Catching a virus that I have almost 100% chance of surviving? Not really that comparable to protecting myself from those other serious injuries

I don't think there should be a mandate, but this isn't going the way of complete government control like some people suggest.


Yea slippery slopes aren't real or anything

Wait until you see Biden's 6 point plan today to see just how Marxist this administration is.

I made a personal decision to get it. That's all that matters.

I think it's up to everyone else to make their own decisions as well and I support whatever decision they make. It's not your job to "protect" me and it's not my job to "protect" you, so I don't care what anyone else does.



Pay attention statists. This is the only way for an American to view things like this. If that confuses you or makes you mad, then it’s because you don’t understand what America is, or what it’s founded upon, or you simply don’t care, and that is a problem that nobody can fix.

Vaccines "work" when they allow the immune system to learn to react appropriately to a virus THAT'S IN THE BODY! Vaccinated people get covid... vaccinated people are more likely to fight it off without symptoms. Viral load remains too low to cause issues. THAT is how a vaccine works. Spread is less likely. Sickness is less likely. But the virus still gets in the body. People are fricking retarded.


Then please explain the Flu vaccine, Mr. Dr. Your explanation pretty much works, but continue on about immunity, oh, and the general shut down of the world over a virus that kills only 0.005% of the weakest. Isn't that called "culling the herd"?

And at the end of the day I can remove my PPE. I can't take the vaccine out of my body.

Such a stupid counterpoint attempt by him

Also, at the end of the day, when the employee breaks his toe because he wasn't wearing the required PPE, the company will still be liable for all the medical expenses and the incident will still go down as a recordable.

Coast Guard told everyone a couple weeks ago to get the poke or you'll be discharged on Sept 18th. I know of at least 3 guardsmen with a combined 20+ years that are getting out if it comes to that.

It's an FDA approved treatment.


COMIRNATY is fully FDA approved. It's not available on the market.

BioNTech-Pfizer is still under EUA. It is available and this is the Pfizer vaccine that people think is fully FDA approved.

There is a lot of confusion around this issue and it was purposely rolled out this way so it can be said the vaccine is fully approved and still maintain legal immunity from side effects.

Good grief


I can't believe he thinks he has made a solid point and keeps going to that well. I thought he was smarter than that but I guess I gave him too much credit.

You want them to bat 1.000? Sorry, but nothing in life is 100% If you don't want to take the vaccine, don't take it. But understand that there are consequences, right or wrong. Are you equipped to possibly lose your job (depending on the field) and be barred from air travel and certain restaurants? If you are, go crazy. If you're not, maybe look at your risk/reward chart once more.

I'm not for mandates. I think it should be your own choice. But I'm also not dumb enough to think this is the hill I die on.

I'm vaxed and totally disagree with this. this is the same as believing in "two weeks!...." data from local hospitals appears to suggest that you have a better chance of avoiding a hospital visit with the vax ; but hell, people my age had a good chance of avoiding that last year when the vax wasn't even an option.

I've heard they're talking about giving these people who refuse the vaccine dishonorable discharges. That's going to cause some extremely serious issues.

Explain what? Different vaccines work slightly differently and are more effective than others. The flu vaccine was never very effective. The spike protein in Covid is what this vaccine is based on. That's not going away.

What the frick are you talking about? I didn't say any of this. I was all for zero shutdowns or lockdowns and letting shite happen. Still am. That doesn't mean I'm going to pretend like this vaccine isn't effective. You'd be a retard to think it's not. I also don't think it should be mandated... anywhere for anything. You're arguing against things I've never said. Chill.

But a mandate for something you don't want in your body, versus your pay, IS the hill...and a slippery one.

You wanna provide a source here?

Because straight from the FDA, unless my reading comprehension is just completely shot, the same vaccine is now being marketed as Comirnaty.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't find anything with any credibility that says that's the case.

So you just don’t believe in freedom? Like you openly admit it?



As in freedom of choice? Federal gov is nothing but the employer here, they aren’t taking away your rights as a citizen. If you don’t want to get it you have the freedom to make the choice to find a job elsewhere.

You do understand that’s what freedom means right?

As said already, working for the DoD there’s already multiple things you HAVE to be vaccinated for for multiple assignments. This isn’t anything new.

Jesus...

This attitude is the one they want you to have. Just lay down and take it.
