Yep. This is from another study.

Just 50% of Americans plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Here’s how to win over the rest

“Some of the communities most at risk from the virus are also the most leery: Among Black people, who account for nearly one-quarter of U.S. COVID-19 deaths, 40% said they wouldn’t get a vaccine in a mid-May poll by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago.”

"Its perfectly reasonable for people to say no — as I am not for forced vaccination . However, the flip side is dont bitch about lockdowns and loss of freedom. Life is about choices, and it is impossible to have it both ways."

But, but...they could take the cure!

” an antibody or antigen test “
Big difference.
An antigen test is for current infection, an antibody test for previous infection.
Our media loves to confuse people...

When people are as stupid as the “majority” there can be no normalcy.

Well that third will be forced to do it to keep their jobs and feed their families. How many vaxes are forced on americans born today? Y
My prediction.. just like the flu.. no vax means you wer a mask. And luckily for everyone we are protected from the flu because Obamacare tied federal reimbursement to flu vax compliance for hospitals. If vaccines are so amazing why do they have to be enforced with law.
Every year, people start “getting the flu” right after vax starts. Every. Year.

They tried to make me take a shot before my first tour. I refused, and the base surgeon wasn’t going to let me deploy. The CO overrode him because we were quite under strength. I had to sign a five page waiver. When we got there, I was the only healthy one and the rest of my section and most of the platoon was bed ridden. I forget why I refused (never was good at taking orders), but I learned something then. I don’t trust the government even for a second. When the herd is all heading together towards the slaughterhouse, I tend to run off and do my own thing.

The harder they try to push us to something, the harder I push back.

Sounds like you have a good son there. I saw enough to see how badly we are lied to. In my case it was the Canadian government, but yes, they have nothing good for us in mind.

Very fortunate. Great sons. Great daughter. Great in-laws. Great grandkids. Great wife. Great life.

How fortunate can one get?

I sat on the shoulders of GIANTS great men when I was little...my dad, his brother and my moms 5 brothers...the Warner Bros. The ladies were great...moms, aunts, grandmothers.

2 grandfathers...not so great...both alcoholics.

All in the entire family worked very, very hard and played by the rules put down on us.

I'm glad you recovered.

I was diagnosed with Covid-19 early on in the pandemic last spring after going to the ER and spending one night in the hospital. I recovered on my own at home after 2-3 weeks of treating it like the flu. I was real sick for about a week but improved after that until the symptoms were all gone.

I've had bouts of pneumonia over the years that set me back worse than this corona virus did.

Why must you insist these people get vaccinated?

gas_dr has - from day 1 - taken the position that vax should be voluntary

I had a flu shot once and my left sinus has never been the same.

They seem to not want to let this crisis go to waste. Lot of money to be made and they get to control people which is their favorite past time.

Now be a good little commie and get your shot.

Someday, something like this will be required to get into certain facilities and then on the next go around, more facilities and someday, required to get into major chain stores. Schools, then gov buildings, then chain stores/restaurants. All it would take is for ins companies to give them a discount on liability ins or for the marketing dept to say it's a good plan because the msm has everyone scared to death.

My Missouri neighbor - 65 years old, voted for Trump, watches some foxnews - believes covid to be a scary virus that's killing most people who get it. He has heard about Cuomo sending covid into nursing homes but maybe not the other 4 states. Doesn't realize that those 5 states deliberately caused 2/3 of all cases. Didn't know places were calling most anything a covid death. Motorcycle wreck in FL = covid death on the books because the dead rider tested positive. Another neighbor up the road, won't let people in his house because ... corona.

Thank you so much
I have come to the conclusion that people will not read and say whatever they have to advance their agenda which is often not based on science. It’s cult like

But I appreciate you pointing out that indeed I am not for mandatory vaccination.

As for people who try to put words in my mouth it just reveals that they are as bad as liberals in twisting information for their purpose

Disgusting.

I don’t trust search engines to be truthful. Is it just this version of the vaccine that modifies DNA? Any helpful links would be appreciated but I understand if you don’t have the time.

I don't want to alarm you, but you are absolutely correct and these companies are already out there: Covi-Pass

Total nightmare scenario. Take the injection or be "de-personed and de-platformed".

Leftists ruin everything.

However, the flip side is dont bitch about lockdowns and loss of freedom. Life is about choices, and it is impossible to have it both ways.

So, per this statement, is it your belief that we can choose one or the other? Certainly sounds that way, and I get the public perception at this time of "demanding" it for return to "normalcy". That mentality will not sway me and my whole point in my diatribe was to begin the pushback against that type of mindset. To enumerate two distinctive choices and allow for no other alternative is not rational in my view, and once again I'm actually pointing at the fearful public and the agenda driven media. I get what you're saying, but that does not mean I will sit idly by and allow myself to be given only those choices by a public ruled by irrational fear.

Cult like? I see exactly that coming from those attempting to frighten or shame others into IGNORING science and insisting everyone be vaccinated for this virus, and again, not pointing at YOU.

First, BP is still very dangerous.

2nd, the point was this pandemic is not worthy of this hysteria. If it’s as dangerous as BP then I’d endorse the lockdowns.

I say this as one who may be suffering from COVID now, in a bad way.
