Angry at the unvaccinated? Here's a better way

Yes. And exactly what are YOU gonna do about it? That's what I wanna know
I'm gonna thank my lucky stars I don't have to deal with you on an "in person" basis. I see enough of those where I work already. But then, perhaps you are one of them .... never know.
 
I long for the good old days, when government actually wanted its citizens to live, and demanded polio, smallpox, and other vaccines for public safety purposes.

Well, if you want Little Susie to enter kindergarten, she better have her five DPT shots, preferably by the time she’s two years old.

I hope you realize that post made no sense whatsoever.

Okay, I’ll try again:

Government still wants its citizens to live, thus requiring them to get vaccines in order to enter school.

Sorry if I confused you.

And the drunk driving analogy works again.

Are some people immune to being hit by drunk drivers? :rolleyes: Should we be tolerant of drunk drivers? Yes or no? If no, why not? If yes, why?
First, I think the analogy is fallible as people CHOOSE to get drunk and then drive, whereas almost no one chooses to get infected by a virus. People are still FREE to drive drunk and accept the consequences. But to continue this argument, how many people drive drunk and do not kill someone? Happens way too often. Last night there were a lot of drunk drivers out on the road and I survived just fine. Did they affect me in any way? No. How many people drive drunk and only hurt themselves? Happens way more often. You know what? There were a lot of very tired drivers out on the road who were just as much threat as the drunk drivers. Should we socially and physically punish all who are not 100% capable of driving safely? People drive all the time with their cell phone in hand and are more of a threat than the drunk drivers. Mechanical failures happen all the time. Should we make mandates that cover all the possible threats on the road? No one would be able to drive as no one can 100% guarantee they won't cause an accident. The burden for your safety has to fall on your shoulders and you have to be vigilant to avoid external threats as much as possible. That includes not getting covid. You can protect yourself from getting covid and don't need a government waging another war that it can't possibly win to protect you from a virus. Accept the responsibility for your own life and do not risk putting your safety and livelihood in the hands of a government that has a very poor record of success in pretty much everything it touches.

As I keep saying, we can, the government can lead people to water, and so can all well meaning souls, but they can't nor should they demand they drink the water.
The authors of the article above explains why force, bullying, name-calling won't work. It's just good judgement and common sense that you dont.




Continued via the link above.
Biden is not a good leader. A good leader knows how to get buy in from his team. In this case that’s us, everyday Americans. Biden lacks that ‘lead us into battle’ skills which frankly is why we don’t listen to him. It’s a respect thing and Biden doesn’t have it from America.

Biden is not the one.
 
Covidiots have been coddled for months.

All this whining about liberals being meanies wont change things at all. We need to increase pressure and make being unvaccinated unpleasant. No restaurants, bars, public gatherings without proof of vaccination. Why are we letting unvaxxxed people on airplanes? Health insurance regulations should be relaxed and insurers should be able to charge higher premiums for unvaxxed.

It’s time to stop coddling these selfish, ignorant assholes.
Snap to it. Send me the white paper on this. I need a good laugh this morning
 
Why is Ok for us to die from potential side effects of the vaccine but it’s not Ok for us to die of Covid ? 🤨
 
There are nearly 10 million cancer deaths annually. Perhaps if the government tackled it with the same amount of fervent urgency as they have for covid we may have beaten down that stat significantly. Of course the counter argument will be: "Cancer isn't contagious." That's true, but the point you made is over the number of deaths from covid (which globally amounts to .00006 of the population). If it's about deaths then there are plenty of other diseases more worthy of your attention, but they won't give the government the same opportunity to control the sheep. They can't shout from the towers: "The sky is falling!" because we've gotten use to the deaths from other diseases. Covid is a new crisis which they can take advantage of. Fortunately, their attempts to do so are starting to come back to bite them in the ass. People are starting to see through their bs (aka the chicken little routine).
The number of Covid deaths continues to rise. What you fail to acknowledge is that this pandemic isn't a bunch of isolated instances of disease, there is no average number of deaths we can cite because it's still too soon to collate data. Other diseases have not killed over five million in a little over two years. Your whining about 'sheep' applies to you too. You pay your annual mandatory tax demand do you not, or are you going to back up your principles regarding authoritarian control and refuse to pay?

Those adverse side effects are so rare as to be statistically insignificant. You're more likely to get run down by a truck. In the study mentioned below, of 20 million vaccines administered in Britain, nine (9), people sadly lost their lives from blood clots. You do the maths.
 
Our daughter, age 27, resisted and resisted, taught much the same as yours. Eventually she caught COVID, delta I'd think based on the timing, said it wasn't any worse than her usual seasonal allergies.
Now, with natural immunity, so doesn't have to be vaccinated. 🤷‍♂️
Ignorance personified. 'Natural immunity' is fleeting; measured in months, and diminishes over time. Complacency kills; get vaccinated.
Quote: "An NIH study found "durable immune response" up to eight months after infection".

Poor comparison. I get something in return for paying taxes.

I just cited the annual death rates from cancer - a disease -- being around 10 mil. Are you seriously gonna deflect from that fact?

I beg to differ with you. Average death rates from covid are available.
 
***Grin*** can't you just see them railing for people to pay for their own STD treatments - remembering HIV is an STD?
They can't think and/or see past the current crisis to understand the illogic of their pov.

I see .. so government is guaranteeing, which they have, that receiving the vaccinations provides 100% immunity to COVID. Is that your viewpoint?

Show me proof there are hospital floors of people on ventilators suffering from taking the vaccine and ultimately dying.

My viewpoint is we’re still coming to understand how this virus affects the body, but we know at a minimum that it kills and damages the organs of large numbers of Americans. So there’s a trade off between what we know this virus does and what we know and don’t know about these vaccines. It’s a trade off I’m personally willing to accept, just as a full regimen of shots and boosters, including four DPT boosters, into the arms of their children by the time they reach two years of age is something almost every American parent accepts.
 
Tried everything - but the truth.
And therein lies the problem. You guys think you know the truth and that everybody else must be wrong. Hence the incorrect assessments I mentioned.
 
First, I think the analogy is fallible as people CHOOSE to get drunk and then drive, whereas almost no one chooses to get infected by a virus. People are still FREE to drive drunk and accept the consequences.
No, it works. The parallel is that no one chooses to get in an accident/no one chooses to get sick.

And both of those occur because of bad decisions: to get drunk/not to get the shot.

Happens way too often. Last night there were a lot of drunk drivers out on the road and I survived just fine. Did they affect me in any way? No. How many pe

Accept the responsibility for your own life and do not risk putting your safety and livelihood in the hands of a government that has a very poor record of success in pretty much everything it touches.
And for the rest, it's kind of a mess but then it seems that you believe that it should be legal to drink and drive, is that correct? That's what all your excuses imply. It's a lie that you can protect yourself from drunk drivers...you can take precautions it's far from 100%. Same for being exposed to the infection...no 100%

So in both cases the person making the bad decision is a danger to others.
 
So that makes it okay for you to single out a certain political group for ridicule? How's that working for you? Changed any DP anti-vaxxers minds lately?
Yeah, they deserve ridicule at this point. Working great for me. No, not even trying to. these ****s are wastes of oxygen at this point.

Damages the organs of large numbers of Americans? Would love to see some insights into these "large numbers" that have damaged organs. If we are still coming to an understanding how the virus affects us, then why are leaders, like Biden, proclaiming if we get the vaccination, we are safe (which isn't true btw)? How many of the "large numbers" of deaths died from COVID as opposed to with COVID, as the CDC director is still unable to answer. In fact, she's recently stated that roughly 75% of deaths were older individuals with 4+ comorbidities (not to mention some car accidents and gun shot victims who died were counted as well).
