Liberal country singer Chely Wright proudly putting her family on lockdown is not only insane, but it reeks of privileged 'hyper-virtue signaling'

This time last year, we were still marveling over the incredible and awe-inspiring rapidity with which COVID19 vaccines were developed and made available. It was a big deal, because vaccines held the promise of a return to some semblance of normalcy.

Well, Democrats haven’t been as excited about that part as one might’ve hoped. The prospect of having to relinquish control and give people their lives back is terrifying to our government overlords. Fortunately, the government can still count on some people totally buying into their doom-and-gloom campaign.

People like country singer and LGBT activist Chely Wright:

Okay, it’s official.

Our household is on lockdown. No one leaves and no one enters.

We are all vaccinated to the hilt, yes, but we will not be part of contracting or spreading another variant. #NYC #lockdown

It’s worth noting that Wright suffered a stroke a few years back, and it’s entirely possible that she has lingering health issues that could put her at higher risk if she were to contract COVID. The thing is that because she’s been “vaccinated to the hilt,” she’s in a very good position to make it through a case of COVID relatively OK. If anyone’s anti-vaxx here, it’s Wright.

And not only is Wright anti-vaxx, but she’s woefully out of touch. If she thinks her tweet makes her look like she’s showing solidarity with so many other Americans, she’s wrong.

Respectfully, Chely, you are free to make whatever choice to keep you and your family safe. But please keep in mind your economic privilege which allows you to do so, while so many others who don’t will be working mail, delivery, retail, etc. allowing you to lockdown comfortably.

The overt privilege of being able to tweet this.

Also, the “trust the science” crowd does anything but https://t.co/Dy1gAhW8Bs

Not everyone has the luxury of just shutting down their families’ lives.

I’m fully vaxxed and got COVID previously.

It’s time to move on with life.

Lockdowns don’t stop it.

They prolong it.

It’s shit or get off the pot time. https://t.co/25rkgvdjak

Omicron is spreading. That’s just what happens with some highly contagious viruses. Locking your family inside indefinitely isn’t going to stop it.

What can help to get everyone through this is doing things like getting vaccinated if you can and understanding that omicron is not a death sentence — and that no matter how badly you want them to, people are not going to stay away from each other forever.

Wright’s hysteria is exactly the sort of hysteria she thinks she’s standing against.

Have you considered just wearing a bubble suit?

Are you having someone deliver food? That seems dangerous. Better to grow your own garden instead. Don’t risk contact. https://t.co/1ZQpWoaYLo

Wow. What a hero. 🙄 https://t.co/dJNsYvqhnf

Chely Wright thinks she’s some kind of heroine. She’s not stunning and brave for barricading herself and her family inside forever.

It only makes sense to those whose brains have been broken.

The mass hysteria is now incorporating hyper-virtue signaling. It is though there’s a competition to prove you’re the most safe or the most considerate or the most thoughtful or the most vigilant. None of this is normal. None of it. https://t.co/ieJ0PRhX5T
