Thoughts on the ultimate cancel culture step.
The vaccine mandated, you can't eat, sleep, travel, work or live here unless you're vaccinated.
Doesn't matter if you have natural immunity from it or any of your circumstances. If you don't agree with getting the jab you can't live on my planet.
I guess we should get ready for the big ovens next.
Do some of you people really think the government is putting nanobots or trackers or mind-control-whatevers in the COVID vaccine ?
I could smoke crack and skip 3 weeks of my antipsychotics and still not come up with that
Do honestly belive that's the main problem here? I've seen way more crazy people who believe that covid is the bubonic plague, decontaminating everything they touch, driving with a mask on by themselves. Crazy people be crazy.
The main issue is the authoritarian steps the goverment is taking for no practical reason. Yes I would like everyone to be vaccinated too but i wont go authoritarian and fire people from their jobs for it.
Prime example is the healthcare workers in New York. Must not be a crisis if New York is willing to fire 1400 despritely needed healthcare workers. Normal people see the absolute stupidity.
It's less 'nanobot theory' and more that the rules on what counts as vaccinated keep changing, the dishonesty of public bodies in regards to withholding and portraying data in certain ways, and excluding those who have not had a vaccine from society, despite there only being risk from having the virus, not being vaccinated.
I think it's an overreaction, especially to demand it from healthy young people instead of the frail. And it's ok that some people want to get a vaccine, but I know immunocompromised people who can't have mRNA vaccines (which are the only available near them), those with needle phobias, or those who simply don't want to try out such a young vaccine.
Having experience with journalism on a small scale, the way this event has been portrayed to the public was dishonest and based in shaming and fear tactics.
You're right to think the nanobot theory is ridiculous. The notion of losing rights because of what you put in your body is, nevertheless, atrocious.
Some do, but a majority of those who dont want to get vaccinated in the US fear that the government is forcing them to take a vaccine that will do more harm to them than good.
A bunch of people at my work refuse to get the jab as they have stated it will make them more sick than healthy. “Why should I take a vaccine if i can still get and transmit covid?” The mon medical professionals say.
Who cares?
It's just two weeks
It's just a mask
It's just essential workers
It's just a haircut
It's just emergency powers
It's just temporary powers edict
It's just the new normal
It's just state mandates
It's just the federal mandate
It's just a job
It's just until 70% herd immunity
It's just until 80% herd immunity
It's just until 95% herd immunity
But remember people, that if you were a hero during the beginning of the pandemic you will be treated like a diseased dog for not taking the vaccine that isnt even as effective as the natural immunity you probably have.
But it's just a needle so dont be a fucking baby about it right?
I'll trust the goverment no matter how many times they move the arbitrary goal posts.
People like yourself are exactly why groups like the nazis come into power. No critical thinking, just following orders.
"...I'm noticing 99% of the people who have had Covid-19 in my community turn out just fine..."
Risk perception is a weird thing; we're just not wired up to intuitively understand it.
How would you feel about getting on a plane if one in a hundred flights ended up in a pile of flames, mangled metal and dismembered bodies? Would you ever consider drinking a particular brand of soft-drink if you learned that one in a hundred cans were contaminated with a chemical that damaged your kidneys so much that you'd have to go on dialysis and the transplant list? Would you hand over your money to a guy offering bungee-jumping or sky-diving if he told you that 99% of his customers got through the experience without dying or permanent disability?
If you can honestly say yes to any of those hypotheticals, then my guess would be that you're one of those stupid young people who firmly believes that nothing too bad will ever happen to them, and who hasn't yet fully accepted the reality that they're mortal.
Cars are way more deadly then airplanes. Life is full of risks best you can do is make the choice yourself. That's why the goverment mandating it is so abhorrent to me. It goes outside of their authority and the left barely calls it out because "their guy" is in office.
Republicans had no issue shitting on trump. God forbid a democrat calls out biden and then is immediately labeled as far right.
If 1 outta 100 planes crashed I would just not go on the plane myself. If others are willing to take that risk thats on them.
Just like if you're scared or covid you can hide out in your basement for years but people who want to work should be allowed.
You're just expanding what the term "cancel culture" means, and it's profoundly idiotic. Originally, "cancel culture" referred to a climate on certain circles on Tumblr and Twitter wherein saying something deemed offensive by some got one roundly criticized, dismissed, and potentially deplatformed. You're comparing people tearing down the reputations of public personas on social media with a government mandate to not spread a fucking disease. Say what you want about the govt taking too many liberties with the latter, the two things are not comparable.
ETA: Millions have already died from Covid, and you're invoking gas chambers to describe the horrors of vaccine mandates. Wanna develop a little self-awareness?
Cancel culture is not just some online game or social media play thing. It has been used to close/boycott people and places. People have gotten fired and lost their businesses because they have different opinions or views on something.
And yes almost 5 mil have died out of a world population of almost 8 billion. 80 million would be 1%. So 5 mil is not even .1% why aren't we panicking over cancer or cars they're killing as many or more.
The numbers of deaths equate to about 1.5 to 2% of those who get covid not of the population. Big difference!
6 million Jews died during the Holocaust. That's like, 1% of the population or some shit. If you're going to complain about coronavirus "only" killing 1% (number could be higher if nobody took precautions), maybe don't go into histrionics about gas chambers just because someone's trying to provide you a potentially life-saving vaccine at no cost to yourself.
Sure but that was 6 million in a much smaller world population as well as 6 million by the hands of one ruling party in one main geographical area.
So let's hate the Chinese for killing 5 million with the virus, and if, let's say, the United kingdom had all 5 million covid deaths, I would agree it's a major problem. Hell I agree now it's a pretty big problem. But not one that justifies taking away personal freedoms and to justify discrimination against those who elect, for what ever reason, not to get the jab. I would almost bet you support legalizing assisted suicide and abortion, based on their body their choice. Well if the vaccine works as they claim then those that don't get vaccinated are exercising their choice, and if you think vaccinating everybody is going to wipe the virus out, that's not going to happen. Even the scientists pretty much all agree it's here to stay. This virus may very well just turn out to be another reoccurring event. You can't put it back in the test tube.
It's not supporting the system to get the vaccine. Its supporting the system when you bend over backwards for the authoritarian edicts and picking up a rock and beating anti mandate protesters because CNN told you they were ani vaxxers. Those are two different people.
I said it jokingly but more and more it's becoming serious. If you can convince people that it is ok to ban people from living, working, or being part of society. It's just a small step to convince people these others are inferior or subhumans and should be eliminated or locked away.
Then you have bootlickers like oldmanxxx that says it's all perfectly legal negating that it blatant overreach by the goverment that is prized for its freedom of its individuals.
It doesnt make me a sovereign citizen if I'm not following an edict that didnt even go through congress.
A member of my family got Covid 19, and ended up dead after receiving the vaccine so fuck the mandates!
All these mandates require a person to be fully vaccinated with little if any consideration for those that have had covid.
Even the scientists admit they don't have enough data to determine how long or how strong the antibodies last. Their overall consensus has been for those that have had covid is to get one shot of the vaccine. However, that isn't enough to make you a card carrying member of the vaccinated party. So put yourself at risk and stuff your body with extra vaccine to get your card. Even though, the CDC and FDA can't even agree with the manufacturers about a need or safeness of a third booster shot. If it's not needed or safe to get a third shot then, is it safe or needed to have covid plus two shots. I would say the jury is still out, but we will soon find out. With all the mandates and fear tactics, more and more scared people needing to keep their jobs, have taken the not recommended jab!
Cancel culture is toxic. People should have the right to choose even if they are wrong
I just don't understand the double standard. We substandard humans have fought this type of thinking for years.
I'm talking any minority groups, female, black, teenagers, any subset you can pick out of the human race have heard the term "You People" can't do, won't do, shouldn't do, or must do, all to a point the term has actually been considered derogatory. Yet, I hear the President and numerous politicians and public figures using it to describe non vaccinated people. It's just conditioning and reaffirming the followers, to believe this group is inferior or subhumans.
Okay to mistreat and rule or dominate.
I also don't understand the thinking. If getting vaccinated is the cure or answer then why worry about those that don't vax. If the non vaxed are going to die then get your jab and sit back with a beer and watch the show.
As far as I'm concerned it's the vaxed and science that have created a lot of the problems.
Especially with the second wave. People who were vaxed were told that was the answer and they were free people once they were FULLY vaxed. They didn't need to social distance, wear mask, or take any precautions if vaxed, and they did just that. Just as the numbers were going down on the virus, the tourist industry, this summer, saw record numbers. People had been locked away for a year it was time to escape. Then we hear 'oops' we were wrong you can still catch and spread it but your symptoms will be light or almost unnoticeable. So now you have to go back to mask and social distancing even if you are jabbed. They actually have it and they're out there spreading it around. The numbers are BS, because if you have such a light case, you don't get tested, and you sure don't end up in the hospital. So all these people don't show up in the numbers. Just like before the vaccines they said asymptomatic cases maybe as high as 25 to 30 percent. They don't know because these people don't seek testing or treatment. I run into people everyday that still think I'm fully vaxed so I don't need to take precautions. Those that aren't vaccinated know they are at risk and if they haven't gotten covid in the last 18 months or so, are taking precautions or don't play much in public. They are not the danger. The other category would be unvaxed but previously had it. Numbers are smaller for them to get reinfected compared to those vaxed, but some of them are just like the fully vaxed, I don't have to take precautions any more. They could be spreading it just like those fully vaxed.
But to mandated is WRONG !!!
It'll take some people longer to wake up than others. A lot of two jabbers aren't willing to go any further down this road.
You probably ought to cancel this account and try again or just come clean, especially now that you know no one believes you about it anyway.
*sigh*
Seems I have to go back to my hypeman-slash-bouncer duties and share my ItDuzese language observations...

Sounds_Werid, please keep away from me. I watched you guys interacting and incase you hadn't noticed, I backed out long ago. You're all crazy and I don't expect to have to deal with whatever fixation you have with the other guy. Are you going to respect this request or will I be expected to deal with what the other person has been dealing with and have you and your friends harassing me on any and all comments I make?
