My opinion on this specific vaccine is irrelevant, I have a big problem with the federal government getting this involved in my personal health, and terms in which I can be employed. Especially considering how unvaccinated people are pretty much only affecting each other, and covid actually hasn't killed that many people (~0.001% of the population here) This goes against a lot of my principles even if I believe it would ultimately be beneficial to our countries literal and economic health.

Dude. Even if that was right, that's still 300,000 Americans.

If this is a pandemic of the unvaxxed, then fuck off and let us live our lives. We aren't going to drop like flies, and apparently, says the propoganda, the vaxxed are totally safe from covid now.

So fuck off. See how many of us die to "covid" and how many of us die to the police when they try to enforce this tyranny.

You mean the straw man propaganda you just made up? Never was "totally safe" claimed. I think the highest estimated effectiveness was around 90%, which has now dropped with delta.

But sure, fight the propaganda by making it up, and continue being a selfish wingding

"the straw man"

You mean what half of the news channels like to say in support of the vaccine? I know it is bullshit. The vaccines are not going to eradicate covid or give complete immunity. They have killed some people, maybe not many, but these people probably wouldn't have gotten covid or died of covid or ever spread covid if they hadn't been coerced into getting the shot. If you are ok with mandating those deaths, even if they are only a few hundred out of all humans, then ok. I think it's vile.

I wonder, how many people do you know I've infected? Better track my movements to make certain I'm not enjoying my liberties.

Find one clip of a news channel saying that the vaccine makes you totally safe from covid.

Lol, further showing the ridiculousness of that "stat"

I feel like it's important to use percentages and per-capita statistics, as opposed to raw numbers that sound scary. But of course best way of looking at the data is kind of subjective though, so to each their own is all I can say shrug
