Don't worry, it will never get that bad. Your heart will fail after only 5 or 6 shots.

Hmmmm . . . I've been wondering why I've seen a lot of pro-COVID-19 vaccinations leftists looking a lot like that lately. Mystery solved!

Actually the left don’t want the van because Biden-Harris sent a message that anything Trump recommends is bad for you. Then Biden-Harris flip flopped on the same vaccines after they took office. So now the most unvaxed people are the progressive liberal sheeple. Irony.

Yeah, that’s why the delta variant is skyrocketing in Republican lead states in the southeast. I live in one with Ron DeSantis as our idiot governor and am surrounded by a populace of morons who could care less about others. Cause guvment control! DERP!

The variant has to come from somewhere. Look into where our guvment is shipping illegal immigrants for holding/processing. Correlation doesn't equal causation... but still.

That said, those that can get vaccinated probably should. However, it is incumbent upon the individual to make that call. Besides, if you're vaccinated (like me) then why would you care? We have faith in our inoculated status, do we not? Those most effected would be those who are unvaccinated. Therefore, they should decide for themselves, yeah?

Short and long answer to why I care. Cause I have two children who can’t get vaccinated right now due to no vaccine being available for their age and the governor is going to financially punish grade schools if they even think about mandating masks in the classroom. He thinks it is a detriment to their health if they wear a mask. And COVID isn’t detrimental to their health? It’s purely political when it should be about keeping people, especially our kids, safe. Secondly I care about people in our community in general and don’t want anybody catching and potentially dying from this variant.

That is a valid point. I too care for my child and would, in fact, do unspeakable things to other people if I thought she were in danger.

Currently, my child is unvaccinated and is attending an in-person school (summer school at the moment to get ahead). While I understand your fears about children contracting the virus, all data points to them being able to skip through the symptoms relatively unscathed. This, of course, does not apply to ALL children because we are all different... but generally, children have an exceptionally high - north of 99% - chance of being unaffected.

While I share your desire for our general populace to live well/healthy, one would assume that those who care about COVID are going out of their way to obtain a vaccination. Those that cannot because of health related conditions are a bit of a concern, to be sure, but those are a vast minority of people nation/world-wide. The steps they take can easily counter-balance those who choose not to get the vaccine.

Finally, death is something that only the most sociopathic among us would truly wish upon someone else... but it is a function of our existence. We will all die from disease, bodily disfunction/failure or an abrupt circumstance; we are complex, mighty and ultimately fragile creatures. I don't believe that those who are on the fence or apprehensive about the vaccine hold that position to inflict suffering/death upon others. I do, however, believe that if those people feel that they have caused such due to their actions/inactions, they would live with that regret for the rest of their lives.

Again... people who can, should. But it's an individual decision and one that should be approached with logic, facts and after consulting a physician. The government does not have the right to force it upon anyone... or force it on someone by proxy (i.e., taking away constitutional rights if they don't comply). It's a difficult line to balance on... but I believe it is the correct path.

“one would assume that those who care about COVID are going out of their way to obtain a vaccination. Those that cannot because of health related conditions are a bit of a concern, to be sure, but those are a vast minority of people nation/world-wide.”

If you look at the stats in the state of Florida at least, most of those in the middle of what you mentioned above are the ones who are causing the spread and hence the major problem. One would assume they just don’t care about COVID and/or getting vaccinated. Meanwhile Ron DeSantis is trying to profit off anti masking and anti Fauci merch to campaign off the coattails of Trump. This is not showing leadership, but rather an over grown frat boy mentality IMO.

“Again... people who can, should. But it's an individual decision and one that should be approached with logic, facts and after consulting a physician.”.

Those individual decisions don’t just impact people in a vacuum. They could infect somebody else who is not vaccinated, like a child, or perhaps is vaccinated but still gets the variant. And then it continues to spread. That is not just an individual decision, but complete irresponsibility.

Insofar as your opinion on DeSantis, I abstain from that conversation. While I too have my opinion on the man, he is not my Governor.

Again, the child argument, while valid, is largely overblown due to how absolutely miniscule the possibility is that they would be adversely effected by the symptoms. I wouldn't put my daughter in an in-person school if I felt the data reflected any different.

Those that are vaccinated, while still able to catch and thus spread the virus, will not feel the symptoms as profoundly as those who are not vaccinated. That means that the unvaccinated folks are assuming the majority of the risk... and will inherit the results of their decision.

But, yes, and individual's decision aren't made in a vacuum. This is true of most choices, too... not just whether to get vaccinated. But like I said, it's a difficult tight rope to walk. We want everyone to be safe/secure. Do we give up our individual freedoms for security? If so, how much? At what point will our concessions lead us to a point of no return? I fear that we may be approaching that precipice faster than I would like; much faster than I feel is prudent. I really do not enjoy the thought of my daughter living under a dictatorship or even an oligarchy.

In the end, and if I'm correctly taking away what was intended from our conversation, we agree that we should do what is best for ourselves while also considering those around us. If the nation kept that in mind more often, we would likely be vastly better off.

Fully agree with your last paragraph. Unfortunately with politics we are stuck in the middle of or pay the consequences of bad decisions. Additionally, here is some food for thought on how I think we should be able to fight back against a governors politically motivated decision.

Then we could just leave it up to communities or families....then individuals......now we have 0 need for laws right?
0 ups, 3y
This conversation has nothing to do with laws. It has to do with local schools having the right to decide what is best for children rather than a governor who doesn’t give a crap about them.

They're also working on a perm mask mandate lol.
But I agree with you , Trump nor Biden are our friends

It has everything to do with law. They're literally trying to mandate it now
0 ups, 3y
Yes, you are correct. However, a mandate is usually temporary during emergencies. It’s not like we would have to wear masks permanently.

Because children don't get it like adults do and a vaccines for children is dumb and unnecessary. Forcing children to get a shot they don't need is a form of child abuse.

What do you call the MMR vaccine? You have to have it as a requirement for school. So I guess millions have been abused according to your opinion.
[deleted]
0 ups, 3y
The MMR vaccine isn't an emergency vaccine that is still being researched like the covid vaccine is. The covid vaccine is still under the testing phase and was pushed as an emergency vaccine.

And mumps, measles and rubella are childhood diseases where covid isn't. Covid doesn't kill children like the others do.

I haven't heard anyone taking a booster shot. So... your meme would e considered "misinformation"

Conservatives doing exactly what they accuse the liberals of doing.
