Tbh i got surrounded by 5 huge black guys and they all told me if I didn't get vaccinated I would have to join "The Fam" they didn't say what that meant but I got vaccinated that very day.

I'm sure, just like flu vaccine prevents some spread.

I think people should come to the reality that Covid in all likelihood is here to stay. So far I haven't seen anything to suggest it wont, considering we're getting new variants every few months. With time it will be viewed just as another fact of life we deal with like cancer, like the flu, like driving deaths, like alcohol deaths and so on. So it makes sense for us to adapt to that way of thinking instead of moving the goal posts of what are acceptable freedoms, but in reality I think this is going to be the patriot act all over again. 20 years later, the war time measures curtailments of freedom have become the norm.


Once a few variants go by we will end up with a less deadly disease. Until that happens we will continually be at risk of overwhelmed hospitals.

If they got vaccinated then Covid could be here to stay and we still wouldn't need to do much distancing because hospitals would have capacity available.

25% wrong is a lot of stuff for an authority like the CDC.

And you are ignoring what he is saying. If even the CDC is admitting that being vaccinated means you can still spread covid, then what's the point?


Because vaccines keep you out of the hospital and make it less likely you will spread it, even if it isn't eliminated outright.

What country do you live in?


Where I live is irrelevant. I want you to address what I said, not who I am or where I am from.

Exactly. I'd rather allow my natural immunity to serve me than trust mankind with some BS vaccine that only gives me a little boost in maybe not being hospitalized. No thanks on that lmao.

If you're seriously implying that hospitals having capacity in any way will change "social distancing" then you are not seeing the bigger picture AND you are believing in a false reality.

As far as I know, it hasn't been definitively proven that vaccines will make it less likely for people to spread covid. And even if they do slow the spread, it is still not reason enough to force people to choose between the jab or their job.

Yes sir. And it's what I have been saying all along. Just eat healthy and drink plenty of water, and let our immune systems take care of the rest. It's something that's been working for literally millions of years...give it a try, folks.

Most folks would prefer to have an excuse to everything instead, something like COVID.

#1 issue that fills up hospital beds is obesity. #1 comorbidity that ends up with people who contract covid being hospitalized is obesity. Can't fat shame though, can't promote a healthy lifestyle.

It's kind of like blaming murder on guns. Odd, even countries that outlaw guns have murder. How the hell does that work? Nah, 400 pound people have been filling hospital beds since long before covid, and will continue long after, and for the overwhelming majority, it's their own fault. They chose their shitty lifestyle.

This is my point... Many of the ICU beds are being hogged by people that have COVID and it's almost as if the world forgot there's a shit load of other diseases and medical emergencies.


Which wouldn't be the case though if we had a highly-vaccinated society.
