If one is being called a sheep, it's most likely due to the fact that the sheep won't stop bahhhhhhing at people who won't follow the herd.

You do you, bro.

It’s true that there isn’t logic. Last summer before vaccines she had many people in her house with no masks. Eating and drinking etc. Now you can’t go to her house unless you are vaccinated? Yes I know she is pregnant now but this past summer her friend was pregnant and that didn’t stop anyone from going to her house without the vaccine or masks.

Shes been brainwashed by the left wing media and the socialist side of the Government. You are 10-20x more likely to die in a car accident on the ride there than Covid.

People can make whatever rules they want in their own homes. If I were pregnant, I'd be a lot more careful than I am now because pregnancy puts you at a high risk of covid complications. So that could be why she had people in her house last summer without masks.

One of my friends made it a rule that you had to be up to date on your pertussis vaccine if you wanted to meet her baby before he was 6 months old (when he'd have several doses of his own vaccine by then). Her baby, her rules.

My household is vaccinated. We haven't really had anyone over yet (we just got our second shots last week). My daughter is having two friends over next weekend and I don't know if they are vaccinated yet. She told them that we are all vaxed our house and that they are both welcome to come if they are both comfortable with it. They can come inside if they want, or they can hang out in the yard, have a bonfire, swim, whatever they want and feel safe with. If heaven forbid I were pregnant, though, then I'd be more likely to have them stay outside unless they were vaxed.

We've been told that they aren't able to spread the cv. People need to get their stories straight.

1) Because it is their house. If you want to attend. Their house. Their rules. If not vaccinated, decline.

2) I am not for forcing people via govt decree or quasi versions of this re vaccine passports. I do view this antivaxxer stuff with an eye roll. If everyone got vaccinated the transmission rate would be 1 in ~1000 and it would be rare. Severe reactions are literally one in millions.

Nothing I can do about it to make people get away from their conspiracies and self created beliefs.

Many Dems this day still think Nick Sandman was the aggressor even though there is positive proof he was not. People believe what they WANT to. Both sides do it.

I laughed - that was a very loaded response. Too loaded.

There is a part of me that thinks people who say it's NBD to wear a piece of cloth over their face are deliberately obtuse. In my case it's distinctively uncomfortable and alien. And I feel sorry for several relatives who are profoundly deaf and rely extensively on lip reading - they've lost so much public social interaction ever since the pandemic broke out and yet receive no sympathy.

As it is, mask wearing around me is rapidly declining and I live in a staunchly blue area. It's becoming more interesting to see who is still wearing masks in public.

Also-Its probabilities. if the vaccine was 100% then yeah-I dont think most folks would care. but its not. if its 95% that means a 1 in 20. and if both folks are vaccinated it drops to 1 in 400.

uh huh. sure. and also just like the US during multiple disease events in the past. Any other nonsense?
Covid is not a disease. It is a virus similar to influenza. We have dealt with influenza for a very long time and have not fell prey to any of this nonsense.

Bill Maher attempts to answer your question in this video. Hes a comedian and its HBO, so its a little crass at times.

-Compared to other countries, our MSM went all negative, even as things got better
-Many people are wildly off in their understanding of covid and hospitalizations


The UK eliminated 96% of their covid death by vaccinating the high risk with 1 shot, why should anyone else be taking any risk? Already there are stories out where babies are coincidentally dying after the vax. - link
