How far should we go? Should we shot the people who are anti-vaxers? There has to be a point where we stop. In case anyone remembers we were told that we live in a free country. Now, no one remembers this. The current trend seems to be forcing everyone to follow the politically correct. Oh, I have both of my shots but I miss the days when I lived in a free country! We were told that the Canada-US border is the world's longest undefended border. Just try to cross it and you will find out how undefended it is. There are a lot of people who want to shut everything down if the government is going to give them "free" money. That is too bad as there are many really poor people around the world who depend on income that is generated by the tourist trade. We are in a mess and it will take some time to fix this economic mess.
And we were told, "Just get vaccinated so we can get back to normal."
He said to them "when we all get vaccinated". What makes him a quack for believing, a year ago, getting vaxxed would get a person out of a mask?It's what the CDC and the government said. Explain this please?
Uh....maybe re-read? I didn't say anyone was vaccinated a year ago.
I have never understood this 'free country' crappola. You have rules and regs on everything in your daily life. Osha governs the workplace with thousands of regs. You have traffic laws, mandatory schooling up to a certain age. People have to be licensed or certified to perform hundreds of different jobs. You have to pay taxes. You have laws that force you to mow your lawn in certain locales.
No. Getting the blood test won't help the decision. Why? Because no one knows what 'number' you have to have as far as antibodies to be 'reasonably protected'. The data isn't there. You'll get a nice piece of paper showing your test results, but no one can tell you how well covered you are.
Thank you. Certain people don't understand how societies and civilization work, they think (like spoiled, undisciplined children) that they don't have to tow the line, or do anything that doesn't benefit only themselves. The internet has given such spoiled, undisciplined children the ability to ban together and get loud and unruly, and to share and cultivate their spoiled, undisciplined attitudes.
Best post yet in all the back-and-forth on vaccine mandates!
It's experimental.
Non, I would like to get him on my boat, throw him overboard and watch the frail little thing do a belly flap (bet he can’t swim), before feeding him to the sharks who won’t want him anywayBe careful @win231 she might like that.
Maybe they have turned them off and enjoy taking their time getting to a fire or crime scene now.
I don't believe in the mandate. But I don't say that people who want to shouldn't get vaccinated (eg: I'm not an anti-vaxer). Regardless of the percentage of municipal workers, including fire and police officers, less is less. I doubt NYC can afford to have less of those critical jobs staffed. As @Pepper noted, already she's gone from hearing sirens and more sirens to hearing none. Some places have instituted a mandatory weekly COVID test for those who are not vaccinated. I like that option better. And as @chic pointed out...drug companies may be off the hook for being sued in case there are any adverse reactions to the vaccine, although I thought once the vaccines were approved, that would change immediately and not a wait until 2025.
That's contempt. Contempt for one another should have no place in friendly discussion forum.Non, I would like to get him on my boat, throw him overboard and watch the frail little thing do a belly flap (bet he can’t swim), before feeding him to the sharks who won’t want him anyway
