I think they’re idiotic, aggressive, indoctrinated, right-wing cooks.

The same thing I think of people who call others “sheep” for not wearing a mask and not getting vaccinated. It’s immature name-calling on both sides.

I figure they listen to Fox spews and read the Epuke Times. Putin’s patsies.
I do not need to associate with them

I think they are stupid and obnoxious. Calling people “sheep” what sort of argument is that?

Smashley's avatar

It’s funny how Christianity is all about shephards, but somehow being a sheep is a bad thing?

I hate name-calling of any kind.

I call them douche-bags.

I’m fine wearing the label. After all, the goal is “flock” immunity. And none have managed thus far to wallow in their contempt as I continue to graze atop their graves.

They are bbbbbaaad.

I’ve personally never been called that. If I am, I’ll just say that I’m a critical care physician and I’ve seen a lot of Covid death and I have PTSD. Then I will stare them down.

Idiots. Worse, not really idiots but deplorable trump followers playing politics.

At least I would be a live sheep rather than a dead one.

I think it shows a deep lack of understanding about how the virus is spread, and what measures are necessary to keep ourselves and others from catching Covid or passing it to others. In other words ignorance.

I think the use of the word sheep comes from a place of fear. Fear that they’re not in control of things.

They need to create an idea of other, in order to identify themselves as being apart.

I think it’s very telling when people use it. So, in that sense, I find it to be a useful word.

I think that people worry too much about branding others. And like @smudges saidn(GA BTW), it goes both ways. And people worry too much what strangers say about them. I don’t let complete strangers define who I am.

The answer is simple. They are immature fools.

They obviously care nothing for the safety and lives of others and also themselves, especially their family, friends and other loved ones

They appear happy to catch it themselves and pass it on to others who could end up seriously ill, with Long Covid or even death.

This virus has already killed millions and will continue to do so unless or until the Governments of the world start enforcing mask wearing for everyone.

Even those who have difficulty breathing can wear protective masks which will allow them to breath normally. They need the plastic masks that are worn which cover their entire face including their eyes, nose and mouth.

My wife has COPD and she will not go out without this type of mask on and it does not prevent or hinder her breathing one bit.

There are 1000s of people throughout the world who refused to wear masks or get vaccinated and have ended up getting the virus and it cost many of them their lives.

We know wearing protective masks and getting the vaccine does not prevent infection but it cuts down the risk and those who have had the ‘jabs’ are much, much less likely to have serious effects if they catch Covid.

I figure they are in religious circles that promote that idea. Also, likely they listen to Fox News.

We think they are being sheep, they think we are being sheep.

Overall, I think the same psychological methods are being used on all sides of politics to manipulate people.

We’ve just recently encountered a hepatitis outbreak on children which some conspiracy theorists associate with the pandemic.

Childishly ignorant. I don’t understand why it bothers them. If they don’t like it I welcome them to pay all my medical insurance and any bills and should I become very ill if I caught covid would they offer to pay all cost to myself and my family. If they say why should they then I would say then why should I listen to you since you don’t pay any of my stuff. Put your money where your mouth is.
