Oh no, I agreed with all your posts in this thread until now.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 11:58 amThis.Sparko wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 9:34 amCan’t say it enough.

We shouldn't be talking about mandatory vaccines, or incentives, or passports. Everyone should just do what's right. Why (absent the misinformation campaigns) would anyone not want to be immunized against a disease that can kill you?!?
I was trying to come up with an analogy for the people not getting vaccinated but benefitting from those of us that do. All I could come up with was the people who ignore "left lane closed ahead" signs and speed along in the left lane, while the rest of us gradually merge over...and they speed up until the get to the cones and then cut their way in. Only the stakes are much much higher.
The funny thing about these lame ass freeloaders, sucking on the tit of our approaching herd immunity, is they're the same assholes upset because someone went on unemployment or got a fucking food stamp.
You will when the virus mutates outside of the vaccination because assholes won't do the right thing. I am proud of you for the vaccination--prouder still when people reinforce its efficacy and safety talking to their friends online. Public health is a responsibility not a choice.MICHHAWK wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:17 pm this is the greatest country on earth. by a wide margin. me and the old lady are heading north to one of those beautiful Michigan beach towns this weekend. eat, drink, hike, kayak, mellow out on the beach.
we are both vaccinated. don't care who else is or isn't.
there will be no riots. shootings. protests. just sunshine, cool breezes, craft beers and whitefish.
Did i mention i don't care who else is vaccinated.
I said it was a bad analogy.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:03 pmOh no, I agreed with all your posts in this thread until now.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 11:58 amThis.

Zipper merge is absolutely the right thing to do and we'd all be better off if everyone did it.
What a very unscientific post. The flu virus continues to mutate despite having a new vaccine every year. Covid is not going to be any different.Sparko wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:26 pmYou will when the virus mutates outside of the vaccination because assholes won't do the right thing.

There are also people with sever auto-immune issues, or allergies, or children under a certain age, etc. who legitimately CAN'T get the vaccine.Sparko wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:26 pmYou will when the virus mutates outside of the vaccination because assholes won't do the right thing.

Oh I see, a raging pandemic never subsiding equals the seasonal flu. And what PhD said.Walrus wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:31 pmWhat a very unscientific post.

The flu vaccine never gets much above ~65% protection rate. If it was 95% like the Covid vaccines, it might be different.Walrus wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:31 pmWhat a very unscientific post.

I think about the strong correlation between Anti-vaxxers and Christian Nationalism and then I think about my own religious upbringing and how those two things are in conflict with each other. I think about Matthew Chapter 25 which I think highlights some of the best that Christianity has to offer humanity:Sparko wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:37 pmOh I see, a raging pandemic never subsiding equals the seasonal flu.

I wonder, how can anyone read that, believe it as part of their religious beliefs and then when given the chance to protect the weakest members of society, by getting a shot that might make them feel sluggish for a day or two....they're like NOPE, not doing it.And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
That's fine.
You understand that this is something I ACTUALLY AM an expert on?
