Follow the science.

 

Look at the chart above 

 

Please give me a logical reason I should get my 8 and 10 year old vaccinated. 331 deaths out of 375 million people. 

 

More children are killed in car accidents should I not let my children drive in a car either?

 

 

 

Because a child, like anyone else, may be severely affected by COVID in a way other than death.  And because the child could spread the virus to someone who may be negatively affected in a way including death.  Nobody has a problem with a smallpox vax.  People decided that polio wasn’t cool a few decades ago.  And yet here we are with COVID.  The only logical explanation I have for the resistance to that vax is that Trump resisted it, and that his followers are dumb enough to adopt that stance on their own.

When you politicize your argument like you did in the last sentence it makes you seem like you are debating with your emotions instead of your intellect. 

 

Just an observation

Trump never resisted the vaccine.  He's been touting it since the October debates when he said they could release it now but that would look like he was trying to use it for the election.....

 

He told everyone on March 16th to get it.  

 

He's touted it as his administration's achievement. 

 

 

 

You dupes falling for this CCP psyop to divide this country are pathetic.  Wake up and get a clue.

You can’t be serious. Trump is assuredly not pushing the vaccine. Did you see him get the shot or did we find out weeks later he got it? Has he calmly and rationally put out PSAs advising people to get it? Helping advise a community of his followers that it will help them and others if they get the vaccine. No and no. 
 

Trump has not helped with vaccine messaging. That’s a fact.

No the messaging problem is your data.

 

Under 40 and low BMI you ain't dying.  

 

Math.

 

People have assessed the risk.   

 

 

You're going to need the WHO and CCP to come up with a deadlier virus next time....

99% of COVID-19 hospital patients are unvaccinated

 

https://wsiltv.com/2021/07/15/99-of-covid-19-hospital-patients-are-unvaccinated/

 

White House: Florida accounts for 20 percent of all new COVID-19 infections

 

Florida is seeing some of the highest coronavirus hospitalizations, new infections and deaths per capita in the country. The numbers bottomed out as vaccinations became available but recently have been climbing.

 

Currently, the state is reporting an average of 29 new infections for every 100,000 people per day — more than four times the national average.

The people currently using healthcare resources are unvaccinated. It's selfish and irresponsible because not only can they spread to others who may not be able to get vaccinated, they are using the limited healthcare resources. 

 

I don't personally care if they choose to die but I'd prefer they didn't take down others with them and not put others in need of healthcare resources at risk

I actually would agree with you, save for the fact that a significant part of the population (12 and under) can’t yet receive a vax. So kids have to change their lives because of the stupid, selfish, and frankly wimpy behavior of many adults.  Once kids can get the vax (and I appreciate that there are some whose parents will misguidedly not permit that treatment), then it’s fair game.  In that context, though, unvaccinated COVID patients better not crowd our ICUs and hospitals.  

Did you get a lollipop with your shot?  I hope so.  Maybe it would make you feel better. 

 

The Q follower complains about control.  The irony is thick and delicious today. 

Stop calling people stupid when it comes to their personal medical decisions. You have no idea what someone may be dealing with.  Don’t be such an arse!

If you have a medical reason for not getting the shot, by all means don't get it. Otherwise, it's stupid. Cartoon was right in the 30s and is right 90 years later.

I agree with you that there is a very limited number of people who can justify not getting vaccinated and the rest are stupid.

The challenge here is they don’t think they’re going to die, they think the numbers support that analysis, and they think folks like you are presumptuous and a bit weak in the shorts for allowing yourself to be manipulated. They don’t think they’re selfish, they don’t care about your preferences, and aren’t worried about how you view them.  
 

Patrick Henry’s quote regarding freedom has endured for nearly 250 years:  “Give me liberty, or give me death!”

 

What people don’t remember is that his second cousin, Octavious ‘O’ Henry also made a declaration in 1775, albeit in private eating a bowl of lukewarm gruel he scrounged from the garbage outside the local redcoat officers quarters.  He said “Liberty sounds scary, and geesh—-what will the neighbors think?!”.

Well this is promising...

 

 

 

 

 

"Furthermore, the ministers agreed to prepare for enforcing the "Happy Badge" that gives access to weddings and similar events with more than 100 guests only to those who are vaccinated, recovered or holders of a recent negative coronavirus test.

 

The system is only relevant for indoor gatherings where food and drinks are served and people both sit and stand. There will be no cap on participants, and people will be required to wear masks."

Yep.  And will continue to do so.

 

 

The people that share their information on the only platforms that can get you the information asap are not the problem.  

 

The people that run it firmly in bed with dems and selectively choose what you'll see and how many people will see it are the problem.

Most people don’t care if someone chooses not to get vaccinated and dies. The open issue at this point is using health care resources unnecessarily. If you’ve chosen to skip the vaccine and get sick, die in your hole so health care workers and the health system don’t get bogged down. And of course spreading the disease to people who can’t get vaccinated is an even worse outcome of the decision to skip getting the vaccine. *
 

*for SoCal’s benefit, this excludes people with a medical reason who cannot get vaccinated and those who already had Covid.

I have no idea what the number is but for their sake especially, the rest of us need to get the shot.
 

 

If there’s 200 million adults and over 110 million who’ve already been vaccinated and 40 million who already had Covid and maybe another 10 million with a condition that makes it unwise….then isn’t all the hysteria you’re fuming about a bit over the top?

I’m sitting on a beach vaccinated but guessing those 10 million (if that’s the number) see cases rising and are less sanguine. And my family who are in healthcare are less than thrilled to be treating Covid patients at the expense of others who could use their attention.

I was on a beach last week….likewise vaccinated. I’m thankful for your family, but I’m not willing to go as far as you on the name calling. My daughter is breast feeding a newborn. Is she stupid?

I don’t know what her pediatrician and OB/gyn recommended so beats me. If they recommended that she get the vaccine and she didn’t, yes.

No vaccines, no dinner: indoor Greek restaurants accept only inoculated customers

 

ATHENS, July 16 (Reuters) - Restrictions allowing only people vaccinated against coronavirus to be served at indoor restaurants, bars and cafes went into effect in Greece on Friday, with diners broadly in favour of the measure as the country grapples with a surge in infections.

You’re framing the argument in wholly unproductive way.  No one chooses to “skip the vaccine, get sick and die in (a) hole..”.   You can keep repeating that over and over, it simply isn’t true.  

If your hot button issue is use of health care resources, welp, I can understand.  Personally, I support the right to make an informed choice about one’s own health care.

Facts.....put Trump back on Social Media if you truly want to end the pandemic (lol sure) but this is correct if you want a spike in vaccinations.  

 

How many people has FB and Twitter killed bc Trump can't get the message to his 80 million followers....

 

A great thread btw

Actually I want your daughter to not get Covid and spread Covid to others, as well as use a limited resource that keeps other people alive.

Are people like smokers, the obese, and those with herpes/STDs next on your irresponsible list?

 

I'd argue a smoker who got vaccinated but hasn't stopped smoking and similarly, an obese vaccinated person who's made no effort to lose weight, are just as irresponsible according to your concept.
 

They've done nothing to reduce their comorbidities of catching covid other than taking a shot and hoping they've got enough antibodies if necessary.
