Oklahoma Watch: A COVID-19 vaccine could meet resistance in Oklahoma
https://www.tulsaworld.com ^ | 16 May 2020 | By Kathryn McNutt

When a coronavirus vaccine becomes available in the United States, the federal government and states will face a crucial choice: Should all or most residents be required to get the novel coronavirus vaccine?

Or should it be required only for school children, with a medical exception allowed, and for groups like front-line health-care workers? Some officials might want few or no requirements at all because they think enough people are likely to get the vaccine voluntarily or have immunity from an infection to halt the spread of the disease.

But in states like Oklahoma, efforts to require and promote the vaccine could run into strong headwinds.

The resurgence of the Anto-Vax movement, coupled with wild conspiracy theories is regrettable.

It’s disingenuous to paint everyone who’s opposed to THIS vaccine fro this problem as an *anti-vaxxer*.

People are not opposed to it because they are anti-vaxxers.

They are opposed to the *mandatory* part.

Why can’t we just treat the symptoms and live? After that we don’t need a vaccine, we have antibodies.

I think vaccines should be a personal decision.

Those that want it can get it. And they are protected.

Those that don’t can skip it. However, the insurance companies should have the right to not cover the medical costs of those that opt out.

I will want to know one thing before I take it... did aborted babies have anything to do with the making of the vaccine?

Bill Gates wants indemnity against lawsuits because by his own estimate 700,000 people may have a bad response to the vaccine.

Why he wants local governments to force it on people.

Yes.

My body, my choice.

Isn’t that how the saying goes?

Should insurance cover people who get the vaccine and then have a worse case of the virus when they get exposed? This is happened with coronaviruses.

The same goes for those who talk to their doctor and are prescribed off label use of Trump pills

You may be gullible enough to take the poison, but many are not.

Sounds as if the government propaganda has destroyed your ability to think critically. You are a sheep,

It’s funny how I never saw you on FR before the scamdemic began.

If you are stupid enough to take a hastily produced vaccine promoted by the “population reducer”, Bill Gates, then it’s your funeral.

I’m not taking a vaccine for a little bug which has a 99.5% survival rate. That is beyond stupid.

I always wonder about vaccines. Seems they quit looking for a cure once a vaccine is introduced. You can’t make money if there is a cure, but with vaccines the money train never ends.

Not a fan of freedom, are you?

Injecting poison into your body for a little bug with a 99.5% survival rate is colossal stupidity.

The chances of you getting the bug are incredibly low. But, if you did, there’s always the Hydroxychloroquine cocktail.

THAT is the answer, not injecting a hastily produced vaccine into your bland destroying your health.

Anyone who believes that Americans should be forced to take the poison are communists. Period.

Anyone who was not around for the government’s 1975 swine flu vaccine debacle would be wise to research it. This vaccine is being rushed through development by a bunch of people desperate to save face. The odds of bad things happening are quite high.

Perhaps but not as gullible as the anti-vaxxers who believe the Bill Gates conspiracy theories.
