This is exactly what remaining unvaccinated is though
You're deliberately extending the pandemic and killing people so you can turn your nose up at authority, with no benefit to yourself, while actively denying the scientific consensus on this
Don't be surprised when the majority of people have a bad reaction to that, when their grandparents are dying as a result of your actions, of course politicians are going to try and speak to that sentiment, people are really angry over this one
I've been vaccinated 3 times now, it's nothing to worry about it and I barely noticed it throughout each one
- ssl232 5y ago> You're deliberately extending the pandemic What makes you think vaccinating everybody will hasten the end of the pandemic?
- crispypotatoes 5y ago> What makes you think vaccinating everybody will hasten the end of the pandemic? It makes it harder for the disease to transmit from person to person Less disease means less of the pandemic
- smegsicle 5y agoMaybe the pandemic would already be over if only the high-risk had gotten vaccinated? Less immunization to the spike protein means less mutation of the spike protein Less mutation of the spike protein means less hospitalization of those immunized directly to it

- smegsicle 5y agoimmunization wouldn't function as a form of evolutionary pressure?
- crispypotatoes 5y agoNot if you only did the elderly, as you've suggested.
- molbioguy 5y agoI've been vaccinated twice and my company will force me to get a booster. My second vaccination produced serious adverse side effects that lasted several days. Very scary. Are you going to guarantee that I'll be OK when I get my next shot? If I'm not, will you compensate me? Of course not. I have to assume all the risk because you think your strategy will help you survive.
- crispypotatoes 5y ago> Very scary. Are you going to guarantee that I'll be OK when I get my next shot? If I'm not, will you compensate me? No to both, it's your choice not to get it and if it's that serious go to a hospital for an exemption You already have a process in place for this stuff, if you aren't exempt there's no excuse Those side effects really suck though, hope you're OK now
- molbioguy 5y agoSo you're willing to admit exemptions. Who determines their legitimacy? I think I have a very rational risk/reward assessment that tells me the booster is not in my best interest. It's not so easy. Your strategy of coercion extends to doctors as well. Doctors that post about adverse affects are often banned for spreading misinformation. There's a lot of pressure on them not to write up notes for exemption. There's no guarantee that I will get a life-threatening adverse reaction from my next shot. Maybe I'm just be bedridden for a week. They have to make a judgement call under strong pressure. I'd rather wear masks, stay isolated, work remotely, whatever. I'm cognizant of society and responsible. But I don't have a choice short of quitting work, which I don't want to do. That's why forced vaccination is wrong.
- crispypotatoes 5y ago> Who determines their legitimacy? A doctor, most countries already have an exemption system in place, use it mate > That's why forced vaccination is wrong. No, it isn't unless the country doesn't provide you sick pay
