How about you stop pretending like it's anything like the push we're seeing now.
I'm not. But there is absolutely a push for the flu vaccine every year. Y'all have just become accustom to it. Seeing "Get your flu vaccine shots here!" at every Walgreens doesn't push people into a rage like COVID vaccine signs.

They're not even remotely similar, and you know it.
A campaign is a campaign. COVID is obviously the hot new virus, so of course its going to be more right now.

When is the last time businesses even considered mandating the flu vaccines for it's employees?
almost certain some hospitals mandate the flu vaccine
and my company gets nurses to come to our office to give us flu shots, no talk of anything about the COVID vaccines

This is totally the same as what's happening now. Mandates and all that.

This is "true" in the same vein that a campaign for comptroller for Amite, LA is the same thing as a campaign for president of the United States of America.
I mean, they're technically the same thing, right?

He is in timeout
His brother was loud and proud about giving the finger to Covid and the vaccine despite having all the elevated risks (over 50, overweight, diabetes, COPD, etc.)
His brother went into the hospital 10 days ago.
He was put on a ventilator on Sunday
He died on Tuesday.
If your goal is to spread fear in hopes that people behave in a way you that you approve, it won’t work on me. I am a healthy 35 year old with none of the health risks associated with this man.
I’ve never once said that people shouldn’t get vaccinated if they choose to do that. I am unshakably against government or anyone else making those decisions for someone else despite their objections.
fricking liberals used to be in favor of that kind of personal choice.

i try my best not to stir shite with you, evaluate your posts, and find common ground before responding. but this is some disingenuous horseshite and the exact type of post that makes me suspicious of your bias.
nobody anywhere. outside of the medical field obsessed over the flu like society is obsessing over COVID. at any level. stop it.

I literally said it wasn't "totally the same".
Just that there are large campaigns to push the flu vaccine every year, which means they are actively trying to get more people to get it.

You're right. There are no major pushes for the flu vaccine every year. There are not signs everywhere, no billboards, no traveling nurses giving the shots to businesses, no hospital mandates, no flu shots being administered to schools, ect.

Cool. Now tell me the last time you saw "No flu shot, must wear mask" signs on every store front.
To act like the treatment of the covid vaccine is the same as the yearly flu shot is downright ignorant.

well that isn't even my argument, but ok
dude said nobody cared about people not getting the flu shot
I disagreed and offered the clear campaigns to get people to get the flu shot as evidence

Here's my quote in case you forgot:

I don't ever remember people choosing not to get them being such an issue.
Ironically, your responses only prove my statement as accurate.

You’re letting the mask slip a little by comparing what we’ve seen regarding COVID to the seasonal flu.

That's not what I said at all. I said it's not treated the same way as not getting the covid vaccine.
Maybe you should have read more carefully?

those campaigns are literally there to get more people to NOT choose to not get the flu shot

I realize your on some kind of "gotcha" fishing expedition, but I'll bite. I'm bored.
It's not my distrust of "the system" (although I don't trust a single person involved in DC or state politics) that is the reason I'm not getting the vaccine. It's due to the fact that I've already had covid and had sinus infections with worse symptoms. If I come down with covid a second time and it takes me out, then I guess it was just my time to go.
I'm a relatively young, relatively healthy person. I had the chickenpox when I was a kid. The vaccine had not come out yet. I'm not going to get the chickenpox vaccine now either. I am not a fan of unnecessarily putting substances in my body.

take a look at Pentagon’s post history. He’s got a friend who’s son is dying of COVID because he passed it him? A close friend who’s an ICU nurse in Pittsburgh. A sister who’s also a nurse in Laffy working at a hospital. A cousin who worked on the Moderna vaccine. And an Uncle who’s a professor of neurobiology.
And that’s just skimming through his last 30 posts.
Sounds like he’s absolutely tailor made to speak about COVID. Every possible related COVID topic, he’s an expert on and has more experience or insight than anyone here…..
…Or he’s full of shite and these are all lies.

Posed the same request to the other poster. Maybe you'll actually answer.

Change your fricking handle boy. There is nothing about you that is styled by a Southerner.

Covid has been here in the States at least since February of last year, probably sooner, I haven't taken the vaccine and I'm still very much alive.
Take it if you want, I have no objection, but I ain't.
