@user-fp6rn2km4i I think you will find that the majority of people who don't think it's right to force people to take it.....are mainly the people who haven't taken it take it (and politicians who think it helps them politically to take that stance). But from a logical public health perspective (which is one of the main responsibilities of a government) it is perfectly reasonable to force people to vaccinate against a contagious disease. We did it with measles! If this was some kind of airborne Ebola, I don't think mandates would be controversial at all. But because everyone thinks they will be okay (obviously not the case) the "you can't take away my right to stay unprotected" politics takes over. I encourage you to consider how overworked ER doctors feel about vaccine mandates (vs your freedom to choose).

@mattfrue2698 I didn't realize so many anti-vax people watched the Daily Show. Seems counterintuitive since he is going to make fun of you. Only 28 percent of the adult population still hasn't been vaccinated. But they will gladly take a non-FDA approved experimental drug like Regeneron to help them out in the hospital. Please help me understand the logic behind that 😣

@mattfrue2698 Ahh, so now it comes out. It's more about "freedom" from being told what to do. All the other "medical arguments" were just excuses for you to go against the grain. Just like "we have to wait for FDA approval". Oh well. No one ever said we needed 100% vaxed. Most people who said they would NEVER get it are now open to getting it. People saying "never" is down to 15 percent and dropping. 85 percent of the population vaccinated should be more than sufficient to return us to normal life AKA true freedom.

@mattfrue2698 Just an FYI, it's only a mic drop moment when the majority of people agree with you. But they don't. Like I said, I have no problem being a sheep if it's logical. Kind of like how most people were taught not to walk out into highway traffic. Guess that makes us all farm animals. But if you "think for yourself" I guess you could try dodging the cars and pat yourself on the back if you survive. Freedom!! But what was the point? Just to push back against authority. Yay, now you're a real man. Smart people can't tell you what to do.

@mattfrue2698 I didn't give up my freedom. I was excited to get the shot. For one, I like science. And two, I had a family member die from Covid before the vaccine was available. So I scheduled an appointment as soon as it was available for my age group. So you can probably imagine I was a little frustrated when we had to shut down again at the end of the summer because thousands "healthy" people kept filling up hospitals when they found out their immune systems were losing to the Delta variant. To me, freedom means not having to alter my behavior because of other people's bad judgment. Why must we continue to live with Covid 24/7 just to make 1/4 of the population comfortable?

@user-fp6rn2km4i You could also say that the vaccine is an economic problem. - How much do businesses lose when one of their employees has to take 2 weeks after they tested positive? Or when everyone sho had contact with that person has to quarantine? - How much money does it cost a business's bottom line for every employee who has to take a month or two off after getting hospitalized? - How much does it hurt a company's productivity when an employee can't walk up a flight of stairs because Covid damaged their lungs? How much does it disrupt a university every time there is an outbreak? Much easier to just mandate the vaccine, especially when they now know that when push comes to shove, 90-95 percent will comply rather than lose their job or get kicked out of school.

@user-fp6rn2km4i Well I'm not one to root for bad things to happen to people, but what else can they do besides fire them or put them on unpaid leave? It wouldn't really be a mandate if there were no consequences for not complying 🤷🏾‍♂️. I can't imagine that most people would be willing to lose their source of income just because they heard one too many conspiracy theories from friends or social media about the vaccine being "too risky." But that's just my logic, I can't speak for other people. I got my shot more than 6 months ago as soon as it was available, even though I already had Covid back in 2020.

@mattfrue2698 Well now you HAVE heard of Regeneron. If you want more information, you're already on the internet 🙃
1
@mattfrue2698 So I'm the sheep. But you purposely avoid information you don't want to see. Seems sheep-like. And a great way to stay up-to-date on relevant information 👍

@mattfrue2698 Funny because those are some of the long term effects of Covid. In addition to the obvious lung scarring. Why are you proving my point for me?
1
@mattfrue2698 Tell me one vaccine EVER where the side effects didn't show up until more than a year later. It has NEVER happened in the history of medicine. You fears are overblown. Of course you would know this if you actually "asked questions" and "did your research".
1
@mattfrue2698 Yes, I generally am afraid of ending up in the hospital. Or getting my friends and family sick. Is that bad?? And to be frank, the ingredients list is quite easy to find online. Pretty easy to see what's in it. But my guess is you're probably not interested
1
@mattfrue2698 My jab is pretty safe. But like I said, you can look up the ingredients. You're a smart guy!
1
@mattfrue2698 It's funny how you think I'm offended by the whole sheep thing. I don't mind following the crowd if It's common sense. In fact I'm sitting here thinking you've lost your mind for prioritizing freedom to stay unprotected over public health.
