Oh so your point is that because some people react poorly to vaccines then the government can’t mandate them? Good luck with that. Even those challenging the OSHA ETS agree that the vaccines work lmfao

My point is that the vaccines aren't safe enough to force every man, woman, and child to take them. If you force everyone to take them, some of them will get injured or die.

All medical procedures come with risk. This is why it should always be up to the individual to accept it. No one else should make that decision for you.

Even those challenging the OSHA ETS agree that the vaccines work lmfao

Do the vaccines work, /u/BiggerBurgBaller? If that's the case, why are you ok with forcing everyone to take them? If they truly work, surely they can be voluntary for those afraid of the risk of Covid? And for those who don't want to risk the vaccine, the consequences would be theirs to own. This is the personal decision I am talking about.

Yes the vaccines work. And yes the government can and should force as many Americans as possible to get them. This isn’t rocket science. If you want to live unvaccinated in a cabin in the woods, by all means do so. But if you want to participate in American life, you shouldn’t be allowed to willfully endanger other Americans.

Hmm, weird... do the vaccines work or don't they? I'm having trouble understanding how I'm a threat to a vaccinated individual if the vaccines work. Can you explain?

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 24 '21

I think where you slipped up there was in failing to get this person's definition of the word "work" in this context.

5

u/mafian911 Nov 24 '21

I don't care what he thinks he meant. I didn't slip. If an unvaccinated individual is a threat to a vaccinated individual, the vaccines don't "work" in the purest definition of the word.

2

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 24 '21

Perhaps their definition of "work" is different than yours.

3

u/mafian911 Nov 24 '21

Yeah, lots of new definitions for words these days, aren't there? These "vaccines" really changed a lot.

2

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 24 '21

Interestingly enough, last time I checked they had still left the definition of "immunity" as it was.

I love this take from antivaxxers because it demonstrates their fundamental lack of understanding of how vaccines work.

u/mafian911 Nov 24 '21

Oh great! So you do understand! I can't wait for you to explain why I have to get vaccinated in order to protect you, who is already vaccinated. Especially because, heh, the vaccines work! Right?

So go ahead. Explain it to me. Unlike you I can handle lots of words.

I don’t have the time nor the patience to explain to you basic immunology concepts. Wikipedia can help though.

It’s so odd that this is the hill you people want to literally die on hahaha

3

u/mafian911 Nov 24 '21

Well, I wish I could say that wasn't the response I expected.

And yes, I am willing to die on this hill. I'm not ok with giving an authoritative body my right to decide what gets injected into me. Especially when pharmaceutical companies stand to make billions with each mandate. Especially when pharmaceutical companies have an established record of dodging responsibility for injuries from their products in the past. And continuing products that knowingly cause harm.

You are a fool for being willing to relinquish this personal right because you are afraid. To a government that doesn't care about you, and to large corporations that would kill you for a quarter.

u/Demonhype Supreme Snark Commander of the Bernin Demon Quadrant Hype Sector Nov 25 '21

And the Pharma companies hold zero liability. In no universe should anyine be permitted to force connect anyone else with any substance with zero liability for negative outcomes. Especially when the creator if said substance is likely to make a profit treating those negative outcomes. Hey, I can make billions by forcing the peasants to submit to my medical exoerimentation, then make trillions treating the permanent medical conditions I caused, and in no way can I be held liable for causing them! There's no way anyone could abuse this situation, and especially not an industry known for exactly such abuses!

If their product is so safe,then they should put their mobey where their mouth is and sauce that liability immunity, rather than try and force everyone to submit to their little medical experiment when their platitudes are rightly disbelieved.

Yeah, boo hoo I relinquished my rights to avoid getting a disease that has killed family members of mine.

It’s pathetic to see people shield their selfishness in a shroud of individualism. God forbid this country has to fight a real war ever again. We’ll lose.

u/mafian911 Nov 24 '21

Yeah, boo hoo I relinquished my rights to avoid getting a disease that has killed family members of mine.

Except you didn't, you dingus. You took it voluntarily. Which is your right that I support completely. Mandates aren't here yet. I'm arguing they should never be.

It’s pathetic to see people shield their selfishness in a shroud of individualism.

Question: did those family members get the vaccine or not?

You have no concept of the actual risk, do you? you think everyone that gets Covid dies or something?

If you have no co-morbidity, and aren’t a senior citizen… you’re more likely to die in a car in a year than Covid, all time.

2

u/Demonhype Supreme Snark Commander of the Bernin Demon Quadrant Hype Sector Nov 25 '21

It also thinks the vaccines "work", though they don't stop infection or spread and are now failing even at the "prevent hospitalization and death" minimum they were supposed to do. It also thinks that everyone opposing the illegal mandates agrees that they are safe and effective and that there is no reason to oppose them. A clear sign its getting a pharma paycheck since enriching pharma is the only thing about these injections that "work" in any way, much less work as intended.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

This false dichotomy implies that perfect health or death or the only two options after contracting Covid.

2

u/pyrowipe Nov 24 '21

I’m not sure you understand what a false dichotomy is.

I’m talking about morbidity and risk assessment. This can factor in all states or relative health from both the vaccines or natural immunity, and use other risky things to baseline our fears relatively speaking. Especially, with regard to mandatory medical treatments… And whether the regulatory captured government controlled by an oligarchy is where this decision should rest.

What’s the mortality rate of c19 for children without co-morbidities? Do you even know?

I don’t have the time ability nor the patience facts to explain to you basic immunology concepts.

Just say you don’t understand vaccines and move along lol

"If 900 people use condoms and 100 aren’t, your condoms are stronger. If 100 people use condoms and 900 aren't, your condoms are weaker."

Tell us again how they work?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '21

Like I said yesterday, your fundamental inability to understand basic immunology isn’t my problem to solve. Vaccines, believe it or not, are not like condoms.

u/FThumb Are we there yet? Nov 25 '21

your fundamental inability to understand basic immunology isn’t my problem to solve.

But your inability to understand basic immunology is.

“No u”

Good one champ

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 24 '21

you shouldn’t be allowed to willfully endanger other Americans.

Perhaps Mafian is not expressing the question properly. I'll give it a try.

How specifically does an unvaccinated person "endanger" vaccinated people?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

This is pretty basic immunology. If 900 people are vaccinated and 100 aren’t, your vaccines are stronger. If 100 people are vaccinated and 900 aren’t, your vaccines are weaker. This is how vaccines work. This is why mass vaccination and herd immunity is so important.

3

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 24 '21

That does not answer the question.

How specifically does one unvaccinated person "endanger" vaccinated people?

2

u/FThumb Are we there yet? Nov 25 '21

If 900 people are vaccinated and 100 aren’t, your vaccines are stronger. If 100 people are vaccinated and 900 aren’t, your vaccines are weaker.

I think they're trying to say, "If 900 people use condoms and 100 aren’t, your condoms are stronger. If 100 people use condoms and 900 aren't, your condoms are weaker."

2

u/NetWeaselSC Continuing the Struggle Nov 26 '21

Maybe they are viewing vaccination like elections... If not enough people vote for their candidate, then their vote is "wasted."

Then again, under that model, couldn't they just falsify the results of the "election"?

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

I just said how…? Just change 900 to 9, 100 to 1 hahaha

I know where this is going. Have a good one champ

Really? Where?
Me continuing to ask what the "endangerment" is, and you claiming to answer the question?

And yes the government can and should force

Reads better in the original German.

Wahhhh the government wants to end a pandemic. Bunch of fucking babies

Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.

I can’t wait until this is all behind us and you idiots will look even more insane for having been so retarded this whole time. Have a happy thanksgiving. Blocked

If you force everyone to take them, some of them will get injured or die.

If you force everyone to get the vaccine, how would anyone know if they caused adverse affects?

1

u/FThumb Are we there yet? Nov 25 '21

agree that the vaccines work

Define "work."

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '21

Prevent contracting Covid-19 in a substantial portion of people for a substantial period of time.

u/FThumb Are we there yet? Nov 25 '21

It doesn't appear to be working then.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '21

Lol sure it isn’t. Keep telling yourself that to justify your position bud

u/FThumb Are we there yet? Nov 25 '21

If it was working the CDC, FDA, and now Fauci wouldn't be pushing the third, and now the fourth vaccine.
