And then perhaps give people tattoos on the forearms for those who refuse to get the vaccine.

Can you sit in the nonsmoking section if you are a smoker who is not presently smoking? You can? I think we've found the answer to your question then.

The vaccinated may discover that they aren't protected from getting COVID as much as they think they are. Still a lot of unknowns with these vaccines. Enjoy your false sense of security.

It's good when the mask slips a bit and our friends on the left let us catch a glimpse of their inner Nazi.

Let's not forget it.

This is true. I'm not against the Polio and Small Pox vax. Those have been rigidly tested and proved to have done their job. This thing out now is no more than a flu shot. I know from personal experience, sometimes flu shots work, sometimes they don't. And when we are dealing with a virus that affects a small portion of the population and has a high recovery rate, well, the vaccine seems kind of useless. It's exactly what I see it is, the stepping stones to creating the Mark of the Beast, or a totalitarian world where the government will decide your every move.

Sure, today it's just the vaccine, but one day, it's going to anything that is not healthy for you is bad, and will be illegal. The drugs that are legal now will become illegal. Say good bye to your BBQ's, chocolate, maybe even coffee because it stains your teeth and does react to your body like a chemical.

Why stop there? Contact sports really raise the costs of health care, so might as well make them illegal. So no more basketball, football and certainly no boxing or wrestling.

Sex is a leading cause of disease, so let's ban that as well. If you want children, we will create artificially insemination clinics where we make sure your baby will be healthy and free of all diseases and birth defects.

The analogy to a 'smoking room' is a poor one.

Smoking is an activity. The same as 'talking' is in a library, which you aren't allowed to do except in certain, designated areas.

Vaccination status is a status, not an activity. No comparable.

He will likely lose if any of them want to make an issue of it by going to court. Clearly there is no compelling state need in stopping private businesses from requiring vaccines. To the contrary actually. I'd like to see more of it. People who refuse vaccines should be discriminated against. They are perpetuating a pandemic that is killing people and inhibiting economic activity.

What if you have relatives you love, that are senior citizens and you don't want to put them at any risk by exposing yourself? What if you want to take every reasonable precaution to keep your senior family members safe?

You will need to step to the back of the bus on this failed thread.
Enjoy the fumes.

Presumably, they're vaccinated. Taking precautions to protect people from a disease that they're vaccinated for is itself unreasonable, so in this case "reasonable precaution" is a nonsensical formulation. Next...
