Why give it a rest? This is still a requirement until/unless schools change their policy. The vaccine is literally not available to children under 12 in much of the world yet required in DC schools. Does that not spark some sort of questions? It should. Are the average DC children somehow that much more fragile? If so, let's get to the bottom of why. Is it the water? Is it the food? I would ask all the questions I could think of, stop, speak with some, debate, and come up with more. |
| and it's pretty ableist to say "blah blah blah" about my disabilities. you're a witch |
Jesus Christ lady, 1 million Americans DIED from Covid. It was a once in a century crisis. Mistakes were made. Risks were taken. There was collateral damage. I’m sure IF you were one of them. And yes I mean IF. |
Food allergies and headaches are not a disability. Good grief. |
It actually wasn't a once in a century crisis. We made it into one but the countries who locked down and those who really didn't- mostly had the same outcome. Same as the US overall. Comparing California to Florida doesn't really yield substantial difference when accounting for population age and all of that. But while that's all relevant, in this case, its beside the point. What is the point is that there absolutely was collateral damage in people being forced to do something they didn't want to and now, now...especially as evident on just this sampling of a thread, the response is get over it. Move on. $ell no! |
Oh go storm the Capitol or something. |
Troll. No parent of a new B student would say this. |
I so love when someone provides information that's counter to your narrative that you wish to believe with no basis in fact, your response is to insult. Especially since wasn't that the exact thing we (yes, we because I am one) democrats hated Trump for? He resorted to name calling and insults when confronted with something he didn't want to believe? My how the tables have turned. |
Look, you totally missed the point of my initial response. I said clearly “mistakes were made.” It’s a helluva lot easier to say with the benefit of hindsight that some of the more draconian measures taken weren’t worth it. But tens of thousands of people were dropping dead each week at the height of Covid, and I’m not going to vilify scientists and public health officials who were doing the best they could at the time to try and stop that. That’s the difference between you and me. |
Good to know. I’m going to whip out the peanuts and peanut butter |
Np. The problem is you can't be so flippant like you are saying "some mistakes were made" as if its not actually a big deal. Many people at the time had questions and not only were they silenced, they were completely vilified by people here, people in the community, people on the TV and people in this current administration. So while this is apparently some minor misunderstanding to you, we will NEVER forget what people like you did. |
You have no idea lady. I'm not talking 1 food allergy. I'm talking allergic to most foods. And yes, it can actually constitute a compensable disability. From SSA and for veterans. |
Are your trying to make an argument about consistency? Because I'm pro-healthcare. To me, that means women's health and wellness (pregnancy care or access to abortion) AND preventative medicine (regular check-ups and vaccines). |
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown. Too many people are too invested and will never accept that both lockdowns and vaccine mandates were gross overreaches by power-mad bureaucrats, and that they were leading the charge of “burn the witch” against people who were saying things that have proven correct. Few if any have the maturity to ask themselves: “are we the baddies?” |
Look! You are missing the point! When someone disagrees with your opinion, states facts you don’t agree with, or dares think differently than you so, your come back is an insult. Do better! |
