Exactly! I eat plant based and take a vitamin regimen daily. I take no medications and at almost 60 years old, I have no medical issues. I have never taken a vaccine (including the flu shot and I have never had the flu) since I was a child and I do not plan to start now so that some lunatics feel safer after they have taken their Covid vaccine.

I have nothing more to say to you.
Who 'refuses to think of others?' I'm thinking of others trying to preserve a free country. Authoritarianism kills people. Look at history. Besides, no one is preventing you from protecting yourself from Covid, through vaccines, boosters, masks, or staying home.

Where do we draw the line at people who 'put others at risk?' Those who aren't getting boosters? Those with low vitamin D (who get sick with all sorts of things)? The obese, who don't mount a good response to the vaccines? Drug users, who also don't mount a good response? People who don't take care of their health put us all at risk by clogging up hospitals, so should we mandate diets?

And 'at risk' for what? People die from things besides Covid. Politicians put people at risk mandating vaccines and reducing firefighters, police, EMTs, health care workers....I guess if someone dies in a fire, that's okay because at least they weren't pulled from the flames by an unvaxxed firefighter?

We are only 2 years into this, it may take years to find a final solution that eliminates covid. But we have ALREADY reduced regular flu by taking simple precautions.
What about 20% efficacy after 6 months do you not understand?

This exactly. And this is EXACTLY where this country is heading if we do not wake up.

No one says it does. Your being vaccinated reduces the likelihood that you'll pass the virus on to someone else. Rather a simple concept, eh?

When getting knocked up is contagious, we'll get back to you.


Unwanted pregnancies are 100% preventable.
(Again outside of cases of actual rape)


But do get back to us when the government mandates that you MUST have an abortion, or even be on birth control in order to keep your job.

By your not getting vaccinated for a PREVENTABLE disease, YOU STEAL resources from people who are sick with diseases that are UNpreventable. Like cancer, or stroke. People are DYING because mostly republicans are filling the hospitals because they are too full of themselves to have any consideration for others. It is REPREHENSIBLE.

We didn't have this problem with smallpox or polio. I remember as a kid everyone lining up at county health SO OTHERS WOULDN'T DIE! And we ELIMINATED the disease. We ALL worked TOGETHER.

We COULD do this with MOST disease, except for the ignorant right wing extremists who are dragging the entire world down.

WHY are 90% of democrats vaccinated and only 40% of Trumpers?

This is NOT about "mah freedom" it is about NOT GETTING SICK!

Do you LIKE being sick? If so, when my cancer comes back, you can have it. Because BEING SICK SUCKS!

Now shut up and go get vaccinated.
Far out! und Seig Hiel! to you, too.

Because you obviously believe that everyone else should be coerced into what (in your mindset) provides the "Greatest Common Good".

You've forgotten someone -- and you probably don't care.

I have two nephews (by the same parents) The older of the two will function as an eight-year old for the rest of his life, possibly due to a vaccine reaction.

And now, people who think your way would like to force the same risk on his younger brother, in the name of "the Greater Good of all".

I'll be waiting to see if you have the guts to respond to this.

How many vaccine shots and boosters will be too many for you? What if after getting all the shots and boosters the powers that be decide that you still need to submit to twice a week nasal swabs to keep your job. Still happy?

Now what if they decide that you MUST take a prescription of Ivermectin as a preventative measure. Still o.k.?

And you want your boss, HR, the security guard at the front desk to be able to look at your medical records to ensure that you have been complying with all of the hoop jumping mandate orders?

Getting "knocked up" one night and an abortion the next week is not contagious, it is an IQ problem.
