I'm actually surprised by that. I stand corrected.

Wait. People, whose job literally requires them to come in close contact with people who enter a facility because they are ill shouldn’t be vaccinated?

I just saw a video of people protesting masks outside a cancer treatment facility. Was that you?

Honestly, I am too (and was why I curiously went off and looked it up).

The pattern I keep banging on however, continues to fit.

4 lowest counties by vaccination rate:
Hampden - 57%
Bristol - 59%
Hampshire - 61%
Plymouth - 65%

Bristol, Hampden and Plymouth (Bristol and Plymouth aren’t exactly rural) counties are about as Red as MA gets.

Hampshire Co is as Liberal as any place not named Boston in the state…..but is home to UMass, Hampshire College, Amherst College, Smith College and Holyoke College so I figure that explains the lower vax rates

Nope. It wasn't me....I don't know anything about the video.

I hope you realize my question was in jest. Your reply did make me laugh (like you got my humor) however.

Each vaccine's ingredients *have been* disclosed, in writing. I read each of them months ago.

That is transparency.

The statistics for each vaccine have also been disclosed.

That too is transparency.

No vaccine has ever been or will ever be 100% perfect and cause no issues for anyone, anywhere. That's an unrealistic requirement because <humans are not all the same>.

If the EUA vaccines are so safe then why does big pharma need legal liability immunity...??

Why do people carry insurance (liability, property loss, etc) on their homes? Why do people carry collision, liability & property damage insurance on their vehicles? Why are doctors insured?

You apparently didn't understand the question. Big pharma has been granted legal liability immunity from lawsuits resulting from EUA vaccines. That has nothing to do with having insurance.

If a person suffers long term medical disability injury or even death from the EUA vaccines then they or their survivors are on their own with no financial recourse. The government does have a National Vaccine Injury Compensation program, but good luck finding a doctor that will say an injury or medical condition was caused by the vaccines.

There's still too much they don't really know about the long term affects of these mRNA vaccines and for me it's not worth the risk at any incentive or price. Once you get the mRNA vaccine there's no turning back, good or bad. No thanks.

You make it sound like this inability to sure is new. The law protecting vaccine makers from being sued was passed in 1986 and in 2011 a supreme court ruling clarified the types of lawsuits vaccine makers are protected from in the vaccine act. COVID vaccines are not being treated differently than any other vaccine.
