COVID-19 - On the Ground

[twocoach]

Media. Politicians. Nearly everyone?

You don't agree that a tweet showing how "republican" states aren't "vaccinated enough" is politicizing covid/the vaccine?

not at all in the same sense that calling covid a democratic hoax is

surely you can see the difference

in this example, one is literally just stating the facts. the other was literally making shit up about the other party exclusively for political gain

I see/understand the differences in how/why each side is politicizing covid.

Reporting on the politics that are obviously affecting the difference in vaccination rates isn't "politicizing covid".

I'd say the biggest risk is exponentially themselves ( who dont get vaccinated ) and the risk to those vaccinated is very slim now.

There is a point where those vaccinated should accept those who dont. Not approve or agree but accept.

All I heard was "vaccinated people with kids under the age of 12 should just accept the fact that some people suck and to continue to keep their kids masked and away from gatherings indoors for the foreseeable future because the stupid people will never stop being stupid".

It's not just about you.

Your rights don't supercede their rights...and forced vaccination is not something i am on board with for something like covid.

Yes it is.

It’s the DC racism logic 2.0:


The issue is not those who refuse to get vaccinated, but those who report data that those who refuse to get vaccinated are, in fact, unvaccinated.

No.

And nobody is saying that.

I am vaccinated. I think people should get vaccinated....but if they don't that's okay too... and when possible i will not be around those type of people.

No, it isn't. It's reporting on the differences between states and what likely drives it.

All those damn Republicans not getting vaccinated.

That's politicizing covid/the vaccine and will result in no positive change in vaccine hesitancy or covid outlook in general.


Especially when other segements of the population who are also not "vaccinated enough" are overlooked or are not being vilified nearly as much (right or wrong).

What WILL make a difference?

Nothing. Because the vast majority of unvaccinated people.are unvaccinated for primarily political reasons.

And I have no idea what point you were making with you last paragraph.

I have seen zero efforts to force vaccinations. This is about the deliberate misinformation campaign and politicization efforts to make vaccinations seem like a loss of liberty and freedom, while actively lying about the facts.

again, which politicians are doing it now?

i couldn’t care less if media does it, since their job isn’t to look out for the well-being of this country’s citizens

all i’m asking for are actual examples of politicians on both sides “politicizing“ this...and they have to be equally egregious for your statement to hold any water

this wrong

access to vaccines is the primary reason for the current low rates of vaccination, particularly in minority communities

they have to be equally egregious

Shocker.

both-sides-do-it doesn’t work otherwise, numbnuts

equating things aren’t equal is just silly

Deep breaths buddy. I didn't say anyone was being forced....but some of you sound dangerously close to declaring that they should be forced.

But maybe you telling them how they're stupid Republicans will convince them to have a change of heart. LOL

“forced vaccination is not something i am on board with”

why post this then?

nobody here, at least that i’m aware of, supports forced vaccinations

[MICHHAWK]

vaccination rates today are low because anybody that wanted to get the vaccine has gotten the vaccine.

[Deleted User 89]

oh hooray...more ignorance!!

[Deleted User 863]

I am vaccinated.

I don't look down my nose at those who are choosing not to get vaccinated.

This isn't that hard.

Being a nice person shouldn't be that hard.

it is for those on the fringes. the radicals. which is what makes up most of what posts on this site. the loonies.
