    Millions of people standing up for themselves (unlike you) isnt factual enough for you? This informs me that there are way more people who think like I do than there are of people who blindly follow orders.

    I doubt it. I think we've been lied to about the vaccination rate.

    Like I said, they needed two sides to start a war. They're getting exactly what they wanted and its because many have lost the ability to think for themselves in situations like this.

    No, just this nonsensical movie magic bs that's been thrown at us over the past year or so. Plus they are doing a terrible job at it with all the flip-flopping and some are still falling for it.

    1. There is no world wide cooperation between governments, hospitals, scientists, and media to spread news of a fake pandemic or falsify vaccination data.

    2. If all of those groups could cooperate and do something like that, it would be for something more monumental than mask mandates and a vaccine.

    3. The data is clear. Covid-19 was new and the pandemic was new. The scientific process by definition updates and changes as more data becomes available. That isn't flip flopping for the hell of it, that is science.

    4. You are discounting all of the data, studies, and evidence without showing how it was falsified or providing other data that counters it. The few bits and pieces you have posted have been immediately shown to be flawed, false, or at the very best inconclusive. They often lack a causal link.

    I'm sure you're a great guy, but nothing you have said regarding vaccines has any basis in science or fact. On this topic, it's just plain wrong, and does a disservice to anyone who believes it.

    People are choosing to lose their jobs by not getting vaccinated, even though their are medical exemptions and I believe they get exempted if they mask and agree to testing. Hard to feel sorry for people choosing to not work for political reasons.

    Yes, it's possible that a "booster" or 3 shots is standard for mRNA Covid vaccines. We'll see. And if that's the case, it could be that some companies or even the gov update their requirements for continuing employment. That all seems logically consistent.

    So my office is run mostly by anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers. A month ago I overheard several coworkers laughing and joking about having a COVID party.
    Luckily they didn't but..

    Since then a lady on the floor above us lost her 20-something year old son to COVID.
    A 40yr old healthy lady on the first floor died this week from COVID.
    Her husband who works in our shipping dept is in the hospital because of COVID.
    The President of the company who has been taking Ivermectin and HCQ daily for the last 9 months is now in in the hospital receiving oxygen due to COVID pneumonia.

    and they're still championing their anti-vax crap pro-clinical-trial-failing medications.

    Sad.

    This is an example of how deeply ingrained beliefs can become and a suggestion to all to not waste time with deeply ingrained beliefs.

    I know of many employers (including the federal government) where there is no exemption for masking and testing out of the vaccine. In addition, I have yet to see medical and religious exemptions approved, granted most of the people are probably just trying to use that as a way out. Many employers are planning to require it as they don't want to deal with the mandated weekly testing for unvaccinated employees. I personally vaccinated as soon as possible and even volunteered at vaccination stations to help get through the initial rollout, but I respect others rights to make that choice for themselves.

    Easy for you to just claim that all of these people are doing it for political reasons, but I'll bet you are one of those people that likes to think you actually have an open mind and are understanding of the way other people think and feel :rolleyes:

    Could you provide actual proof that there are no exemptions? And religious exemptions? Which religion prohibits vaccinations? And your statement about business planning to require... again, proof of that is needed. And please, not tic tock videos or facebook postings.

    Again, the people resisting vaccinations are slowing our ability to overcome COVID-19 for inane political reasons. This "make the choice themselves is empty rhetoric... they can still choose to not do the responsible thing, but they must face what happens for making this decision.

    I just realized Trump 'covfefe' tweet was a near slip-up where he almost spilled the beans about planning to unleash covid on the world and then blaming it on China.

    I gave you an example, but it doesn't fit your narrative and you are too lazy to research it yourself apparently.

    https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandto...s-on-vaccine-mandate-for-federal-workers.aspx

    Is the Federal government and all contractors not a large enough example of a mandate without a test-out option?

    LMAO, people having to choose to be employed or get vaccinated is not a choice at all for most people in the real world. Your opinion is entirely based on your political preference and insisting everyone do what you "think" is right, even though it is not based in science at all. There is no scientific proof that previously infected and recovered C-19 patients need a vaccine. For me, the vaccine was certainly the right choice and the scientific evidence definitely shows that. That does not mean that is the case for everyone.
