Remember if y’all downvote or criticize Shaq...y’all are racist.

So do the right thing and support a local African Americans cause.

Stupid take. It's one thing if your company is sending you to a foreign country and says you need to get shots for protection. Or even if you work directly with same dangerous shite in the US. However, a business should not be able to tell you to get a vax that has no benefit. More so, there will be no negative impact on the company if you don't get it, like there would be if you got a serious disease while on the job in another country.

You can say the same about Joe Rogan.

Rogan had "frick you money" long before the Spotify deal. Fear Factor gave him that money. Which is why the Spotify deal and the potential strings that come with it didn't make perfect sense.

Sure, take the money, but it isn't because you "need" it.

When the renewal opportunity comes around my hope is that Rogan takes the money and runs and starts his own podcast network.

Yeah, its a fine line of infringement on peoples rights. There's a lot of vaccines required by the military which no one had a problem with before. Which is kind of understandable cause they seem to work a lot better than the covid vaccines.

The shite doesn’t work

While the rest of your post was fine, the above line was a bit disingenuous and you know it. The vaccine has probably saved a lot of people from going to the hospital or dying. Folks that deny that just to make a point are hacks.

So, what gives you the right to tell anyone how to run their business? We never had a mandate for my company which was fine. We also had a covid outbreak that put a bunch of workers out for over a week. Don't pretend like there's no negative impact by getting covid.

Fair enough but I’m speaking on the fact that people were forced to get the vaccine only to end up still getting Covid.

This was not Shaq's position in regards to Kyrie Irving last year.

It's interesting to watch individuals switch their position as the public opinion shifts. One should be open to upgrading their views as more data becomes available. But it's important to admit the previous error.

So many bureaucrats, government officials, media personalities want you to forget what they've said and done over the past 2 years now that it's socially convenient to oppose the overreach.

After months of an actual government mandate, It took the Supreme Court to say that the government was not enforcing it, and private companies are digging their heels in as the ones that complied invested heavily in their policies and even laid people off. People went along with their Company’s mandates because there was an underlying govt mandate that would apply elsewhere.

The White House paraded this mandate for months. Them, along with other federal agencies, have also held strong to the idea that the vaccine does anything to protect others, which has been proven by science to be incorrect. To say the US government didn’t cause this to happen is flat out ridiculous. Why would you let them off the hook?

What underlying mandate? Not that I don't believe you, I'm genuinely curious

I agree, the vaccine doesnt work as advertised. People still got sick even if they took the shot, but the numbers immediately went down after the vaccine came out. I don't think that was a coincidence. To me, the vaccine does seem to work. It's not perfect, but its cut down on the on the hospitalizations.

Both sides use this "proven by science" argument, but neither one actually know what the frick they're talking about. They think just cause they use the word "science" it makes them win the arguemnt
or sound smarter. What science experiments have you been studying?

The whole Chinese Flu farce has made me rethink the whole vaccine thing. And then I saw this:



Makes you wonder how long the Pharma companies have bought off our government.
