I absolutely respect and support YOUR right to get the VAX. Hell, take as many Boosters as you want. Drink it, I don’t care.
What really pisses me off is the bunch of arrogant, sanctimonious, self righteous, VAX-HOLES that insist that they know best and insist, and in some cases, MANDATE that everyone succumb to their self-imagined superior intellect.
You want the Un-Vaxxed to respect your right to choose, RESPECT OURS!!!
posting an article that gives neutral or positive information about vaccines is not a personal attack on the small percent of unvaccinated. Why some unvaccinated take it that way and get all anger defensive attacking the poster with INCAPS namecalling instead of posting a counterargument or opinion on the subject matter itself is a mystery to me. Especially considering FR is a christian-centric website.
As for mandates, bring a kid with rubella to my pregnant daughter’s house and you’ll see mandates in action real quick. This article isn’t about ‘madates’ but when the vaccine was new, 30K a week were dropping dead and we had zero defenses, mandates made sense. When there is no way to shelter all the millions of elderly or at risk people, there will always be a time and place for mandates of one form or another.
As to respect, the pandemic has been inconvenient to everyone. Even so, society has done a pretty good job of respecting the unvaccinated. Unfortunately it hasn’t been reciprocal. The infirm were shut in their houses or nursing homes for over a year. The unvaccinated didn’t care. Many who rejected mandates were accommodated by allowing them to work at home. Now those same folks don’t want to come to the office at all. Social distancing was in lieu of mandates, too, but now folks don’t want to social distance either. Opposition to the covid vaccine morphed into opposition to any vaccine. Considering an overwhelming majority have been vaccinated for covid over the last two years, and are interested in hearing about new developments in the fight against covid, maybe the “sanctimonious” unvaccinated invested in vaccine-shaming should stop pounding the victim drum so loudly.
