I wonder if the Republican party is regretting making anti-vax and Covid denialism a party platform issue.

Twice as many Republicans died of Covid as Democrats, prior to the midterms.

But those issues got out the vote, at least among the still living.

how about forcing a jab that gives healthy young people heart problems?

Knew some dipshit would bring this up.

  1. Nobody is forcing you get vaccinated.
  2. Read this: https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/421-010-CasesInNotFullyVaccinated.pdf
  3. Your rights end where mine begin. I have a right to earn a living without risking my life because some cunt rag hears bullshit on propaganda "news" outlets, makes not getting vaccinated part of their political identity, and thinks they should be able to participate in civil society without giving a single fucking shred of consideration for how they impact those around them.
  4. Want to get the benefits of living in a society? You have to play by the rules. That means doing your part to safely coexist with others. Don't like it? Go fuck off into the forest and live there and do whatever the hell you want. Or start your own business and be the only employee and do whatever the hell you want. Want the convenience of using electricity provided by other people? Want the convenience of being able to go to the grocery store to buy food instead of killing and cooking squirrels yourself? Want the convenience of trained professionals educating your kids instead of teaching them yourself? Want the convenience that comes with being a member of society? Then you need to respect others.

But by all means, go ahead and tell me how Trump kidnapping people is equivalent to taking reasonable measures to slow the spread of a deadly contagion and help protect people from it.

HR: “Please provide us proof of vaccination or you’re terminated.”

Yeah I guess being threatened with poverty and unemployment isn’t forcing somehow? Makes perfect sense

What is it you right-wingers always say? "Don't like your job then go find another one!!!!" Well there you go. Stop your fucking bitching. Go find another job that lets you act like a Typhoid Mary.

You could also take my advice and go fuck off and live in the woods since you don't want to do your part to live in society with other people. Go build your own shelter. Hunt your own food. Total freedom.

I've now said this three times and you keep ignoring and not addressing it, so I'm done now.

I can be reasoned with if what someone says is reasonable.

Unfortunately, "my right to not get a vaccine based on misinformation is more important than N number of other peoples' right to not be infected by me due to my selfish behavior" is not a reasonable position to hold.

And again, you have a right to not get vaccinated. You do NOT have a right to not get vaccinated and be near other people.

Businesses also have a right to prioritize the health and safety of their workers and fire you if you cannot respect their policies. Companies fire people for a whole lot less.

I love how you're predicating your argument based off the vaccine being effective against covid when clearly it was not and the CDC even said so. If it was, people like Biden and Rochelle Walensky wouldn't have been infected. You're literally brain washed my guy. Good luck to you

There's that misinformation I was talking about.

See ya chump. You've been reported for spreading misinformation and now you're blocked.

Have fun in your right-wing echo chamber consuming misinformation and propaganda.

tell that to everyone in Canada who was forced. Tell that to everyone who got fired for not getting it. No one should have to have a reason not to het jabbed to avoid getting fired. I had to jump through hoops at two companies to not get fired. Everyone was lied to. Big pharma admitted it never stopped you cathing it, it never stopped you spreading it, and after 2 weeks the jab was basically useless. FUCK YOU.

I'm not Canadian so I can't comment on Canada's requirements but I'm guessing since all of your other comments are made in bad faith, you're probably lying or flat out wrong that Canada was forcing people to get vaccinated under threat of arrest.

> Tell that to everyone who got fired for not getting it.

Already addressed that above. You ignored it. You don't have a right to put other peoples' lives at risk. Don't want to get the vaccine? That's your choice. It's also your employer's choice to protect their employees and fire your selfish ass. You exist in a society with OTHER PEOPLE. You are not an island.

> I had to jump through hoops at two companies to not get fired.

Boo hoo snowflake.

> Everyone was lied to.

No they weren't. I mean you were by all the anti-vax propaganda you willingly consumed, but not everyone.

> Big pharma admitted it never stopped you cathing it, it never stopped you spreading it, and after 2 weeks the jab was basically useless.

The link I posted which you clearly and obviously just ignored, says otherwise ;)

Oh did Big Pharma admit that?

Show any evidence at all apart from your assertion.
