It's Time to Mandate Vaccines
LeviF replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I didn't. You asked, I answered. I went 12 years without a PCP. In my circle that's not uncommon. Had I not had a doctor in the family I would never have found out what a PCP would say about a first-of-its-kind EUA vaccine. I hope Joe sues CNN. Probably won't be successful but it would make for an entertaining series of episodes. -

It's Time to Mandate Vaccines
LeviF replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
There are two salient differences between previous mandates and this one. The first being who imposes them, and the second being the impact the diseases have on those who have little choice in how much they are exposed - children. I won't concede that vaccine mandates are ever good but I will point out that this is different on those two fronts. The other line here is that you seem to be employing a bit of a reverse slippery slope argument - "you had no issue with smallpox vax mandates, diphtheria, pertussis, etc. so why object to a COVID vaccine mandate?" Truth of the matter is that a vaccine mandate could be a valid measure for a sane, responsible government. But there's a strong argument to be made that this is an insane, irresponsible (and possibly even malicious) government. I think this is what folks are getting at when they bring up the border. It's hard to look at the deliberate HR sabotage at the border, or the import of hundreds of thousands of Afghans, and also believe that the next big move isn't also done out of malice or at the very least incredible irresponsibility. And as far as following the advice of doctors - individuals in my demographic rarely sees a medical professional unless they're acutely ill, in my experience. So the only "doctors" they have to receive advice from are the "public health" professionals trotted out on TV and in pop news whose views on what is and is not a "public health" crisis tend to change with the political winds. Trust is earned in a lifetime, lost in a day, and I get the feeling that the very public hypocrisy on display over the past year and a half has lost a lot of trust. -

Well how many people already have natural immunity? And you say "not cancelling" like that's somehow indicative of anything (it's not, hospitals are just law firms that practice medicine). How many hospitals are currently over maximum normal capacity? Btw, I am vaccinated. But mandates are a bridge too far, especially when some of the numbers from around the world suggest that 80+% of people already have some kind of exposure (vaccine or infection) to COVID. Not to mention the number of COVID hospitalizations that are entirely unnecessary. -

What is “relatively normal” operations? How is this measured? And how does natural immunity not get someone there as much as a vaccine? -

Over 60% from those four conditions alone. And lol speaking of broad brushes under what universe is type 2 diabetes hereditary? It’s advanced insulin resistance caused by (usually) abusing sugar or (sometimes) blasting your liver. You can literally cure type 2 diabetes by adjusting your diet. -

Again, this ***** is obvious. We’re on a little-used subforum on a website dedicated to one of the least relevant American sports franchises of the last 25 years. “This” has no particular way of working and its really not my responsibility to drill a hole in your abnormally thick skull and pour common sense into it. Try this instead. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.120.019259 -

Funny you mention AIDS. There’s a 100% effective way to prevent AIDS (far more effective than vaccine in relation to COVID). Should we deny health insurance and proper care related to AIDS to catamites, as is proposed for the unvaxxed and COVID? Lol “conjecture” I shouldn’t have to convince you that a disease that attacks the heart and lungs will disproportionately affect metabolically unhealthy people. That’s what we in the business call “obvious.” But I’ll do your homework, Sue. This took one google search. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.120.019259?cookieSet=1 -

We're talking about mandates, aren't we? Look at the other vaccine mandates we have and tell me what the common thread is. Hint: it's not "save octogenarians from cutting their miserable lives short by a few weeks." As far as at risk people, I have very little pity for the vast majority of at risk people, whose "risk" could have been mitigated by pushing away from the table years ago. -

The case has been made that Polio was a substantial risk for children. Has there even been an effort to show that to be the case for COVID? -

Literally nobody cares about leftist hypocrisy. Lefties don’t because doublethink. Conservatives come off as whiny losers for harping on it. This is a proxy war. Treat as such. -
I think seeing some of these faces would make me more belligerent and judgmental.

Yeah when the only memorable lines are from the self-flagellating flunkies who prefer reading whatever website that is to watching football you know it's run its course. -

You can go bet at physical sportsbooks, but if you're going to be on NYS land betting online there's currently no legal way of doing so.

As a man, it is my birthright to tell people what they can or can’t do to innocents and enforce those provisions by whatever means necessary. By that logic Roe should never have been heard because it was an all-male court. -
