No, because it doesn’t kill young healthy people by and large, we shouldn’t force those people to get it. People that are compromised have the ability to get the vaccine to protect themselves.
True - but if it can help prevent spread to people who - for example - have a weakened immune system AND also can’t take the vaccine due to a medical issue, wouldn’t it make sense to get inoculated to reduce the risk that it’s spread to them?
No, I’m saying that in a free society it is sick to force people to inject things into their bodies that they are opposed to injecting.
Your outlier argument doesn’t hold water here. Those folks that are at risk are probably at risk of many other things affecting them because they have comorbidities. They should be protected the best they can be.
But people getting the vaccine can still shed the virus to them. So it doesn’t even really prevent them from getting sick.
Those people that are that compromised health wise that they can’t get the vaccine are likely in stage 4 cancer or have much more to worry about than just COVID. That’s not being harsh that’s just reality.
But don’t come on here with your hypothetical example with no real data to support it and say that we are heartless because there may be people out there that can’t get the vaccine and protect themselves.
I understand - I’d like to know why. And outside of a good reason, I think it’s sick to be selfish and risk getting it and giving it to others - which could literally kill them.
We should do what we can to protect them from as much as possible. This is a tired excuse. “Something else is going to get them. Might as well be COVID.”
Hey @skeeter - it doesn’t “prevent” - it “protects against.”
Uhh, asthma? Diabetes? They are just two examples of very manageable diseases on their own - that COVID can really mess with.

Why what? Why we shouldn’t be forced? Are you fucking serious?
And me being vaccinated is showing to have NOTHING to do with you getting it. I do believe the stats from hospitals are true and it does help you fight it…For the 4000th time it is does not have anything to do with getting it and giving it to others.
Wasn’t the point…You are still too dumb to comprehend
And also it does not stop transmission (it doesn’t matter which verb you want to use here the point in this argument is transmission is not treatment/fighting it) …Whether that is because of new variants or whatever OK. It was thought/hopeful to stop transmission…It is not. That’s why we are seeing outbreaks in small groups of vaccinated or also in countries with high vaccination rates…Your verb choice doesn’t matter here…It’s doing nothing against transmission. Maybe it did do something against the original strain? But it is doing nothing against the mutations. The vaccine does appear to help you avoid getting severe covid…It helps you fight it as shown by a higher ratio in hospitals vaccinated/unvaccinated.
Asthma? I read multiple times covid has no effect on asthma? Is this recent?
Regardless of which…Then these people need to take further precautions, should be getting a vaccine, etc…After a couple months when we knew everything we need to know, none of us are responsible for them, there is now a vaccine, and no one is forcing them to leave their house
Just stop with the ridiculous sanctimony. And if you aren’t going to stop, quit inflicting yourself on others, or expect us to take part in it.
