He is at least signalling that he will not force anyone to get it thru legislation.

Tell all those who employ others it’s not required. The government wont have to mandate it.

Only if you want to exercise certain rights like freedom of travel.

True. But your freedoms will be diminished if you don’t take a COVID vaccine.

I’m irritated if they require it for international travel.
Quantas has started that ball rolling.

Of course it won’t be mandatory but you will have to show proof of vaccination to get on an airplane, go to sporting events, apply for a job, etc. No pressure whatsoever 😉

I believe him IN PART.

IMHO, there won't be any mandate while Pres. Trump is in office, and if governors attempt to do an end-run and mandate it anyway, it would be stopped -- while Pres. Trump is in office. We shall see.

Maybe during Pre-Tribulation. . .After that, we know what people will be subjected to and have to endure. These are certainly times to reflect one's personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as well as witness to family, friends and others about His Saving Grace.

I wish that was true. People will be pressured by jobs, by airplane companies, even by restaurants. All for a hyped up flu. COVID-19 is about control.
The speed of the institution of restriction and the lengths the local governments & Big Business have gone to make me very suspicious about whether this was taking advantage of a crisis or a trap being sprung. How much of this was a callous attempt to prevent a second Trump term and/or to prepare the Country for Armageddon is unclear at present. The forces of evil are certainly at fever pitch.

I signed up for a trial through the VA. We’ll see if I’m chosen. The country needs this thing gone whether it’s as serious as the media says or not, it need to disappear.

Vaccines are ALREADY mandated...children can't attend K-12 without their shots. Lots of colleges mandate vaccines, too. And yet, people never bitched en masse about that. Indeed, anyone who did was called a stupid anti-vaxxer blah blah blah.

Vaccines are a very personal thing. And while I appreciate the public health dimension, I also appreciate civil liberties. Don't tell me or my family what we must put into our bodies "for our own good." I can figure it out on my own and please get off my lawn.

Ironically, people who choose to get shots are, in theory, safe. Those who do NOT get vaccinated are, theoretically, most at risk. And yet the nannies and Karens wanna force them to get shots. Go figya.

We have to consider the source:
Senator Lankford was all set to cancel honoring our heritage by replacing Columbus Day with Juneteenth, just a few short months ago-until he got significant blowback from his constituents. He is a squish in the same vein as Chief Justice John Roberts. Oklahomans, do NOT put your trust in this man.

I want to learn several things. First, is it truly effective in the population at large. Second, how long does the protection last. Third, what are the real side-effects short and long term. Fourth, am I really sure I am not getting chipped in the process. Fifth, I react poorly to being coerced and I am already feeling that way about this stupid WuFlu and this vaccine.

I paid for and was going on an international trip in October, and it was canceled, re-booked for 2021. I expect I will be given the choice of losing my money or getting the vaccine before I learn answers to my questions. There is already a push for a digital tracker that you will have to show for all kinds of normal activities like going to a concert, flying and I expect that to snowball through the world. Forcing people to be a hermit or get the vaccine.

I really don’t do well in such an environment. WuFlu is not polio or small pox.

Very simply. We will all have to wear masks, social distance, etc., until the very last person around the world is vaccinated.

He’s a snake. Trying to dig himself out of the hole when he said last week Biden should have assistance with the transition to the White House.
