People who will not get the vaccine, especially the people who post misinformation about the risk. If they smoke they are taking a huge risk. If the drive, take supplements, take OTC or prescriptions, they are taking a much bigger risk.

The way you answered the question. You make it sound like since YOU don't know that there aren't any.

The point is smoking, being fat, drinking, driving, OTC and prescription drugs are many orders of magnitude more dangerous than the COVID-19 vaccines. Hundreds of millions of doses plus clinical trials all over the world prove it.

They can't wait to start injecting the toddlers and babies. I give up trying to figure them out.

The point is simple, there are people who cannot be vaccinated (chemo patients, autoimmune disorders) and there are people who will not generate a strong immune response. People who are not vaccinated can infect and kill those people. Your freedom does not superseded their freedom. That is why in most places you cannot smoke in indoor public places.

I answered your question honestly and you got angry and defensive. Maybe you’re mad to hear that I don’t smoke and don’t personally know anyone who is anti vaccine who does?

All of those things put one at much greater risk when it comes to covid or any other illness for that matter. You seem really angry and upset that not everyone wants this vaccine.

Don't look down on others who smoke and are against vaccines. Until you know how addictive cigs are and the mental and physical problems associated with trying to quit is.I slowed down a lot from smoking, took up walking and exercising. And my wife knows, if I try to quit right now, it could be hazardous to people's health at home because of the stress that adult kids and their offspring creates at home with the never at fault, never does more than anything necessarily, and the constant lying of 4 narcissistic psychopaths that unfortunately live with me and my wife.

It was a sad day when I told her I rather be at work than home with them living there.

But hey, apparently people think what's best for others. Especially when they have absolutely no clue on what goes on in other people's private lives.
Unless you were already a teenager when the Surgeon General’s report came out (1966, IIRC), why did you start smoking ?

I don't smoke but I used to. I didn't care that it was unhealthy, I just enjoyed it. I also go to the gym 5 days a week, not because I care about my health, but because I want to look good. Point being, people do things for different reasons even though it may seem absurd to others. Just let people be people and if what they are doing bothers you, just walk away or change the subject.

Because I was a violent teenager. I took part of some knock out games way before it became popular. I had a short fuse. If a person looked at me in a bad way, I would fix his face. It calmed my nerves.

It was the only thing that gave me a time out, to start thinking about how my actions were leading me to incarceration.
