I agree with you but the one problem is the stores are not given a choice about masks at least here in California. They have been strangely deputized to enforce all mask and social distance notions. So I can’t avoid stores where it’s enforced.
I have never supported a mandatory vaccination process and think people should have the choice. However I think that choice should be based on valid data instead of talking points.

A new Luntz focus group panel backs up the article...
“Much of the group’s doubt toward the COVID vaccine comes from the overall politicization of the pandemic.”
The reporting on covid has been politicized and “narratized” to the point of dangerousness.
If this experimental treatment they call a vaccine is safe, why are the manufacturers indemnified from lawsuits?
Why do people want to curtail other people’s freedoms? It’s a concept I don’t understand. For the public good, we do come up with laws with mild freedom limits when they intrude upon others. No smoking in restaurants or Driving drunk. Ok.
But if it’s ok for someone to engage in multiple brief anal sex dalliances, if it’s ok to climb rocks without ropes, if it’s ok to eat a horrible diet, then it’s ok to choose whether to take a certain medicine.
That's correct. Some studies show better immunity from COVID than from vaccines. The Qatar study showed 2 in 10,000 reinfection with less severe illness. We know the breakthrough rate is at least 1 in 10,000 in vaccination individuals.
RE: - It is not FDA approved.
What is the Emergency Usage Approval (EUA) from the FDA then?
RE: I’ve had Covid. Vaccine is only going to teach my immune system what it already knows.
The question is this -— How LONG will this knowledge from your immune system last vs. the “knowledge” ( note the quotes ) given by the vaccines?
EUA allows the use of unapproved treatments.
RE: EUA allows the use of unapproved treatments.
If it is an unapproved treatment, then they shouldn’t be using the word “Approval”.
The Nation of Islam is the largest antivaxxer group in America.
They didn't.
On the basis of the determination by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services on Feb. 4, 2020, that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and issued declarations that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of unapproved products, the FDA may issue an EUA to allow unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent COVID-19 when there are no adequate, approved and available alternatives
And the politicization of the issue goes hand in hand with the government’s undermining of traditional trusted sources of information (e.g., science, religion, parental wisdom, traditional wisdom, common sense, physics, biology, news media) so that when people are skeptical of government edicts, it now tries unsuccessfully to resort to those undermined sources and it doesn’t wash with thinking people.
Here’s a question: In NYS, primary care providers aren’t being allowed to offer vaccinations.
Why?
Both are limited. Immunity half-life of each remains unstated.
No it most certainly is not.
Of course at the time thalidomide was being dispensed there was no proof that it could cause any harm.
EAU = emergency use AUTHORIZATION, not approval.
Look up the FDA meaning of the two designations.
‘’If it is an unapproved treatment, then they shouldn’t be using the word “Approval”.’
They don’t ... it’s Emergency Use AUTHORIZATION.
