As we all know, getting the vaccine is the only thing that can keep us safe and prosperous.

But as with everything human, ignorance abounds. Some folks simply will not get the shot.

I'd like to establish a thread where we can all post examples of how we encouraged others to get the vaccine and encouraged businesses to make it mandatory for their employees or refuse service from a business whop does not compel it's employees.

For example, this week I fired my exterminator for not being vaccinated.

I have also cancelled my gym membership because no rule exists and have not bought sporting events tickets that I other wise would have.

What is your story of valor?
 
I take the lack of replies to mean that most dems (the vaccinated) are cowards and will not stand up to the trash that is not vaccinated.
 
I've confronted a bunch of unvaccinated people. I started carrying a syringe of J&J so instead of just brawling in the grocery store I can get in a good jab.
 
I just vaccinate people on my own when they least expect it. Some have probably already been vaccinated but better too much vaccine than too little I figure.
We simply cannot allow people to make their own decisions.
(I hope that I don’t seriously have to say that I am kidding)
Choosing not to be vaccinated is a personal choice.
 
valor? not really, but i've promoted the benefits of vaccination online. i've debunked misinformed nonsense in person, as well. i've spoken frankly with people about my own experience with the vaccine. finally, i have worked myself to exhaustion for more than a year doing scientific research related to the pandemic.

did it do any good? the research did. the advocacy? who knows?

As your own sig says:
"Convince people that there is an invisible man in the sky and they will believe anything."

Most vaccine refuseniks believe that their invisible sky daddy will save them, and that same sky daddy says we're all baby eaters.
What can a baby eater do to convince anyone?

How did you know your exterminator was not vaccinated? If he admitted that to you then you just provided an object lesson to everyone that they should just always lie and say they did.

If he said yes, I would ask to see his digital passport.

I am not playing games with these misfits.

i'm not going to get too specific. not vaccines, but related to the pandemic and other areas when there isn't a pandemic.

I dont think its any of my business if anyone is vaccinated or not. I chose to get vaccinated. I am also completely comfortable around a person who may not be vaccinated. Mandatory and compel are words im uncomfortable with.

This is VERY wrong.

We are a sociaty and as such we all have mutual responsibilities.

Getting the vaccine is certainly a responsibility for every America.

and it is not only your business, it is your obligation to see this is accomplished.

If there were the political will, would you support forced vaccinations to the point where “these misfits” are restrained and injected?

I imagine that you meant to say society.
And you are saying that what other people choose not to do is your business?

No. They just need to be kept away from the responsible members of sociaty in the manner I have suggested.

It actually is your business. Do you know how we essentially eradicated polio?

How far should her obligation go in this instance?
She (and I) chose to be vaccinated but you feel we are obligated to see to it that other people are vaccinated? Did you ever see “Das leben der anderen”? Is that type of society the kind in which you would like to live?

Absolutely. It is a duty to your country. No different than serving in the military in WW2.
