Probably should have said 80/20 anti. Enough to where its the vast majority.

I totally get it, i detest the government (all of em) and poeple telling me what to do.

You are aware that the J&J is 40 year old tech right? I also get the testing thing.
At some point after so many millions we can get a good idea of its safety.

Everyone gambles the VAX vs covid. You take a risk either way.

Im unaware of any recourse for any VAX regardless of what its for.

you are correct on the j&j tech, and IF i had to get one, thats the one i'd get (also because its just one round)

Because it just reinforces my position that their vaccines and their fear mongering is pure BULLSHIT.

I understand your position and stance on not making the vaccines mandatory, but when you come back at me and others about what we will do if it is state mandated for our employees, I tend to believe your position is waffling and not strong enough to stand up to the tyranny of the left, not to mention your statement of "if you are wrong you should still understand the risks in potentially killing not only yourself but your loved family members and others." That is a statement right out of the left's playbook trying to force a UNPROVEN vaccine with no long term studies performed.

Again, if the government wants to allow millions of illegals to cross our borders unchecked/unvaccinated, they and everyone else running around with their hair on fire can pound sand in my book. Until they actually treat this like a real problem by their actions, they can F the hell off.

Keep educating the misinformed with data that has been proven to be suspect time and time again, that's your right. šŸ‘

Exactly, so few seem willing to actively stand up and say NO. The entire country has become limp wristed and isn't interested in holding to any principle, it takes too much effort and they are more content to just stay quiet and ride along while they are stripped piece by piece of freedoms. We aren't at the slippery slope, we are riding it now.

Those same freedoms which you enjoy, so does your employer.

You are free to refuse the shot. He is free to replace you with a vaccinated employee.

You should not be forced to get a shot if you don't want to, but he should not be forced to employ the un-vaccinated if he does not want to.

The complicated thing about freedom is that it is a two way street. And one persons freedoms should not come at the expense of another's.

Well it should when one person is a citizen and a tax paying member of society and the other isn't..

I've been away for a few days and didn't realize when I started this thread that it would take off as it has. My reason for starting this thread is because my wife whom is and has been an RN for 17 years is being backed into a corner by her employer. All three of the major healthcare systems in Idaho, St. Luke's, St, Al's and Primary health announced last Thursday that they are requiring the jab by all employees by September 1st, or they will be terminated. The irony is this, all three of these companies do business in other states, like our boarder state Oregon. Because of Oregon state law these companies cannot mandate the vaccine to there employees. Sadly the state of Idaho has no such law to protect employees of private companies from any such mandates. The hypocrisy in all of this is that our governor pasted a bill a few months back that prevents state government employees from having to get vaccinated. A similar bill for non government employees was presented to the state legislature, but it got dropped and they went on summer recess. So it's all good for government employees, but the rest of the citizens of the state can be required by their employees to get the vaccine. This situation is fucked up and isn't over by a long shot. The fight has just begun.

All over a >99% survival rate.
Truly boggles the mind does it not? When did people become so cowardly and naive...circling the drain
And by saying that one is immediately branded insensitive, or a denier of covid, or uncaring about spreading it, and a laundry list of other falsehoods.

ā€œYouā€™d change your tune if it was your loved oneā€ rings out.
Well guess what? I am more than adequately educated in the matters of pain and loss.
People act like itā€™s the god damned plague.
The Black Plague killed HALF of Europe.
Covid is real, it can kill you, it can make you really sick, masks do nothing, spacing is better, a plastic face shield is better than a cloth mask, a rushed vaccine is not a good thing, itā€™d be different if the mortality rate was 30%- 60% like the Black Death was.
But itā€™s not. It isnā€™t life or death.[/QUOTE]

The cold hard facts of life (and you seem to have an understanding via a different learning curve than I, but same lesson learned) Humans are born and die. It may be emotionally difficult for some to get past this but, we as humans have become so arrogant believing we can cheat the system.

Risk either way.

I havent seen any numbers put up that says Ive got the risks wrong.

I hear the numbers aren't right, but not single digit on put forward on what at the right ones are.

Feelings, politics, memes, tropes, arent actual data even if they say what Id like them to say.

IF one doest have the have the numbers how does one determine risk?

In that scenario who isn't paying taxes? The employer pays and the guy getting paycheck pays.

I may have missed a post somewhere else on that.

And in that you have you answer. Let's talk about numbers a few years down the road. The sample period is to short. That is all that I am saying.

Again at the beginning of this a heart attack death (and many other unrelated deaths) were being classified as Covid. My wife being in the medical field saw this first hand.

Again I am not saying someone getting the shot is a bad thing. I am not anti-vax, as long as the studies are done properly, and we have time to see the true effects down the road before it is applied to the gen pop, great.

Maybe this all we be a non issue. Seems every few years someone has a miracle drug that will cure cancer (understanding cancer is not a virus)- It still hasn't happened yet.

In the end, time will tell.

ETA: Do you have the data on FLU cases for the 2020 Flu season?

Numbers from a vaccine that has no trials nor long term risk assessment.......................

Im not saying its "bad not to get" I understand why people dont want to get it
I also understand that its always more comforting to know long term data.

No matter how many time I say Im pro choice this place acts like Im selling something.

Thing is no one can show me the data that says the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk from covid

One is very small the other even smaller.

Illegal aliens are taking more out of the system than the sales taxes they are paying, and flooding through the border unvaccinated adding to our pool of COVID risk. And then the homeless - need I say more.

Beyond Covid, neither of these groups "personal freedoms" should be impeding of the freedoms of tax paying producing members of society. I'm not saying they don't have human rights, but letting them affect how we run as a society at large is detrimental to the whole.

At this point the vaccine is less risk than getting covid. At best this is just a flu shot. Some not insignificant amount of people feel like crap for a day or 2 after getting the flu shot, the same seems to be true with the Covid shot.

The "risk" is a slippery slope. It is less risky for you not to boat, or off road, or ride a motorcycle. Those are dangerous activities, but the risk stops very few people from doing those things. As far as affecting others, there is risk you could go out in your car and accidently kill someone. You could give someone a cold or flu and they could die. We didn't care about any of those risks until this virus got politicized.

If we really cared about the risk, we would seal off the borders and close down airports. None of that ever happened, because this virus is simply not that dangerous to the vast majority of the population.

Hundreds of agencies have put their best people on this problem.

We've been doing vaccines a long time.
Especially the J&J version.

exactly what agencies are those? I mean unless you live in a cave, all the numbers pumped out by hospitals, vaxx mfgā€™s and our very own gov have been falsified.....and hell they even admitted making ā€œmistakesā€ in the numbers.

bottom line, peeps should be able to make up their own minds. If you want to live fear and vaxx free go ahead, if you prefer masks, vaxx and fear of death, well knock yourself out.

ummmmmm the ā€œnumbersā€ say the opposite. More peeps are being medically injured/ill or dead by the vax, compared to covid

Well slaves in other countries, but whatever :)

He's saying freedom is always some authoritarian 2 way street and it is not (If you do X I do Y). A vagrant is free to crap in my yard, I am not free to move him out of my yard. We have unvetted immigrants pouring into the country... they aren't vaxed and are spreading the disease to our most vulnerable communities, who then spread it to our entire community and country. We cant exercise our freedom to stop it. We just have to deal with it.

Russia, China, the US works with Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and others. John Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon the list is pretty big. (if its political to you think about who Trump trusted)

All large form data has mistakes

Simply sayin the data is wrong but not putting any up means an emotional decision is being made - not a data driven one.

I dont care what people do but selling the decision to me supposedly based on science means I need to see data.

Lets be real here, no they are not. I don't believe there are a couple hundred people a day dying in this country from the vaccine.

Is it causing weird stuff in some people, yes, but not anywhere close to a majority. I know a couple people personally that had some odd things happen post vaccine.

Do I think we should be coerced to take a vaccine for a virus that most of the country has no chance of dying from.. no.

In the case of US employer employing legal workers. Each should have the freedom to decide.

mistakes as in the data being off by say 250%....lol thats no mistake, that was called manipulation and fraud.

my question stands, where is this data? Also if the sources of this date were in on the ā€œmistakesā€ are they suddenly now ā€œmistake freeā€ or ā€œless mistakenā€

you believe the numbers and trust the sources, I dont.
You do you, and Iā€™ll do me. I just find it ironic a dude comes on posting how everyone is wrong, ā€˜cept for him and the book cookers numbers heā€™s using as proof

I know were at odds but I also know you are aware that comment is completely off the reservation.
