The Left's Coercion Campaign Against the Unvaccinated Is About To Look Even More Foolish
townhall.com ^ | 7/30/2021 | Matt Vespa

We’ve heard it’s the Republicans who are at fault for the return of the mask mandates and the spreading of the Delta variant. Well, liberals are saying that of course. It’s conservative media that’s fanning the flames. There’s more nuance to this problem and you all know. The least of it is not being that vaccinations have always been a sensitive topic in America. When it comes to kids, it’s even more intense. There’s also the aspect that a lot of people don’t like being told what to do and there is a limit in telling what adults can and cannot do in some areas. It’s a fact of life. Forty percent of New York City public school employees are unvaccinated. I doubt these are voracious readers of conservative media.

And now, the Left’s snobbery and incessant need to coerce people with whom they disagree is about to crash into the wall. Why? Well, are health care workers part of this supposedly unlearned pro-Trump cult? I ask because a significant number of them are not vaccinated. About a quarter of health care workers in the US have not received the COVID vaccine and don’t plan to any time soon.

So the med teams walkout just in time for the winter flu season to hit. Brilliant idea

From the article:

“There’s also the aspect that a lot of people don’t like being told what to do and there is a limit in telling what adults can and cannot do in some areas.”

Yes, I am definitely tired of people telling me not to get vaccinated so I can protect my vulnerable family members. I am tired of Tucker Carlson telling me to call CPS on parents who make their kids wear masks. I am tired of anti-vaxxers forcing their lifestyle on the rest of us by destroying vaccines. Not wanting to take the vaccine for yourself is one thing. Stopping other people from making that choice for themselves is another.

Authoritarianism is not just for leftists any more.

The most bizarre thing about all this is how the medical professionals worked double shifts when there was no vaccines at all, putting their personal health on the line - and some were infected - are now being faced with being fired for refusing the vaccine that is more dangerous than the virus!

So much for all of those woke TV and radio ads about "supporting our brave front line workers."
All BS propaganda that no one meant.

This is the thanks they really get.

Oh, yes, all those people you cite have such great power over you and others. They can stop you from making your own choices. lol

So much more powerful than the government, than the MSM, than the big tech social media moguls and the corporate employers of millions.

Great point there, snowflake!

9% of the vaccinated population is black. 13% of population is black. So 9/13 or 70% of blacks are vaccinated.

Further down it says 36%. This information could NOT be more confusing, which to me indicates it's being done deliberately.

Show me the Americans who were thrown in jail for refusing to get the vaccine. A single link will do. I'll wait.

If someone is destroying vaccines in my town then yes, they are stopping me from doing as I please. Similarly CPS is well known for its lack of transparency and its heavy-handed tactics.

One person destroyed some vaccines and you can't get vaxxed?

Your percentages would work IF 100% of the US population is vaccinated. I believe that your estimates are wrong. The last statistic that I have read stated that 28% of the black, male population in the US is vaccinated.
I imagine it is a little higher now but certainly not 50%. I also have seen that about 50% of the white male population is vaccinated. 37% of the Hispanic males, and about 60% of the Asian males.

I never said no one could get vaxxed, just that some people in that specific town could not get vaxxed as a result of that man's actions.

I'm still waiting for the links that show folks going to jail for not getting the vaccine. Some anti-vaxxers are arguing it's oppression to expect them to pay for their own COVID tests instead of expecting the taxpayer to foot the bill. If that's your definition of oppression, then I guess anti-vaxxers are indeed oppressed.

Use the standard you just demanded of me.

Right, of course. Because after he destroyed a few vials of vax, and was arrested for it, they couldn't get another shipment of vaccines ever again.

Utterly absurd.

You said your town.

I think you missed the the conditional "If" at the beginning of my sentence. As in "If this happened in my town..."

Show me your links proving how “authoritarian” the right is.

Dude, I have already posted a link about Tucker Carlson telling his viewers to call CPS on parents who choose to mask their kids. If telling people to report their neighbors to the government isn't authoritarian in your book, I'd hate to see what you do consider "authoritarian".

Your turn.

Your arms must be so sore from being twisted. What I don’t understand is why you HAVEN’T been immunized? Injections are available freaking everywhere ,if you look.

And if you ARE immunized, well good for ya now shut up awready.
And YOU wear a mask, i’m done.

That equates to 31,349,500 blacks not vaccinated. That’s a bunch.

The fact about the 97% was in one of the papers that I read daily, WSJ, NYT, or NY Post, but most likely not the Post. I’ll look for it later. I already posted the fact on FR previously.

More important, I think, is something that I just read, from the CDC closed report that was leaked: Delta is probably more severe, as well as more contagious. Was in the Times today. The Post said severity was not mentioned, but they may have been looking at something else, or a shorter version.

That’s a pretty snarky remark, by the way, about the New York doctors, the best and most ethical in the world and where everybody comes when they are desperate for good care.
