Then there’s the fact that we have to trust in the morals and the competence of whoever poured the ingredients in the tube.
After your post, I read that an estimated 10,000,000 Americans are immunocompromised. That’s an astonishing high number.
A few years ago, it would have astonished me too. It’s scary how many things — including certain medical treatments — can weaken the immune system.
I’ve got an autistic son. Round of vaccines and two weeks later, different little boy. We took a flu vaccine a few years later and I was sick as can be for two weeks when I would normally work through the flu in less than a week. My left sinuses have never been the same since. He and I will pass on any vaccine and I don’t think gov would get away with any sort of mandatory vaccine for all people. The only reason children require them is to get into school and I’m fine with the standard MMA shot. They’ve overdone the whole vaccine requirements for kids these days.
That is not correct. They also victimize those who are unable to take vaccines.
Mais absolument. Patrick Henry was right.
We need a vaccine against those obsessive mandaters.
Would you take insulin before you even know if you’re diabetic? Why wouldn’t you first get tested to see if you already have natural immunity, which is far superior to vaccine acquired immunity?
How so?
That’s a very good point. The testing should be available to anyone who thinks they need a treatment long before the vaccine is available.
It will be a cold day in Hell before I’m vaccinated for this bug.
The fact that Bill Gates is involved should give anyone pause.
Also, the esteemed epidemiologist, Madonna, pledged money for the vaccine.
No, thank you.
I don’t need it anyway. I’m outside a lot, so I get lots of Vitamin D. My immune system is very strong and I don’t have to worry about getting sick.
One would have to be a hypochondriac to get a vaccine for a virus like this.
Same here - the vaccine killed a number of people and did a number on a whole lot of people...I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB and only had a sore arm but my roommate hurt so bad he cried and he shook so bad and was so out of it I had to get help to take care of him for a night - the hospital just said that some reaction “was normal” and said to monitor him....I guess if he died, it was no longer their problem and mortuary services could mosey on over....
Nothing quite as satisfying as screwing yourself.
Yeah, whatever. If you'd like to be a test subject for big pharma with a vaccine against a mutating virus, feel free. I'll no gainsay your decisions on such things.
The problem is that there is a huge contingent of totalitarian folks both here and out in the real world that want to enforce their will upon everyone. Not even the covid alarmists and bedwetters hiding under their beds with their pacifiers are disputing the fact that the vast majority of folk who get it, will experience little more than a bad cold. All of this crap is being done because of a small percentage who might have a less favorable outcome.
For myself, I'll trust in the robustness of my own immune system. Back when the West Nile virus was the bugaboo of the day I picked that one up while on vacation with my wife. It was, without a doubt, the worse infection I've ever had. Was feeling fine before noon, and by 2pm, I was in bed barely able to move. It was nasty, and from what I understand, some folks spent months in the hospital because of it. For me, I missed a whole day of work, which is in itself pretty unusual.
So yeah, I'll trust in my immune system. If my late wife were still with us, I'd be doing everything I could to protect her, because cancer and chemo had pretty much destroyed her immune system. However, the Lord decided he'd prefer to have her with Him instead, so that's a worry I no longer have.
The various totalitarians here and elsewhere can bloody well piss off.

“Enforcing your will on everyone” is exactly what you’re doing. I couldn’t care less if you catch the flu because you choose not to get vaccinated. I do care if you infect others because you were too self-centered and stupid to get vaccinated.
And that’s it exactly.
It might not be everybody’s choice and it might not make any sense to most people, but no matter what their personal decision is, they shouldn’t be FORCED into something else.
Same with worship/public gatherings. If someone wants to quarantine, they can. But forcing someone else to do something to make it easier/”safer” for yourself is what makes the gun-grabbers think they’re right.
I'm not buying your statist crap. go bother someone who give a damn about what you think.

Typical self-centered thinking.
You collectivists really are a joke. A sad, bad joke.

Don’t you think it’s better to be a joke than a menace to public health?
Better than being a menace to the Constitutional Republic. Perhaps you’d feel more at home over on DU. I hear they have some Constitution toilet paper you might enjoy.
