tbh, if you are coming from that exact angle, i can't disagree. but it doesn't always sound like you are "100% in support of vaccine usage"


I am. I will not get the vaccine personally, as I already had Covid. All the current data we have indicates I have far greater resistance to other strains or even the alpha strain than the unvaccinated or vaccinated.

That being said, I'm 100% in support of every single person who wants the vaccine getting it if that's the correct decision for them. I merely caution people to speak to their doctor before they make a decision. Your physician may have good reasons for you not to take the vaccine if you want to (allergies, etc.). They may also have great reasons for you to take the vaccine if you currently don't want to.

Informed consent is important regarding anything you put into your body, and neither the media, Fauci, or even the CDC/WHO can provide you with all the information you need for informed consent. Your doctor, on the other hand, who knows your medical history and any likely side-effects to getting or avoiding the vaccine, will provide the best information for your personal benefit.

We can restrict services by vaccination, and we already do so. Healthcare workers have to have certain vaccinations, the same for military service members, and children also have to have certain vaccines to attend public school.

It isn't something entirely new.


Just because it has been done, it doesn't mean it's what should have been done. But anyway. As long as you are not preventing me or other people from eating out at my/our favorite restaurants, or going to malls, or doing anything that I/we enjoy doing, then possibly you can have your mandatory vaccines for front-line healthcare workers, I don't care.

I disagree with students needing to be vaccinated in order to go to schools though.

Well, we simply disagree then.

I was saying this same thing the moment the vaccine hit. The fact that Tim Pool has started saying it in the last couple months just shows how common-sense the position is.

I was encouraging people to get the vaccine if their doctor cleared them for it when Trump was still President, I'm encouraging it now. I do, however, advise AGAINST getting the vaccine without first consulting your doctor.

My understanding is that the unvaccinated still have access to restaurants, but are precluded from indoor seating. I'm not sure how or why that's a major concern, as if I felt compelled to not be vaccinated I would simply continue to enjoy outdoor seating and/or to-go orders/delivery.


But a lot of restaurants don't have outdoor seating nor take-out orders. So the end result is still the same: quality of life plummets for the un-vaccinated, which is exactly what governments want.

I'm fine with that.

Nice to hear that you are only concerned about yourself.

We live in different countries, so you should be fine.
