Once people get power they don't give it up without a fight.
And not too many are fighting it.

I bet your friend goes and gets a test or shot.

Optics and virtue signaling, mainly. But events requiring this are in the minority at this point. Since April I have been to a large conference and multiple concerts/live theater performances and there have been no restrictions at all.

Are we suggesting now that no one should have to have any immunizations or just the COVID one.
Let's start with the ones that work. The Covid one is irrelevant if you get it or not because it doesn't work. Yes it can help people who are vulnerable but that's it. There is absolutely no reason a healthy person who by now probably has had Covid at least once to continue this charade.

If I didn't have the Polio vaccine I would get it, because it is proven to work and has a long history and has proven itself.

The former were all tested on so many people over a period of many years. Covid vaccine was thrown together in months, tested on a minimum number of people and approved for emergency use only. Covid also has over a 90% survival rate for healthy individuals. The other vaccines pretty much eliminated polio and other diseases in this country. Covid vaccine does nothing to eliminate the virus or keep people from getting it or spreading it.


Apples and oranges you are trying to compare.

^^^^ yeah, this


while I supported the idea of 'warp speed' the rollout ignored basic science we were told to accept w/o question and now we have what we have. To an outside observer, the only sure way to get the disease more than once, is to get the vax, especially more than once. I question if this was the desired outcome.

The only way to get the message across would be if no one attended the convention.

But we all know that won't happen. People will show up with their "vaccine pass" or negative test.

Because we live in a society filled with morons. And far too often those morons find their way to a position of power.
