| The vaccine haters are sooo weird and unhinged. Of course mistakes were made, but they were made in the context of battling a once in a century pandemic that ultimately killed over 1 million Americans. Why wouldn’t public health officials and the public itself want to err on the side of caution? It was a no-win situation for the entire friggin planet for Pete’s sake. |
Making your own healthcare decisions isn’t a “culture war” issue. It’s a basic civil right. |

Correct. People lost jobs for refusing vaccines. I know three of them. |
+1 People forget how many died every single week back in 2020 before vaccines. Do you not remember how in NYC there were body bags in the hallways of hospitals as burials could not keep up with the deaths? I do. Want to know why? One of my friends - one of the most loving and kind people I will ever know - was in one of those orange body bags. Vaccines saved us whether you agreed with them or not. |
Show us, at any given point in time (outside of healthcare) that people had to show their vaccination status to their employers to keep their jobs. Keep in mind that the federal government required these forced vaccines on anyone that did work with the federal government, so that encapsulated over 80 MILLION workers. From linemen to Walmart stockers. Show me one time, that these types of jobs required proof of any type of vaccine to stay employed. |
And another thing. Blue states were withholding unemployment payments for people that were let go from their jobs because of covid vaccine refusal. You guys were literally starving people out. Damn straight many of us will never forget how democrats treated people in the pandemic. |
I'd say that it is less onerous to travel over to the next state for a quick abortion (or heaven forbid, be responsible with your sex health) than getting tested weekly to keep your job. |
Fun fact, after Rowe v Wade was dismantled and sent to the states, abortion rates went UP. So much for your forced procreation BS. https://www.axios.com/2023/10/24/abortion-increase-roe-wade-state-ban |
WTF? No, a nasal swab once a week is infinitely easier than driving several hours, each way, finding accommodations, finding and scheduling a provider, having multiple appts, having a vaginal ultrasounds, having anesthesia, having minor surgical procedure, and having a friend go with you fit all of that. My kids did a nasal swab daily to play sports and they weren’t crybabies about it. It took 1 minute. You’re still soooo mad about this 1 minute swab _years later_ that you want to force women to carry pregnancies and give birth (both potentially life threatening) against their will. That is majorly fcked up. |
DP Me. I did. I work for a Fortune 500 company based in Tysons. If I didn’t show proof of vaccination my career there was over. Let’s not whitewash the coercion of the previous two years. I still have some very hard feelings about having to get that vaccine, pointless as it was. I got covid 7 weeks after getting my second booster. Wife got the Pfizer and is still having weird reactions 17 months later. |
If it was your DNA, you’d be tight. |
Where? Source? |
| Right^^ |
Man you really do have issues. You’re also an idiot. Thanks to the vaccine you got covid and it didn’t kill you. As for your wife, I’m sure she’s fine and she apparently never got covid herself. |
