Hey Capco,

 

I can't think of anything more personal than what you allow someone else to put into your body.

 

Cole Beasley should have no say in what you choose to put in your body and you should have a say in what Cole puts in his.  Ultimately, that how I see it.

 

I agree with you that vaccinations are a public health issue, but I don't believe that a public health concern trumps your right as an individual to say what happens to your body.  Remember that in this particular instance, we are talking about a vaccine being used under an emergency use authorization. The usual process to get FDA approval for a vaccine takes over a decade.  I looked at the data as we understand it today, and decided that getting the vaccine was the right choice for me.  It's not my place or the government's place to force this vaccine on someone who doesn't want it.

 

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.


🍻

 

Nobody is forcing anyone to get vaccinated.

The best part is, after labelling  his post "Public Service Announcement",  this guy prints out one of the least intelligible screeds ever penned by a pro athlete:

 

"I'd rather die actually living" (vaccine may interfere with "Beasley-style" livin'?)

 

"I have family members who's days are numbered" (It's called natural selection, son)

 

"build up my immunity that way.  Eat better.  Drink water."  (he left out the bleach)

 

"I'll get to live freely........forever" (yeah, sure...why not?)

 

Gotta feel and hear the Pegula's collective cringing after seeing this.

 

Anyone's decision to take the vaccine is a personal one.  But why would this guy demonstrate his wacked out nature with this kind of publication?  Just don't get it if you don't want it. Why let your crazy out?

 

A real head scratcher.

 

Dude new album, no joke. You just provided half a dozen titles and more than enough lyrics. 

 

"Build up my immunity that way, eat better (ugh), I'll get to live freely....forever (what)"

 

followed by Cole jumping out of bush or something smeared in warpaint pointing to the sky

My favorite nephew is studying to become a minister and the discussions we have had concerning vaccinations has shown me just how sensative and personal it can get. My mostly science driven arguments are all for not with him.

 

I respect his beliefs.

The post I was responding to said  "Vaccination is a broader public health issue that goes beyond the individual." 

 

Thank you for your contribution.

Which is correct, and has very little to do with your assertion that ‘it’s not my place or the government’s to force this vaccine on someone who doesn’t want it’.

43 out of 50 states disagree because you can be exempt from vaccine's in school because personal or religious beliefs

 

That's a hard majority

 

I can't wrap my head around the concept of a state "disagreeing", but allowing vaccine exemptions for personal or religious belief doesn't mean that those states disagree that "Vaccination is a broader public health issue that goes beyond the individual. "

 

To the contrary, I think public health officials in those states agree that vaccination is a broader public health issue that goes beyond the individual, but they also recognize that public health and religious freedom can be balanced provided the number of "opt outs" are small enough that herd immunity can accommodate them.  

 

It's also proven to be an issue because the exemptions are usually not random - they tend to cluster in a geographical area around a group of families that tend to have regular contact, and outbreaks have flared.  The number of states that allowed religious exemptions was larger, until outbreaks occurred in several of them:

Nit: it's not 43 states that allow exemption for "personal" belief, that's a smaller number - 12 or 15.

And that’s all good. Beasley is not trying affect beliefs, he’s trying to change policy to suit both his comforts and beliefs. He’s being selfish, bottom line.

I said religious or philosophical. Or

 

I wasn't wrong

 

And nobody can stop you from saying I'm a Scientologist and I'm not getting my kid vaccinated

 

My point was sure it's a public health issue but it's doesn't mean they can force vaccinate everyone who doesn't want it.. there's a lot of avenues in this country

 

There's definitely unvaccinated kids in New York who are homeschooled.. now I'm not sitting here saying I'm anti polio vaccine.. I'm not 

 

But if you want to be a dumb parent that chooses that I'm not going to stop you

And it's not hard to get it. You can't get it in New York but it's not hard to get it in the States you can 

 

It's called philosophical exemption for reason. If it's against your philosophies you can't be forced to take it

 

Same with religion. Just need to say it's against your religion

 

The requirements vary a bit more than that, @Buffalo716.  In the 12 or 14 or whatever states that allow philosophical exemption, you're correct.

 

In some of the other states, you have to demonstrate that you're a practicing member of a religion that absolutely objects to vaccines, such as Christian Scientists or groups that believe in faith healing.

 

That's a small point, I know, but the point is in most states, it's more than "it's against my philosophies" "OK"

 

Force isn't the issue; if you want your children to attend daycare or public school, then vaccination is mandatory (with very limited exceptions).

ok explain it cause all i read is what was in the OP. it pretty clearly states that he wants to make a "personal choice" on his health in several different ways and is uncompromised in that choice regardless of what happens career or healthwise.

 

what did i miss?

 

You missed the whole thing where he said he won't follow the NFL Covid protocols put in place even if he has to retire.

You deliberately take things out of context and argue just to argue.

 

You are the first poster in over 3 years on this website that I've decided to block.  You're not worth the aggravation.

 

Cheers

 Which is what I asked him as well. And citing X States vs. Y States means less than nothing to me. Show actual population polls then maybe I’d consider it.

Both can be true, correct?  One can simultaneously recognize that vaccination is a broader public health issue that goes beyond the individual, AND not "force" people to be vaccinated?

There have been a number of outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities and care homes where the residents were 90% vaccinated, but the staff only ~50%.  The staff brought the infection in with them and objectively and factually infected the residents they cared for and other staff members (including some who were vaccinated).  People died who didn't need to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, now do all residents of the skilled nursing facilities in NY that died unnecessarily because someone threw all common sense out the window and decided that the correct course of action was to force those facilities into taking in and cross contaminating covid positive patients with the general population. 

 

The point is, there is a level of abject stupidity that defies common sense at play here. Ie "you must lock yourself in your room without visitors so you don't get sick inorder to destroy yourself out on the field on prime-time tv." 

 

They are creating a caste system and punishing anyone who dares to go against it.

Good point. Tommy lost almost a year of development and ended up with a potentially serious complication because, ya know, god’s will.

This I don't understand.


because saying “X number or states think this” is misleading. I’d rather see the number of people that ascribe to A (or B.)

 

states have populations ranging from what 40+ million vs 700K? That’s all i’m saying

Could you rewrite the first two lines in English please? 

 

Also, have you actually read the NFL's protocols for non vaccinated players?  There is no requirement to "lock yourself in your room without visitors".

I agree that they're creating a caste system with punishments for violations.  But there are health impacts of those who aren't vaccinated on those who are.  So I'm not sure how one could allow freedom of choice about vaccination without (effectively) creating a caste system by having different restrictions on unvaccinated folks.

i get you, but again, the primary factor in vaccine effectiveness is enough people getting it. Pushing against people pushing for more people getting vaccinated is ridiculous in my book. It’s what we have to do in order for all money, all those shots to mean something. I’m low risk but I got the shot asap. It wasn’t for me it was for the people around me.
