I am a firm believer in a person having the right to choose. Because I am in a high risk group I chose to be vaccinated. If it should come to pass that some poorly paid drone comes to my door inquiring about vaccinations I will politely decline to answer any questions. I will not take out my displeasure brought on by the invasion of privacy out on the person at the door because they are only doing what the employer is telling them to do. They aren't the enemy, Washington is the problem. Kind of like the census takers - answer what is necessary and ignore all the other questions. Privacy to me is paramount. Bob
So far as I am aware, people still have a choice in who they choose to work for as well. Choosing that job says volumes about them, IMO.

There are plenty of jobs out there that I would never do and this is one of them. However I don't disparage those that are actually out there doing something instead of sitting at home sucking on the government teat. If someone has the courage to voice their convictions about the vaccine, more power to them. If others choose to ignore their message in a peaceful manner, more power to them as well. If they do visit my door, it will be one of those momentary irritations that will quickly pass. Kind of like the Jehovahs Witnesses that show up once a year and get told no thank you just before I close the door. Bob

I can't speak for gp, but since his statement shares my sentiments on it. Um, no. Stay home since you're living in fear and let the adults do their thing. If you, as a vaccinated individual are so fearful of catching the disease from the unvaccinated, why would you have bothered to get it? And if fear of getting the disease isn't the motivation for your comments here, what is your concern? If you are truly that afraid, even after getting the vax... stay home, bunker down, and swill in your fear. The rest of us are doing just fine, truly.

I generally don't condone anyone participating in illicit trades, of which this is surely one.

Well, while most everyone else was huddled safely at home during some/all of 2020, I was working my normal shift every day. The REALLY sad part is that my job is ~98% able to be done remotely yet I still had to come in. The company I work for has 3 US locations, and 3 in India. Our India offices have been closed for ~17 months now with no sign they will return any time soon. The other 2 US locations, they have been closed since March 2020 except somebody would come in to the office here or there for the mail, restart a server, etc.
But, our office has remained business as usual. We even had a MANDATORY Christmas party. We had to be in the office, while every other location again, was working from home. Well, exactly half of our office caught COVID; mine was a few days behind everyone else. Being the nice sharing person that I am, I gave it to my wife (she has worked from home since well before COVID). As my lousy luck would have it, I had vacation already scheduled. Was I allowed to get vacation time back and instead take sick time? Nope. I hadn't missed a day in 3 years. Their response. Well, you've had it now you can't get it again soon.
Work has been asking odd questions about the vaccine (who's gotten it, who hasn't, etc.) I fully expect it will become a mandatory thing at some point. I have done my research and found that legally they can require it. If that happens, I'll pitch a fit. They say they want us to all be safe. Where has all that concern been during the past 18 months where I've carried more than my share and they were silent.
My wife has gotten it as early as she could and she is glad. I am not closed minded about it, but I haven't found anything that compels me to want to do it either.

I've always been told that it is a change in the environment that a virus is comfortable with that causes a mutation.
The virus that survive the attack and environmental change brought on by the vaccine are the mutation. A halfarsed
attempt at a immunity with a rushed vaccine is more than likely the cause of the mutations, not the unvaccinated.

Everyone should be responsible for themselves. If you being responsible for yourself means you stay home, so be it.
Had we adopted this very logical approach in March of last year; with at risk people and their families protecting themselves rather the half-baked approach recommended by Fauci where all people were considered the same risk, prompting interaction between those at risk and those not at risk, we would have achieved a measure of natural herd immunity a year ago, and the vaccine would have released those truly at risk into the community.

Are they going to bring the FREE beer and lottery tickets.
If so, No, I have not had my shots yet. Just leave the beer and give me my lottery tickets and I promise I'll go get vaccinated as soon as I sober up and can drive.
I would be suspect of the beer if it does not have any labels.

I agree that every individual has the right to get sick if they choose to. People do NOT have the "right" to engage in behaviors (like not getting vaccinated) that put the rest of us at greater risk.
For that to work most every individual in every country would need to be vaccinated. Won't happen. The U. S. does not control the whole world. The if I'm elected people etal that did the Syphilis experiments on Black men, gave smallpox blankets to Indians and uses Thimerosal (mercury based ingredients) in vaccines wonder why some people don't trust them.

Vaccinations are an individual decision...........should not be mandated by the state.
I have worked in pharmaceutical research....conducting trials........i was also in the military. I have received more than my share of vaccines as a young kid and through the military...........got a bunch more when I decided to ride a mountain bike from Cancun to Costa Rica. Vaccines are good things. But. I understand the hesitancy due to the mRNA nature of this new COVID vax..............did I take it? Yes.

While I do agree with the premise that you put forth, there is a portion that could be misunderstood. Thimerosal is no longer commonly used in vaccines. Only a few flu vaccines still have it listed as a preservative. There were dozens of medical studies concerning the supposed detrimental effects of thimerosal and none could find any harmful effects. In 2001 its use was mostly discontinued not because of any bad effects but because of people being afraid of it and not getting their kids vaccinated. Ethylmercury in thimerosal is not stored by the body like methylmercury and is metabolized and quickly excreted. You get more harmful mercury from eating a Filet-O-Fish than from a vaccine.
But as far as your premise of not trusting the government because of its past actions, I wholeheartedly agree. That is why I did my own exhausting research before getting my vaccine. Bob

I don't think you could be more wrong.
For several years before I got married I participated in many activities that put my life at risk every time we went out. In 3 short years I broke more bones and lost more flesh to frostbite than most will see in a lifetime. Three times I was so broken I should have died. It was the grace of God that saved me, nothing else. That was a form of "freedom" where each time I willingly gambled the rest of my days for a certain goal.
When I met my wife-to-be I recognized something more precious than those elusive goals and I set my sights higher. I sacrificed my autonomous veto over activities for a chance to spend the rest of my days with her. Luckily she said "yes" and now she is more important than I am. I willingly laid that freedom vote down because she relies on me to be here.
The same can be said for someone attempting to live by God's word. We are all born with free will and free choice. As we grow and become more influential in our communities, people ... especially kids ... see our behavior and it influences their behavior and decision making. The wise ones among us will recognize that and moderate our free will to be better examples for kids to follow. Teachers, pastors, Scout leaders ... we all willingly lay down our free will for the benefit of others.

I'd like to know how me being vaccinated protects anyone else. That's like claiming I should wear a seat belt to protect texting drivers.
If you can explain that, then please tell me how wearing a mask that fogs up my glasses can contain anything I breath out. Or in.

Joe and his gang came by our house last night and I thought it was thieves breaking in so I took my shotgun out on the back porch and fired a couple shots up in the air and they ran away.
You see, Sleepy Joe was right. His advice has been right one time since he was elected.------------------Ray
