  1. Like eating or wearing clothes.

  2.  @maclivingston9268  Doesn't make it necessary, and one could easily decide to simply not wear clothing, or is conformity through pressure the only argument you have?

  3.  @jennifernordlund2691  Accurate though.

  4.  @maclivingston9268  You mean aside from the fact that we have an entire society built around being able to see? Not being able to see is different to choosing not to. So thanks for making my point for me I guess. I could go on, like registering your car, not driving drunk, not causing panic, not running an international drug ring. The list is long and boring and encompasses basically every law. That's why the quote is so stupid, and using it only shows Ian's ignorance rather than everyone else's.

  5.  @pmodrat  Tuskegee was a racially fuelled experiment kept secret for decades. It's basically the exact opposite of a global pandemic with dozens of countries working on ways to get through it. Washington forced his soldiers to be inoculated for a reason. You also can't sue for any vaccine, so I'm not sure why that sways your opinion on this specific vax and none of the others.

  6.  @maclivingston9268  Nothing you said makes any sense, other than the obvious projection of liking to argue. If you want to play semantics rather than actually addressing the original point, which is that people are constantly "persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized" through literal laws, then I, and the rest of the world, have no time for you. Enjoy your mic drop, but pushing over the board and declaring victory won't actually get you anywhere.

  7. ​ @maclivingston9268  I'm sure you think you're being logical, but you really aren't. You pivot from being able to see to looking at people specifically, which is a very narrow scope of seeing in general, and has nothing to do with your original point about being blind. I mean talk about a goalposts shift. You call pharma a drug ring, while ignoring the regulations, research and development that go into it. It's like comparing a NASA engineer to a crackhead offering to paint your house. Society encourages showing that the drugs you are selling have a positive benefit to people, while discouraging the selling of illegal and dangerous drugs to anyone who'll buy them. You talk about people driving drunk, but that doesn't change the original point, which is that people who do that are actively pushed not to through various avenues like "persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized". Yes, people do these things, but they are told not to. That's the point. Exceptions to the rule in this case actually prove the rule, because we can see how those exceptions are treated as a result. So your delusions will continue to defy reality, and the goalposts shall never be in the same place twice while you're arguing disingenuously.

  8.  @maclivingston9268  You're misquoting yourself now. That's what I mean by moving goalposts. Get a grip Mac.

  9.  @pmodrat  "The medical system was involved. The corporations." False. It was the government working with a University. "They passed STD to mentally ill people there and it was global." In the 40s. "I am a minority and will not trust them or you in any way." Your race or ethnicity is no excuse for ignorance.

  10.  @HiddenRoar  Are those open because people quit, or because of record deaths among police?

  11.  @HiddenRoar  "Officers quitting due to lack of respect/belligerence from Defund the Police/BLM/Democrats BEFORE 2020." Not really. Federal data on police leaving their jobs doesn't match your stats. "bout 700 in all of the U.S., while you're looking at more than double of that from cops who are going home in just Chicago alone" But not fired. They are required to report vaccination status, but are free to get regular testing without being vaxed. They'll come around eventually, they always do. Travelling nurse companies saw the same issue, right up until they didn't. "Seattle, California as a whole, NYC, Honolulu, etc (notice it's all Democrat cities)" Well basically every large city in the US is a Democrat city, so that doesn't exactly narrow it down. Expose to other people will do that. Even the cities in Texas vote left. "Good luck with telling yourself the lie that people are lining up to replace cops that walk." Considering around 1% of officer left between 2019 and 2020, the actual number of cops only changed by 0.08%. They were replaced in the same year. Now we are seeing a few extra quitting in 2021, but considering the number was only 1%, and the total is only increasing by 18%, that's only 1.18%. Even then the mitigation is massive as shown from 2020 numbers. At the end of the say US cops tend to be more conservative, and are therefore more vaccine hesitant. Cops will threaten to quit, most won't, life will go on.
