If those countries shut back down it isn’t because of the unvaccinated here in the US… have you actually thought about any of this for more than 2 seconds? LOL The vaccination rate in Israel is not what you think. I think all 6 New England states exceed it. The biggest issue is that like here there is a sizable resistance to vaccinate in a similar age demographic. So when israel opened up, the increasing delta variant was like a no brainer. Many areas of the USA exceed Israel’s rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits his narrative LOL so mad that I won't get a vaccine after you already got your own. Just go live your life and stop worrying about what medicines some rando on the Internet is or isn't taking. If you think the unvaccinated are what's causing your life to be ****ed up, you will always be stuck in first gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all from your side. This entire debate also assumes that none of the unvaccinated have immunity already. People are so tweaked out now. We are operating under such a weird dynamic. Attacking and vilifying the healthy as the cause of the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Masks aren’t really returning For vaccinated People because non vaccinated aren’t getting their shots . I mean , I’m vaccinated and I don’t give a fuk who is or isn’t . I don’t blame unvaccinated people for bring masks back .that’s garbage imo. It’s fear mongering crap that cable all media has reverted to For ratings and success . So a bunch of 20-30 year olds won’t get vaccinated and they will 99% be fine and not be hospitalized , the left media whips people into a frenzy . And if a vaccinated person gets a a break thru case they have shown to be 95% protected from hospitalization . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of towns in Mass (Bristol County, Hampden County, certain parts of Boston, etc) where vaxx rates are lagging. Focus on that before getting all uptight about what's going on in Missouri. I know local police officers and emergency responders that are not vaccinated. A friend of mine who is an officer in a local town, that has about 15 full-time and part-time officers, said that majority in his department are not vaccinated.

But thanks to fox News and Facebook somehow a life saving vaccine is communism. Demented. i'm vaccinated ya dingus. The notion of federally mandating a vaccine is lunacy in this country, that's my only point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Fox News itself has very strict guidelines itself. You need to upload your vaccination if you work there to the HR program. Otherwise you are masking still.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 26 minutes ago, DotRat_Wx said: You should work for fox News. Just keep tossing crap out there. I love these kind of scatter plots. They don't evince 'as much' of what they are intended to, for me. The 'elephant' that constellation of points draws is really that rural people tend to be dumb f'n rubes, period. Rubes believe b.s.... they do. Stereotype? Tough shit - eat reality and like it. Less educated types are easily beguiled. It's funny how that scatter plot turns this into political distinction, though. Yeah, I guess Trumpism sort of requires the gullibility - but it's still a goodly amount misleading. There are plenty of folk out there that just don't trust vaccines, regardless of whether they are GOP this ...Dem liberal that - in fact, the majority of anti-vaccine types: that came from the liberals originally...about 15 or 20 years ago - hello. There are those that are also religiously rooted, too - but it is also a vaguely supported stereotype at best, that religion should be automatically cast/assumed to be GOP as their political leanings anyway. It's a percentage game when it comes to politics vs religion. We have to be gaslighted over not wearing masks and not getting vaccines, because 10 % of the population mass is at risk of x-y-z, yet ... we cast all humans that don't want vaccines as tongue fu'ing Trumpism? Got it - hypocrisy much. It's bullshit. The whole f'n thing is based on perception. We live in a world blessed with hiding in falsity when we don't like the disillusionment of reality - and it is gotten so bad, distinction is know longer knowable. What we need is humility at a species level. You know ... make the right decision or your kids don't eat and they DIE. We'll see how quickly that sobers people up to facts ...the rest? That's Darwinism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be handled at the community, business, and family level. Businesses can feel free to close down to unvaccinated if they choose. Very few to none have done so, however, which is pretty telling IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 We are just going to have to learn to live with the virus. It isn’t going away. We have a vaccine and that’s about the best we can ask for. It sucks that so many people died but we are still living in a great time medically speaking overall compared to what people dealt with in the past. There should not be anymore restrictions put into place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
