No, I don't think it's right. However, from a captalistic stand point it made sense. If vaccines lessen the risk for serious illness and people recover more quickly they will be more productive and cost the company less money.
Further more the mandate for a bussiness with 100+ people made sense as well. Do I think it's right? No, I don't but I think it was less about protection and more about how can we get people back to production and keep profits high without our work force dying out.
Even now with the current strain of covid, I think the CDC mandate of 5 days is way too short, again it's not about saftey, but production. Now many companies won't even pay an employee lost wages if sick with covid.

Hind sight is 20/20 many mistakes happened science changes and adapts as new information becomes available. I think the vaccines saved a lot of lives and the people who are so vehemently against them lack basic understanding on biology and microbiology.

Also, I recall someone mentioning a few pages back something about goverment mass productions of mask for citizens which would have been great. However with the anti mask movement in America it wouldn't do much. Further more most mask were in use by medical professionals. When I had to care for a covid ward of 24 patitents I can't even count the ammount of mask that I went through.

It cant rewrite genes.

I suspect some studies are going to come out showing that the shots alter gene expression/dna methylation.

How many people have you personally witnessed just drop dead? Did you go check their wallet for a vaccine card? It is an absurd notion, there is absolutely no proof of the vaccine causing mass deaths in droves of people. The vaccine can cause clots, but so can the virus, and the actual virus has a tenfold chance of causing a clot. Birth rates are down because the world is absolutely fooked currently and people don't tend to want to bring children into such a haneous world. Oh, and also now with the overturn of Roe V Wade. The vaccine has zero correlation with the sharp decline in birth rates.

I swear to god half these post wouldn't exist if you people applied just an ounce of critical thought.

So what does this mean on the phenotypic level? People's DNAs are intact, their germ-lines are un-touched, however the cells in their bodies start making wacky proteins?

Hey. You know a fair bit about biology.

That would be the risk. No proof of it yet, although Pfizer looked at that possibility preclinically. They found "reversible temporary changes in gene expression", but that could be just as simple as boosting the immune system.

I care because it is wrong to coerce people into doing something.

Apparently this doesn't enrage you.

It doesn't enrage me because I'm a grown-up who understands the mechanics of being part of society.

I suppose if I was a NEET with no real-world experiences, I'd think similarly to you or a small child.

So, does being a part of society mean that the government can coerce people into taking vaccines?



I think it's funny how you constantly try hard to insult me in an attempt to get back at me for hurting your feelings.

You're so desperate for people to care about you sunny, there's literally nothing you could say that would bother me. I pity you more than anything.

I am glad that I have a place in your heart.

P.s. how did you know I was desperate for attention?
