Argument at work with woke idiots about Covid. Is it this bad everywhere?

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....

The inmates have taken over and are running the asylum.

You might actually have sumthin here. You swallow a bunch of coffee beans, shiite them out, clean them and bring them into the office as standard civet coffee that you know went through a ‘cool cat’.

At a couple of the sites we support, workers have been warned to not ask anyone about their COVID-19 vaccination status. This after there was ultimately a couple of people asking if co-workers had been vaccinated, and pressuring those that had not to get vaccinated.

My local post office until recently had a sign up requiring a mask to enter. Last week I needed to go there so I put on a mask and a woman in the parking lot called out to me that I didn’t need to do that. That was a total surprise. She asked me if I was vaxed and I said that I wasn’t. Instead of freaking out, she asked my reason. I mentioned long term effects, and that I was interested in the Novavax vaccine which isn’t available yet. She had never heard of it. All in all, it was a pleasant conversation, and it was clear that her mind wasn’t locked up.

Couple of days later, a mask Karen confronted me as I going into a store. I just said “oh, well” and walked away from her. The sign on the door said “recommended”, not “required”. I guess she couldn’t understand that.

It was like a light switch. The second Biden was installed these idiots went from “RESIST” to “OBEY.” I have never seen anything like this.

Sorry but it’s been this way since the dawn of time. These people have to be dominated (they want it). You have to put a boot on their necks. Turning the other cheek and being a meek Lamb will turn you into a Lamb dinner.

First of all, thank you for posting this vanity. I think it is important to take the temp. from time to time of where things stand and get feedback and advice. People here on FR have given me good ideas on retorts to things.

When posting a Vanity, list “Vanity” as the source where you would list Breitbart, GP, or any other typical source publication. Then you don’t have to fill in a link in the link box.

I can’t speak to how bad it is at work because fortunately I work at home. I go out to see clients sometimes, but the industry they are in is such that the people are of the “mind your own business” mindset.

Here in Ohio the masking is very neighborhood dependent. There are various differences at the grocery stores even when only 5 miles separates them.

One thing that has helped my mental health is wearing “message” shirts and masks. I was never much of a T-shirt wearer before, but I like parading around in a shirt that says “If people can make you to believe absurdities, they can get you to commit atrocties” or a mask that says “Censored.”

You may not be able to wear T-shirts at work, but try it around town. If someone comments in a nice way, try to make a new friend because they have probably lost some.

You should have visited the local zoo and given your arguments a “dry run” with the chimps.

You probably would have had better luck!

“Gee, before we talk about Covid vaxing, let’s please talk about religion, and global warming, and politics, and then abortion. K’kay?”

Don’t waste your time. Just calmly tell them that you know they are completely wrong, and that Trump is greatest President since Reagan, and you don’t wish to discuss it further.

Until, in an apoplectic rage, they call the local constabulary on you and report there is a "murdering domestic terrorist" on the loose, send everything they've got, and suggest they 'shoot to kill'.

Don't put it past them. That's how much they hate us. ESPECIALLY if you mention President Trump.

I’ve found that “Get the f##k away from me” in my most menacing voice is pretty effective.

Amazing how every state, every governor, every city and county, every company and corporation can use COVID to fit whatever their own needs are.

It’s SUCH a versatile virus!

The realm of Covid tee shirt sayings is fertile:

Get the mRNA vax?
You’re now a GMO!

“My body, my choice!”
Works for aborting babies AND jabs.

I’m in the control group.

Mask on! Mask off!

My logic-based reply:

I said no because Covid vaccines are still experimental.

And Covid vaccines are not FDA approved and illegal to give under "emergency" status, because the law was ignored.

Ivermectin, HCQ + Azith + Zinc and other preventive supplements, much cheaper fixes, have been quashed and demonized by vaccine promoters, when they should have been promoted per the law ignored above. Why is that?

Covid is said to be 98.5% survivable. But, Covid tests are now known to be quite inaccurate, with many false positives, so it’s very likely a higher percentage.

mRNA Covid vaccines are not really vaccines, but a genetic bot slurry, making the receiver a GMO.

Recently announced side-effects are worrisome, some more so than Covid.

I had the same Covid argument last week. One formerly reasonable guy said that the unvaccinated should be shot. The unvaccinated, like me, are considered as lepers. I’m beginning to think that the jab has some mind altering effect on the fairly normal. The rights of the minority are being trampled on.

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

Except that abortions don't have a 99% survival rate.
