There isn’t really a middle ground, no.

Your side has threatened people’s livelihood. Your side has corrupted usable data by playing fast and loose with case reporting. Your side has repeatedly lied. Your side has banned discussion of these matters from almost anywhere online. Your side has engaged in information warfare, hiding information from people and preventing rational discussions from taking place.

I don’t think this is political at all. Just because you guys started using the worst tactics of Democrat operatives doesn’t mean it’s a political issue. Many ‘conservatives’ placed their trust in folks like you. It remains to be seen how that works out for them. In the process, however, the credibility of much of your industry has been shattered in the eyes of many.

Normally, I’m all for making peace and finding a middle ground, but I don’t really see one here. Besides, the only middle ground you guys would ever want is complete capitulation from people who have zero trust in you. That is highly unlikely.

Well if there is no middle ground then you have made a decision — however I note that you are not willing to approach a middle ground while attacking my perceived position. You have lofted accusations that I do not find accurate

The middle ground for me is that which I have advocated. Vaccination is not a mandate nor should be. I could require my employees to be vaccinated — I choose not to, because I think it is morally incorrect to force that. However, working in health care the largest majority of us choose to be vaccinated — only those who want to squawk and have a moment in the limelight tweet their outrage.

It would seem to be that the exact accusations fall true on “your side”.

So you have perfectly illustrated the point — you are either 100% in agreement with you or there is no point for discussion — the very definition of zealotry.

Thank you for your candid response to an honest question.

Rovian, gas_dr has never been on any side you are claiming he is on.

Find one place in any of his comments that back up your stated assertions:

“Your side has threatened people's livelihood. Your side has corrupted usable data by playing fast and loose with case reporting. Your side has repeatedly lied. Your side has banned discussion of these matters from almost anywhere online. Your side has engaged in information warfare, hiding information from people and preventing rational discussions from taking place.”

I challenge you to find one occasion of any of it. In the absence of such evidence, you should shut the Eff up.

You are talking out if your anus, “Perfect_Rovian_Storm.”
