of being put in a home and losing control over my body where I can't move, talk, or even chew food properly.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.
Humanity, as a species, stinks to high heaven.
True, dat.
If/when I get to that point, I'll kark myself.
But in the meantime, I have enough wealth to hire a personal nurse, at home, if I need to, or want to.
But there comes a point where enough is enough, of this ugly life system.

I just got off the phone with the molecular biology PhD who raised me, we talked vaccines for almost a half hour. What I do know is that you're not deserving of any 'tolerance' for potentially wilfully carrying an indiscriminately fatal contagious disease. It's no different than if I were to decide not to quarantine after being exposed.
Quarantining does not amount to source control biologically. I have a similar lifestyle when I'm not at work; this is not an excuse to expose anyone. You expressed no deference to medical science which easily might save your life, but we don't know whose funeral that is.

Moot point.
We don't have any vaccines here in Australia and the PM says he/we aren't going to rush it.
He said exactly the same thing as I did.
We, here in Australia, can afford to wait and see how the vaccine works out.
Mate, get over your skunk-hating problem.
It has been going on for over 3 years now.

Well that's a disservice to the entire neighbouring planet. There are more vaccines in development & four released. It's not as if you don't have options already.
What you're saying is no less problematic than Jairo Bolsinaro insisting that the inoculation will turn you into a crocodile. You're delaying the effect that will preserve the global economy. I'm sure thousands if not millions of people with your same allergies will get the shot before you.

Sorry to go off-topic but I'm just curious - who is bashing skunks and does it mean what I think it means (hating the animal)? Am I missing something?
