1. first off this is not a vaccination..... it will not PREVENT you from getting the virus (like the measles vaccination), it only reduces the symptoms...like the flu shot


2. the effective rate is supposedly 95%...that is a good thing... but it still leave 5% that wont be covered


3. none of the current 'vaccination' are allowed for children under 16.... moderna is running tests for 12-16, but does not have anything substantial yet


4. J&J just said that it may require a YEARLY shot

5. Both Pfizer and Moderna have stated they have no idea how long the coverage will be for (could be less than 9 months)


6. IF...IF the coverage is less than 9 months...and it could take a year to get everyone and initial shot (just talking USA , pop just over 330mil, and they HOPE to be able to administer close to 1mil shots a day (they are not even close to that right now))..then just how with coverage of 9 months yet initial inoculations taking a year or more , just how will we EVER reach herd immunity





7. to the threads beginning.... I don't see how any company can make an experimental vaccination mandatory

I think there's a misunderstanding here. They aren't stopping you from flying without the vaccine. They are simply stopping you from flying on their airline without the vaccine. You are still welcome to fly.

ok ill go with the idea that in order to work in a place you have to get vaccinated even though I would never work in that place.

don't you think its going too far that in order to buy food (because every grocery store now requires vaccine papers) you need a vaccine?

I believe that business owners have rights.

How are businesses taking your rights away? Which rights are they removing?

You don't have a right to work at any specific business. A a business refuses you employment, that's not violating your rights.

You also don't have a right to walk into any place of business and obtain service. If a business wants to refuse you service, they are not violating your rights.

I would imagine the civil rights act of 1964 would come into play here.

Yes, it is a vaccination.

This is how a company makes the vaccine mandatory.

Attention all employees. It is a condition of employment that all employees be vaccinated by July 1,2021.

Any employee not vaccinated by this date will be terminated.

So if the employer does not mandate the vaccine, an employee contracts Covid and spreads it to others, that employee should be put to death if someone else dies, right?

I know for damn sure if I'm shopping for a place for an elderly relative I'd be asking about what they are doing to prevent Covid infections and having all employees vaccinated would be high on my list of what I'd like to hear.

Basically you've decided not only is it your right not to get vaccinated but that the rights of businesses should be trampled on and government should forcibly make businesses endanger their customers and other employees to support your so called right.

The world doesn't revolve around you.
this virus has a 99 percent survival rate.

1. Fair enough and good point.
2. Yes. I agree.
3. Ok.
4. Ok.
5. Ok.
6. Ok.
7. Why not?

I think you're assuming that we'll never have a normal vaccination or that the three we have today will be the only ones to exist. You or I cannot predict the future.
