The same folks who do not want mandates are those who are trying to convince other people not to vaccinate.
I thought you could still get infected if you were vaccinated?

This "folk" does not want the mandates, but I would never try and convince anyone to not get vaccinated. I have noticed that the folks who want mandates to continue, and in fact get harsher, are those who want to force everyone to get vaccinated, and bully anyone that doesn't.

What do you propose to do about the obesity issue? Doctors have been advising patients to maintain a healthy weight even before COVID-19 hit.

You taking your chances puts others at risk and prolongs the epidemic.



More money will be spent treating the infection than on the vaccine.
My taking chances in no way puts others at risk. I have been out and about, eating in restaurants, attending events, flying to another state, and I have not gotten the virus. Therefore, I have put NO ONE at risk.

The obesity issue is too complex to go into, and isn't the topic here.

Any doctor can prescribe ivermectin or fluvoxamine off label. The data on ivermectin is not convincing and that on fluvoxamine is just being reported.

Not a single drug has "years of history" with SARS-CoV-2. The vaccines have large, robust studies and data collection in Israel is confirming the results of those studies.


India is not capturing all of its cases and deaths.

Also, less than 7% of the population is over age 65.
Neither do mandates, as California shows. They have virtually the same infections and deaths as Florida, in spite of draconian mandates.

Treating DOES stop hospitalizations and deaths, which is the issue here, I believe.

Why care about politics? I work with 2 women who are ardent Biden supporters, and they won't take the vaccine either.

Trump got the vaccine.

Interesting that he did not want that information to get out to his supporters.

I dont think its anyones business who gets the vaccine. No one has any responsibility to tell others of their personal choice and a true supporter would stand by those decisions and not let it effect their own decision.

Garlic tablets are sold as a supplement. Should there be a sign in the produce section saying this product is not meant to be used for medicinal purpose?

Same here. Plus Biden also said, "A vaccine available for every American who WANTS it" I will go along with that. Have my vaccine.

I just got the JNJ shot. I did have a sore arm. But got that from the Shingles vaccine too.


Yes, you should get the vaccine.


My doctors said they will prevent you from dying from covid-19.



I am glad to have gotten the vaccine. It changed my mood to sunny from glum.
