Argument at work with woke idiots about Covid. Is it this bad everywhere?
Me ^ | 8/17/2021 | Me

Posted on 08/17/2021 1:48:09 PM PDT by mikelets456

Ignore the URL as I did not know what to put in there. But, I work in NJ and just got into a debate about Covid, masks, unvaccinated at work which turned into a yelling match. It's amazing how people are okay with vaccine passports, forced mask mandates and even wishing "will ill' on those not vaccinated. I was even called selfish for not wanting to wear a mask----"but I had Covid already"......That doesn't matter. They didn't even acknowledge that illegals coming in over the border unvaccinated was a problem. WTH, it's not even worth speaking to these woke idiots. I stayed calm but it escalated so incredibly fast when I simply didn't agree. BTW, I work in NJ, live in PA----is it this bad everywhere in the country? Give me some hope here....

I was watching CNN they have the best coverage of Afghanstan...then a doctor came on to talk about COVID and when she got done I was sure I was going to die unless I wore my mask.

One thing that has helped my mental health is wearing “message” shirts and masks.

I wear this one:

That's why you DON'T speak to them. You mock them. Their idiocy is sheer folly.

Yeah, it’s the sheep-syndrome. It started as a fad, became a religion, now a cult. Our freedoms are being gradually eroded. Sorta like the frog and the boiling water.

At the hospital I work at, only about 3/4 are vaxxed. The vaxxed talk about us like we’re morons, and many think we don’t exist. The utter shock when the 1/4 unvaxxed number was reported!

And they have no idea whatsoever about counter-medical-research-arguments to their religious covidism. They don’t ask. No one speaks.

Ask them if you’re vaccinated, can you still catch it?

…and if you’re vaccinated, can you still spread it?

The CDC and Fauci & co. ALL say - YES to both questions.

They are just as “selfish” as you are - being in public.

Your natural immunity is WAY better against the virus than their GOVERNMENT-funded rush-job jab that they CALL a vaccine, but isn’t.

When they call you selfish, just reply with, “Like getting an abortion.”

Haha...and follow with "My body, my choice!".

Co-workers: Are you vaccinated?

Me: No.

Co-Worker: Why not?

Me: Already had the virus; got better.

Co-worker: But… you should still get the vaccine man.. the new variants are KILLING people!!

Me: nahh… that would be like taking cold medicine AFTER I just got over a cold..

Then they change the subject…

I work in PA. I keep quiet about my vaccinated status. Even in areas I know that are mostly Conservative.
Wife and I are fully vaccinated. If somebody doesn’t want or believe in the vaccine that’s there business and their choice. If a business requires me to wear a mask to enter…I wear the mask. I don’t understand why some people get all concerned about the freedom of choice in this country!

They can’t undo what they have done so you can NEVER persuade them. If anyone tries to persuade me, I’ll change the subject to the unassailable: “mind your own business”.

Fear is a powerful emotion. Liberty is ignored when fears rule, because they foolish believe that liberty is forever her.

As Ben Franklin said; “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”.

My first bit of advice is to avoid arguments at work. It contributes nothing to help getting the job done, and really has no place in an environment where you have no control over who you work with.

That advice is especially applicable in a place like New Jersey, where 25% of the population is useless misfits and another 50% is comprised of suburban dingbat women and emasculated men.

Good post, Polymuser.

I'm not opposed to vaccines on principle, but in the case of THESE "vaccines" I am very hesitant -- and for good reasons.

My rationale is really just that: RATIONAL (from my perspective) ...

1. I have no confidence that the vaccines work.

2. I have no confidence that the vaccines will have no adverse long-term effects on me.

3. (AND THIS IS A BIG ONE) ... I can't reverse my course of action and "un-vaccinate" myself if I get a vaccine and #1 and/or #2 turn out to be real.

4. Since February 2020 I have simply seen to many misrepresentations, conflicting statements, and outright lies from people in positions of authority on various matters related to COVID-19. I go way back to the day in mid-March when I told a close friend of mine whose employer sent him to work from home when that "15 days to flatten the curve" nonsense was first announced: "I'll never believe anything we are being told about this disease while the same people who are shutting down restaurants, schools and businesses insist on keeping the New York City subway running."

Well, I would say that there are useful idiots in every population. I suspect the average is about 20%. There seems to be far fewer out here in the west (Rockies) and a higher concentration along the coasts.

It is in Delaware. Had a similar debate with “friends” just this past Friday re: Natural Immunity benefits vs the need to get the jab after infection. Got real heated.

You and I must work in the same hospital. People like us are regarded as imaginary creatures such as unicorns or the Easter Bunny. Surely every healthcare worker is vaxxed?!?

The denial is palpable. I believe they all received their their Doctorates from the University of CNN.
