POLL: Let's try a COVID compromise, shall we?

[SweetSue92]

I'm sure that's what you perceive that I said. I understand.

What I said, in my universe, is that I hope you don't kill anyone. I didn't say that you or anyone else had.

But I realize that our realities are different.

Anyway, I fully support your right to not get vaccinated, and I'm against mandates.

And that means of course that I don't transmit the virus to anyone. But guess what, so can you.

Now you will run in the corner and pretend that's not what you meant. It's a coward's way out

Why do you keep going, when I have said many times that I support you?

You're acting as if I'm fighting with you.

There are plenty of people here who are interested in doing that. This is boring as hell.

I wonder if Mac supported the Bakers right to refuse to bake a cake?

You're dishonest and manipulative and everything you say you're not. You should admit that you are here blaming the unvaccinated for viral spread against what your beloved experts say about that spread.

And as soon as I'm done you will go right back to it.

What you type when cornered matters not, Mac, because we all understand your Modus Operandi.

Do we not, USMB?

You're fighting with me, I'm not fighting with you.

Just as we told the jihadis after 9/11, interestingly.

I fully support your right to not get vaccinated, and I'm against mandates.

Stop spreading misinformation about transmission

Can we agree? Vaxxers? Anti-Vaxxers?

Gene therapy is not 'vaccine' Mac

~S~

Oh, okay, that changes everything.

Good stuff.

Doctors at these hospitals should be arrested for reporting fake news:

Thats an eye catching statement from the holier-than-thou lib who claims to be more reasonable than everyone else

what could doctors possibly say that is criminal in nature and trigger Mac1958 ’s ire?

 

[OldFlame]

Underperformance? More like "Not getting vaxxed? Bye".

Why don't you list the scientifically backed reasons that an employer would or could let you go for not being vaxxed?

1. Is it because the vaxxed employees won't get sick? No.
2. Is it because vaxxed employees can't pass it to other employees or customers? No.

What other reasons would there be that differentiates a vaxxed employee from a non-vaxxed one?

You just proved my point, dope.

Everything proves the point of a leftist, particularly things that don't

 

[Hutch Starskey]

The nutters sure are cranky.

They’re being pushed into a corner. Rightfully so IMO. Where the fringies belong.

 

[Mac1958]

They’re being pushed into a corner. Rightfully so IMO. Where the fringies belong.

Well, that's exactly what we need. This death cult is not going to disappear, but it can slowly constrict enough to fit back on the lunatic fringe.

Obviously this ain't gonna happen overnight.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Everything proves the point of a leftist, particularly things that don't

The fact that you don’t even recognize it makes that much more delicious.

 

[MisterBeale]

Sure, but we both know they won't need a hospital.

Because this is just a mild flu, as Trumpsters say.

Right?

I don't think any folks claim it is a mild flu, most think it is a serious as hell infection.

. . . but it certainly doesn't rise to all the hyperbole rising to the fear porn pushed by the media or government.

If the excess death rates weren't manipulated as they have been, I doubt seriously it would appear to be much worse than the Hong Kong flu of 1968.

Yes, the inherent truth of leftism. Just prove you wrong without violating the inherent truth of what you said and you'll believe it. LOL. Or on your native language, baa, baa ...

I've changed my opinion over the last week on vaccinations. There are clearly a lot of people who, for their own reasons, are going to refuse to get vaccinated. There's not a damn thing I can do about that, so I'm just trying to deal with reality here. So to make this as clear as I can:

1. I support your right to not get vaccinated.
2. I am against forcing you to get vaccinated.

There. Nice and clear. I figure the only way to get past this mess is to either get vaccinated or get sick and develop an immunity that way, if you don't die. I'll look at it like a controlled burn, where you just get rid of the wasted underbrush. Fine. We can all move on now. And, I won't even ask you to not spread this virus, especially to kids, since we're now seeing an increase in hospitalizations there. I know that asking you to at least be careful for them is an "attack" on your "freedom" and "liberty", and we all know how you feel about THAT.

There. You are free to exercise your freedom and your liberty, and the rest of us will get off your backs. In exchange, I will propose this fully free market compromise:

1. Any business is free to install and enforce mask mandates to protect their employees and patrons. If you don't like that, you are free to exercise your free market rights and shop at their competition.
2. Any hospital is free to (a) put voluntarily non-vaccinated COVID patients on a lower priority for both ICUs and private rooms so that regular patients with other problems can be served as they should be, and (b) charge whatever extra COVID fees they feel are appropriate, whether it is upon admission, on a daily basis, or both. In cash. Up front. A fully free market solution.

Can we agree? Vaxxers? Anti-Vaxxers?

Plenty of them claim it's a flu.

Let's see if you take that up with them.

Ooo.. more gravy.

You said, "mild flu."

Now it's the flu.


Which is it?


Many many years, I remember a mild flu not affecting ER rooms around the nation.

OTH? Many years I remember a serious flu filling up ER's around that nation to capacity, just like this.

Stop equivocating.

. . . oh wait, nm, I forgot who I was posting to.

You only speak that one language.
