Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Sep-09-21 08:20 AM
Reports that he's issuing an executive order requiring vaccination with NO OPTION allowing testing in-lieu of vaccination.

This is kinda huge...
Gonna test a lot of these fed naysayers....
Gonna make things particularly interesting....

"WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will require all federal employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and the U.S. Department of Labor will issue a rule requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to have their workers vaccinated or tested weekly, officials said on Thursday."

I fucking love it.

that I almost forget... they can just get tested, in that case. Shit isn't that hard, and it's really not that big of a deal. We've got a country full of piss babies, man.

Should require vax to get on a plane, etc
though. To enter Fed property, like national
parks.


The rules today will still miss some
people.

I like this Biden tho. Fed up Joe is my
favorite Joe.

Now do voting rights....

working, living, travelling, doing fun indoor activities

while smart folks like you are filling up the hospitals and morgues.

two of my really smart family members avoided that horrible vaccine and died within 2 days of each other in a FL hospital. they were mother and daughter. the grandkids are devastated

my dumb sister got vaxxed. her smart husband didn't. they both got covid and she recovered after a week of staying home, but during that week, he got worse and is now in a hospital fighting for his life for the last week...

we have a family group chat and shes really opened my eyes to the amount of ignorance and information coming out from farrakhan and the noi.

anyway shes antivax...tuskegee, mark of the beast, infertility, etc all that.

her and my vaccinated pop (her brother) got covid. my pop shrugged it off like a common cold. she was in icu for 2 weeks...the hospital for a few more...serious lasting lung damage...blood thinners for a while to prevent clots...some other shit.

i know its evil to feel like 'i told you so...' but i dont know how else to react to people like this. its hard for me to find compassion and empathy...even for my own family members.

what do you care what someone else does with their body? if they die they die. You don't like their kind of ppl anyway.

This isn't about keeping ppl safe .

You don't say, "GOOD" because you care about humanity or what ever noble cause you parrot. You say GOOD bc you want your fucking life back.

Let me tell you a secret, ITS NEVER COMING BACK NEVER NEVER.

The more you fold and comply you'll see the role you played in putting the chain on your own neck.

Put your effing mask on THE MASKS ARENT GOING AWAY GET USED TO IT.

Covid is zoonotic it will be with us for a long time.
13441893, if they were only going to kill themselves, sure
Posted by Rjcc, Mon Sep-13-21 09:59 AM
sorry my apologies that there are people I care about who have health problems that make the vaccine less effective.

they have no options

but sure, this is about the deaths of people you think I don't like because you're a very smart person who has thought about this a lot

Great breakdown

13441901, only 63% of israels total population is fully vaccinated.
Posted by Reeq, Mon Sep-13-21 10:26 AM
there are countries in the 80s and 70s.

its weird that antivaxxers made israel the beacon of vaccination just to cast doubt on the effectiveness of the vaccine...when there are plenty of countries with higher vaccination rates (i mean...i know why...but yeah).

plus unvaccinated deaths still clearly lap vaccinated deaths by multiples.
https://www.thehindu.com/data/article36402336.ece
13441902, btw unvaccinated people are 11x more likely to die of covid.

13441904, The fuck are you talking about? What "chain around our neck"?
Posted by Hitokiri, Mon Sep-13-21 10:34 AM
Please explain what "chain" we're putting around our necks by doing what health EXPERTS know to be best. Which is, incidentally, the same thing we've done with infectious diseases that threaten the public for 200 fucking years.

And secondly, You need to understand that when it comes to public health, it's not just "their body." In addition to their own health, with communicable diseases, each host gives the virus a chance to mutate. The mutations cause the variants, which could potentially be more deadly, more resistant to the vaccine. Vaccinated people are poorer hosts for a virus. Delta has already potentially thrown a wrench into that "poorer hosts," bit. So you can keep going down that "your body, your choice" bit when you clearly don't understand how that doesn't apply to communicable diseases.

13441910, people who dont want the vax will make up all types of excuses
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Sep-13-21 10:54 AM
for why it isn’t needed or doesn’t help


13441913, notice they never talk about the vax sickening/killing people anymore.
Posted by Reeq, Mon Sep-13-21 11:08 AM
because we are approaching 200 million people fully vaccinated by winter and its obviously already been proven to be bullshit.

so now...instead of just doing the bare minimum proven to keep things under control in *this* country...they gotta pretend they care about that state of public health in places like israel lol.

Posted by Stadiq, Tue Sep-14-21 01:09 PM

Stop. This isn't clever or deep or whatever you are trying to be.


Plenty of vaccines are mandatory to do all kinds of shit.


We are also in an unprecedented times.



Those who are choosing not to get vaxxed are putting others in danger. From folks with low immune systems to anyone who needs an ICU for anything.


People couldn't be responsible adults about this, so the shit needs mandated.


And yeah, keep your mask on.

Posted by napturalmystic, Mon Sep-13-21 01:21 PM
You sill not gonna get your live back and covid will be with us until forever and its not the unvaxxed fault but blame them if you like.

Yalls president is going to get one of you worked up enough to commit murder thinking you are doing good.

You will never get your 2019 life back and its not the fault of the unvaxxed

and the people who are there for reasons other then Covid but can't get a bed because they're full of mybodymychoice/myfreedoms/wehavethisthingcalledaimmunesystem types

and immune compromised family/friends who are more susceptible if they get breakthrough delta, or whatever mutation comes after

and yeah, me. i don't wanna catch it either, or spread it to people i care about (or anyone)

I WISH it was as simple as saying 'Oh well, if they don't wanna get vaxxed, fuck em"

the rest of the wordsalad you typed has been addressed. please grow up tho

While I'm vaxxed I support my coworkers who choose not to be.

We are all the more strained bc people are choosing to retire and just walk off the job.

But thank you so much for your concern.

they should be walking off the job in handcuffs. It's not illegal, but it fucking well should be.

Medical workers who pretend to understand relevant science that they don't understand are a menace to the community they claim to serve. They should not be in that line of work if they have so little respect for human life.
