When the vaccine receives FDA approval, it may then be mandated. Would you take it?

They are now fast tracking this vaccine for FDA approval which would free up governments to mandate it because it would no longer be considered experimental. If that happened, would you take it?
 

We got our Moderna shots earlier this year. When this pandemic was reaching epic levels, late last year, we quickly decided that getting vaccinated was a far better option than taking our chances every time we ventured out of the house.

Those who chose to Not get vaccinated will probably be among those who wind up in hospitals and graveyards, cause chaotic conditions in hospitals, and soaring disruptions to the economy...in which case the governments would have major incentives to initiate strict rules.
 

There's no way the government could mandate it in the U.S. without our country breaking out into a civil war, but other countries might. Businesses could mandate it here, as they have been, such as hospitals and restaurants. That's only going to compound the worker shortage problem, but so would workers getting sick and dying from covid-19 if businesses didn't mandate them to get vaccinated.

So I guess it is as it should be. Establishments have the option to mandate vaccinations among their workers and with the current worker shortage, they can go to work for other businesses that don't have a mandate if they so choose. Personally, I wouldn't go to a hospital or restaurant that didn't have a vaccine mandate. It's not worth the risk. Since I'm vaccinated, I probably wouldn't get too sick or sick at all, even if I got covid-19, but I don't want to get it, and there's no good reason for me to risk it since there are options that don't carry that risk.
 
Too late, I did take it.

IMO it would not be an earthshattering requirement.

My state already requires children to be vaccinated for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and pneumococcal disease.

The Tennessee Department of Health will halt all adolescent vaccine outreach – not just for coronavirus, but all diseases – amid pressure from Republican state lawmakers, according to an internal report and agency emails obtained by the Tennessean. If the health department must issue any information about vaccines, staff are instructed to strip the agency logo off the documents.

Tennessee abandons vaccine outreach to minors — not just for COVID-19
 
Government mandated vaccinations are a slippery slope to the kind of totalitarian government on display in The Handmaiden’s Tale. I doubt the women living under those conditions believe that the government knows what’s best for them and their bodies. If the U.S. mandates COVID vaccinations, we are a hop, skip and a jump away.
 
And here is why a mandate may be coming sooner rather than later:

“This virus is so contagious, this variant is so contagious ... that most people will either get vaccinated or have been previously infected or they will get this delta variant,” Scott Gottlieb warned in an interview on “Face the Nation” on CBS.

“And for most people who get this delta variant, it’s going to be the most serious virus that they get in their lifetime in terms of the risk of putting them in the hospital,” he added.

Yes, and "Get your flu shot early because this year's flu epidemic is going to be the worst yet." :ROFLMAO:

When did you ever hear any medical professional actually say that about the flu, Win?

And what does the flu have to do with the Covid vaccine, anyway? This disease is not the flu. As far as I know, people haven't died of the flu by the millions in one season since the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918. The two diseases aren't really comparable, except to those who for some reason are stubbornly clinging to the fiction that Covid is really not such a big deal. And encouraging the easily led down the garden path to a horrible illness, and in many cases, the likelihood of death. (I can remember when Covid first started, hearing claims that it's just a mild illness that will pass in a few months at the most, just pay no attention to it, folks. Masks aren't necessary, they just make you look weak and probably don't make any difference anyway. The vaccine is more dangerous than the illness. And it's perfectly OK to assemble in large crowds. Rallies, sports events, large indoor weddings, etc. are safe, all these doctors are lying to you.)

If the government is trying to protect us as much as possible, and keep us alive and healthy, they are "forcing" us to take "poison," and are behaving like a totalitarian regime. The government should just keep its nose out of our desire to kill ourselves and lots of others.

And it's interesting to see that you find this a funny subject. What is wrong with you?

I haven't seen win231 being funny. He, like me has a different point of view. Again, I see nothing wrong with that.
I'll say, what I find Ironic (possibly funny) is anyone believing that a government cares about you. Seems to me that governments like power and more and more control. Now that we are elderly and no longer putting large amounts of tax dollars into govt. coffers, and instead, are draining things like medical resources, it would stand to reason that, in a perfect world, countries would be better off without us old folks.
For more than a year +, there has yet been a definitive answer to this virus. Lies and half truths have been told from all sides of the political spectrum.

Unfortunately, it seems that the vast majority of those now getting this virus are those who are in their "prime" working years, AND have Not gotten vaccinated. Months ago, this virus took its toll on the elderly...mostly in senior care facilities....and now those we need to help sustain the economy are the one's suffering the most.

During several past flu "Epidemics," dramatic TV ads showing crowded ER waiting rooms, doctors have said "This year's flu season is the worst yet, so get your flu shot." They haven't advertised the flu shot much in the past few years; people have wised up & the ads aren't working.
I don't really find Covid a "Funny" subject. I find you much more amusing.
What is wrong with me? Perhaps I'm not as "Educated" as you are. What is wrong with you being a programmed robot?

Win,

Who was sponsoring these commercials?

They didn't say, but they're probably sponsored by everyone who profits.

Thank you.

I was curious because I've not seen tv ads for getting flu shots. Of course I haven't had broadcast tv for nearly 12 years. One of the area grocery stores with a pharmacy really goes crazy with gas savings and print ads, so it must be quite the revenue generator.

I haven't seen a flu shot ad in the past 2 years. Now, they're advertising the Gardasil vaccine for 10-12 year olds & the Meningitis vaccine.

But we, the old folks, were given the vax first! It saved untold lives.
