Vaccine vs. Mask

[bpj]

No more driving until everybody wears their seatbelts!

I told you about my invention? Seat belts for arm chairs just in case there is an earthquake when you are watching TV!

Hey, if Fauci says they need it, they'll buy it!

We are overdue for The Big One in Seattle. That's why even when I'm on the crapper, I buckle up.

Is this true?

So the tests they've been using have been picking up cold/flu?

So, the flu didn't just disappear then?

So "covid", in many cases, actually was the flu?

So they have no idea how many of those covid deaths would have been flu deaths in any other year?

Clownshow.

I just don't buy the masking up policies equating to controlling your life. It's a mask. You don't become a socialist because you wore a mask.

Wore a mask for the 1st time in a long time yesterday - had to take kid 1 to Urgent Care. 2 1/2 hours of my life I won't get back. I didn't feel my freedom taken away though.

I agree that masks in public indoor places weren't a big deal but in terms of empathy think about someone that has a phobia of needles or that are paranoid about vaccines even if its OCD or irrational (btw drugs typically take 12 years to go from discovery to commercialization vs. 8 months for this vax) so a lot of it is rational skepticism.

So now they have to choose between having a job and being able to go to restaurants and gyms and events or having major anxiety an making a healthcare decision against their will. Its just wrong on so many levels and it makes no sense. The only people at risk are those that choose to be.

So you have empathy for someone that fears a vaccine or needle, but not for someone who bows out of their Olympic event.

The research of a virus pandemic didn't start 8 months ago - it's been ~10 years in the making. Doctors are recommending the vaccine - shouldn't we just listen to our doctor? I have a 7 yr old that has had 3 heart surgeries. I have my opinions of the vaccine, but I literally just do what his cardiologist tells us to do. She says to get the vaccine so we just did it.

NOTE - Yes, I went to a prestigious college of Wazzu - I might have drank, smoked weed, and chased tail around for 5 years so I'm also very smart. But I just listened to our doctor instead. Crazy times.

Biggest risk I've heard that people are worried about for kids is infertility.

And, of course, a lifetime of reactions we have no idea what they will be yet.

The doctor gets $6,000 for every covid vaccine they give out, and have no risk of being sued, they're just doing their jobs! I have no idea why they'd push them...

But, yeah, good for you smartybritches.

If your doctor told you to jump off a bridge... ?

Huh. In the late 30's, Hitler and his cronies forced Jews to wear a yellow star on their clothing. Easy to control the population that way. Must be a good guy if you don't wear the yellow star.

Ah, but now you must be a good guy if you wear a mask! That is your "yellow star" to prove you are one of the "good guys." Kind of a reversal on an old theme! And to make certain you wear your mask, we won't vaccinate "the children" under the age of 13.

Apples and oranges, Coug. A false analogy, The two are in no way similar.

So the left says that minorities have lessor access to vaccines. But then they come up with Vax mandates to punish the unvaccinated. LOL
