A new COVID-19 mutation more contagious than Delta

AGREE that this is due to Sheep Mentality.
Those who choose to not get vaccinated gain confidence in their decision by others who make the same decision. Consequently, those who do choose to get vaccinated shake the confidence of those who do.

Realistically, those who are unvaccinated don't have much confidence in the decision, though they don't directly admit it. They do indirectly admit it by criticizing those who do get vaccinated. If they had confidence in being unvaccinated they wouldn't be concerned because their unvaccinated status would be adequate protection against this virus.

The proof that you are 100% mistaken is as obvious as a neon sign:
Most people who choose not to get vaccinated (like myself) have no problem with those who choose to get vaccinated. I have driven elderly friends to get their vaccinations. I don't feel threatened by anyone who chooses to be vaccinated.

Lol, I used to buy a Norton anti-virus disc every year until 2004, that's when I dumped Windows and switched to using Linux on my computers.
...no more virus worries, no more "anti-virus" expenses and headache. I guess that makes me a [computer]anti-vaxxer! 😜

You are entitled to your opinion. As am I.
The usual suspects align in the usual ways.

Peace out.
 
I wouldn't call myself an anti-vaxer by any definition. I decided to isolate in January 2020 when I read the first medical papers coming out of Wuhan about what SarsCov2 is.

We don't have medical insurance or a doctor here in France which is becoming impossible to get, as so many have quit practicing or have stopped taking on any new patients.

My husband went to the military hospital nearby when he needed treatment for his infected ingrown toenail and we just paid for it when they billed us by mail. We are not in the free gov. medical system here either. My understanding is that we don't qualify to get a vaccination because we aren't registered in the government medical system.

So I have done due diligence, we don't have people in and I never go out, not snce January of 2020. Groceries are delivered. We did have one month or so of no groceries over first lockdown, I had predicted that and so we survived on canned, dried foods and powdered milk. It wasn't too bad.

So, not everyone can have a vaccine and I in no way feel intimidated or blame those who do have it.

Everyone stay safe please, vaxed or unvaxed. Bless you all.

Having a job, unfortunately is not a freedom or an entitlement, or a right. Going to a job is not a freedom or a right. Employers have a dress code and apparently a vaccination code. Employers get to make the rules. It has always been this way. Follow the rules or find another job. Freedom of choice still exist. Take the vaccine or don’t. Your choice.

Yes, life is hard. During the Great Depression there was no pandemic, but there was a massive loss of jobs, mortgages, homes, lives, and no access to food for many. Farmers plowed crops under while Americans by the thousands starved and waited in food lines for a cup of soup.

JC said something to the effect that “the poor will always be among us”. 😱. Well, he nailed that one.

And I am not the one who brought up football games etc. @Becky1951

Yes and those pushing the vaccine mandate is happy to help it along. :rolleyes:

That works both ways. 🤣

It certainly does.

Way #1: The intelligent, the educated (oh dear, Win, I said the e word again!), the realistic, sane, considerate, caring, non-suicidal people who are living in the current century, and want to see the world return to normal ASAP, or

Way #2: Those who have managed to convince themselves to reject the dangers we are living in the midst of, tauntingly inviting a plague to come and get them, denying the truth, making up ridiculous statistics that nobody in their right mind would believe, because they would rather have this pandemic continue forever, and think they are impressing anybody by strutting around proclaiming how superior they are.

It's hard to tell which side of the fence you're sitting on. To coin a worn out phrase: Amazing how that works both way isn't it!

People have valid reasons not to get vaccinated... no one is listening. Just as people have valid reasons for others to get vaccinated.

John Eyers thought he had a valid reason for not getting the vaccine. He was a fitness nut (bodybuilding & mountain climbing) and no underlying conditions at age 42.

She [his sister] can’t remember how the argument about the Covid vaccine started. “John started saying really crazy things that didn’t make sense,” she says. “About how people were only getting the vaccine for free McDonald’s, and there was formaldehyde in it.” The rest of the family remonstrated with him, pulling out their phones to factcheck what he was saying. But John was unmoving. “He kept saying: ‘I won’t be a guinea pig.’”

Then to his surprise he got infected.

And John had no choice but to accept the Herman Cain Godfather Pizza Award.

The difference is, a dress code does not have an effect on an employee's health. A vaccine does.

You are wrong. Dress codes, in certain occupations, can and do have an effect on an employees health, usually for the better; as in hard hats in a construction zone, ear guards in a war zone, spike boots when climbing trees and on and on and on.

Ballerinas must wear toe shoes and toe shoes have a negative effect on feet, high heel shoes are usually worn by models and are very negative on a woman’s feet. Carrying a full pack while running five-ten miles in any military can wreak your back.

You are wrong @win231 so wrong.

So nice to hear that you have friends 😊
 
The anti vaxxers are in the minority. They will have no choice but to comply with sensibility if they wish to participate in communities where they live.

On the other hand, they can build a wall around themselves and live in their homes, for the rest of their lives! See how long they last!!!

Another denier who peddled misinformation about the vaccine has succumbed to COVID-19. Sounds familiar? Like many birds of a feather, he called it "experimental" even though it had full approval of the FDA.

"Prominent Christian televangelist and anti-vaccine advocate Marcus Lamb died after being hospitalized with Covid-19, his family announced Tuesday."

Marcus Lamb often spoke out against the Covid-19 vaccines on his show. In an episode earlier this year featuring anti-vaccine activists Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Del Bigtree, Lamb said the Covid-19 vaccine was "not really a vaccine," but an "an experimental shot" that was "dangerous. Marcus Lamb alleged that people were dying or having neurological disorders from the vaccine.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/01/media/marcus-lamb-covid-death/index.html

He had "good" reasons for not getting the vaccine. 🤷‍♂️

@StarSong , I see you're getting the I-know-it-all-and you're-wrong treatment from one of the usual suspects. It's like hitting your thumb with a hammer, feels much better when you stop! 😜 I'm taking a couple days off, so it's all up to you. 😉

Still smarting from the Rittenhouse chat, huh? Don't feel bad. Nobody is always right. :giggle:

I think that all the variants on the horizon may keep unvax and vax people home. There are signs at some stores I go to require mask for vaccinated and un-vaccinated shoppers. I highly doubt I will be home bound and if so, I'm ok with that.

It was not an insult. I have early dementia, was diagnosed in my 50’s. It is not Alzheimer’s. It a type of dementia that abused children get due to the fact that the abuse causes their brains not to grow correctly. The diagnosis was made by a neurologist at the UofU.

Having said that, which matters not to you, I don’t take it back. You said you didn’t understand something that was easy to understand. If your comment was part of your sarcasm, then it should have been clearer than it was. I took you seriously.

I told a friend at the apartment who I saw almost fall while walking that she should use a walker or cane. She explained that she had an ankle issue and didn’t need either. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I offered to give her one of mine, either one or both. She refused. 😡

I said she was being another stubborn old woman. Yup, she was insulted. So what? We talked a little more, she agreed she was being stubborn (and she is old and a woman 😂). I had her best interest in mind when I suggested she needed a walking aid. I had your best interest in mind when I suggested you might get checked out.


No apology to her. No apology to you. But feel free to insult me, husband does it all the time-it’s water off a duck‘s back. And if I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t have suggest you see someone, just saying.

I don't need to see anyone...my mind is sharper than a razor blade :love:
Sorry to hear your hubby insults you - you don't deserve it.
