Plenty of hospitals have been severely stressed. Lots of people could not get treatment because Covid cases dominated the workers. Even Fox covered this. Maybe not OAN though. 1

I would call that stress. OK, fair, I apologize. Hospitals have been stressed for various reasons, but NOT because of COVID patients over-running their facilities. 1

Kind of a catch-22. Also, over 6 billion doses have been administered world wide. Thats a significant number. What are the long-term risks you fear? Here is a little recap for you to help explain the thought process of why long term studies have been conducted on every vaccine ever and why it’s a rational assessment to state that this new first time technology to create mRNA vaccines studied for 2 decades but never brought to market until 2020 has absolutely zero long term effect data. None. Zero. https://prescriptiondrugs.procon.org/fda-approved-prescription-drugs-later-pulled-from-the-market/ if you have any clue about science this vaccine having no long term impact of any kind on developing children is a hypothesis at best. and as for immediate risk there is a not immaterial incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis impacting children, which can have chronic long term implications. Vaccines for adults verses children appear to have completely risk data sets Edited October 27, 2021 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1

On the other hand, my 15 year old son is over a month out from his Covid infection and still doesn't have his sense of taste back. Why is that and what does it mean down the line? Risks can be relative. I don't know anyone who states there is no long term risk to vaccination, only that it is very minimal. As a non-teen adult, risk of long term effects from Covid are far higher. I am sorry about your son, hopefully it is only ruining a few meals. I also am glad it is an option for parents for their kids, especially for ones with health issues. As I have said to others I support the option not the mandate. 1
JaCrispy Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Perhaps the vaccine mandates may have a bigger purpose, and long term agenda? Maybe this is why covid policy is so inconsistent, so confusing...maybe the vaccine mandates are a means to an end, and we’ve all been distracted into bickering over “pro-vax vs. anti-vax”... Curious what y’all think about this...👍 Edited October 27, 2021 by JaCrispy

Maybe because your question is so stupid. “With virtually total control over Washington for the better part of a year now, why hasn’t Biden [mandated vaccines]?” Biden is trying to mandate as much as he believes he can. Why he’s doing it? To stop Americans from dying. Why is he struggling to enact? Because he’s getting lots of pushback. Not that hard to comprehend, liar. Edited October 28, 2021 by Sundancer

ALF Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Congress Didn’t Give OSHA Authority to Impose Vaccine Mandates The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is about to require 80 million working Americans to get vaccinated. You may be among them. There’s just one catch: OSHA lacks the legal authority to impose a vaccine mandate. https://www.heritage.org/public-health/commentary/congress-didnt-give-osha-authority-impose-vaccine-mandates I believe businesses can have there own work rules like a vaccine mandate. State laws establish vaccination requirements for school children. These laws often apply not only to children attending public schools but also to those attending private schools and day care facilities. All states provide medical exemptions, and some state laws also offer exemptions for religious and/or philosophical reasons. State laws also establish mechanisms for enforcement of school vaccination requirements and exemptions. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/laws/state-reqs.html

Or is this yet another thing he’s been too busy to get around to…Like going to the border? Lack of resources to enforce it.

The decision to push the envelope is viewed through a political lens. For all the hubbub and manufactured outrage over DJTs comments about COVID being a political event, it certainly was and has been treated politically. The decision to mandate on federal or state level would have to consider the health of the general public, the legalities involved, and the political impact on the voting block necessary to keep one in power. In this case, we’re being told one thing (the fate of the nation depends upon submission) but the process reflects another (“If we can save just one life of one person who works in an organization of 100+ people with certain exemptions for certain organizations!”) and the obligatory “This is so important we’ll develop a revenue stream capable of destroying an organization that fails to mandate a vax that is by definition voluntary!”. When you had in the historical vax hesitancy for people that traditionally vote Democrat, the general distrust of the pharmaceutical (and government in general) industry and big business by people of all political leanings, and the emerging power of that voting bloc, there is a significant danger in bringing the hammer down. Federal, state, it’s all about focus groups, political wrangling and relative risk.
