Naa, we're having fun. Aren't you having fun?

This might have been better

"I have weighed the evidence and done my best to sift through the noise, I will do as I see fit for me and my family and my decision is between me and my Dr"

Yeah there we go !!! see how that works

Whatever man. I don't virtue signal because I don't count myself as virtuous. "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." I certainly am not signaling about this because I see no virtue in it one way or the other. I don't make a judgement on you for not wanting to get the shot and I don't care what your reasoning is. Why do you care what my reasoning is? Seems to me that you are doing a lot of stumping trying to convince people. I respect your right to have your own view. Do you afford me the same? Maybe you reciprocate that and maybe you don't. I really couldn't care less. I came here to share some food for thought. I'm not trying to convince anyone one way or the other. Having as much information as possible is a good tool. As I said, I believe good can come from this young man's death and I hope by sharing the information that it helps others the way it helped me.

TC I don't know that he was anti vax or not but I do know he was not vaccinated. We all make decisions and hopefully we can live with them. In some cases we die with them as we have seen. It's too bad his time came early but we all have to make peace with our decisions.

And that is the new normal

Don't like the discussion, shut it down
Don't like hearing another point of view Shut it down

Dear Bob, Nelson has been political since this thread started, yet NOW you want it shut down ???


The New Normal, shut down any discourse that doesn't meet your approval or agenda

So once again, show me the federal mandate. Since you are just responding with meaningless posts I will presume there is none.

You brought up Federal Mandate, I never did, you simply inferred it, that is on you not I..

You just tried to shift the subject, sorry but that is the most elementary style of debate tactic there is

Try again, Try facts, try science

Fact: there are multiple places firing front line medical workers that refuse the Vax, now poke your head out and go read if you are going to continue in this debate. Just because you haven't seen it first hand doesn't mean it ain't happening Talk about infantile arguments ***SMDH***

OK let's just settle this one fact. Medical Centers ARE requiring folks to get shots or be fired.

All I'm gonna say is if I was in the hospital recuperating from say open heart surgery I damn well expect my care givers to have been vaccinated.

Since everyone is in favour of continuing on, why not then. It is as simple as with rights comes responsibilities. In that sense the right of freedom is self limiting. You are responsible for helping to maintain the safety of the society as a whole and by refusing to get vaccinated you are infringing on others reasonable expectations of safety.

Ok this is getting old but will try once again.

- You said Biden's America so since he is the fed I asked where is Biden making people take vaccines or firing them for not taking one. No answer as usual. Oh wait, your guy lost and you cant overcome that so that's what Biden's America meant. I get it.

- I said that Texas Methodist fired nurses, please read. It's difficult to have a discussion when you selectively read what I post, you can scroll up and read. It's not that difficult it's in English.

- When you cut out part of my sentence to say - I have no idea- trying to make fun of me then yeah thats childish. When my kids were 7 or 8 they were arguing like that, it's embarrassing for an adult man.

Please stop patronizing people who have a different opinion. Telling me where to poke my head and what to read. Correcting Paul and how he should have posted something. Who do you think you are. And who do you think we are. I spend my day taking care of sick ICU patients, spent countless hours talking care of covid patients, saw dying and suffering and I will have some screen warrior tell me about covid and science. Dude please.

Bob, I'm afraid in this country that train has left the station long ago.

The problem is we have no "Society". We have diametrically opposed factions that view each other with suspicion and as the enemy. In many circles they would like to see each other dead. (just for the record I am NOT referencing anything from this forum)

With each passing month things get worse and worse. If something like a pandemic is totally politicized and people refuse life saving treatment for whatever reason then I think all hope is gone.

I think there is a coming storm in this country. What will set it off I'm not sure. Maybe the next election or 2024. I might be your new neighbor up there.

Same as you, just a guy with my opinions, and they have been more accurate than yours so far during this thread
You have repeated every single lie that has been proved wrong over the months and you continue to do so. Therfore you have shown yourself to "Have No Idea" again on you


Don't like it,, you can stop playing anytime you want... You interjected the Fed thing that is on you, deal with it..

Bob

That is simply not true,
The science says if you got jabbed you are safe, there is no risk to you from unvax'd people
Can you all not stick with the "Facts" you posted during the stretch of this thread at least

Do the Vaccines work or not ??

I realize you all thought the masks worked too, that was proved wrong, perhaps you are right to be worried about the efficacy of the Vax since we have been fed lies since "Two weeks to Slow the spread"

You might have a valid point here
