Do you believe that the COVID-19 vaccine doesn't prevent from getting the virus or passing it, and if so, do you agree in restricting air travel or office work for those who reject the vaccine?

Should the same be extended to those who smoke, drink, have a bad died, or refuse the Flu vaccine?

Yes, No, No.

I think people/the government should stay the hell out of other's lives and business.

@Magenta good luck next time your house is on fire...
Magenta · F
@Yulianna Blah. It's not the same and you know it.

Preach to someone who buys your religion.
I pay taxes to provide me an ambulance /police/army/hospitals..
I dont pay a tax to tolerate Covid mandates..

I believe in people taking personal responsibility for their decisions..

I reject the jack boot nanny state ideology that people must be forced to do what ever their ""Superiors??"" tell them to do..

If a person takes the vaccine they can still get covid but the claim is that people who take the vaccine will not suffer any serious complications from Covid.. So it supposedly practically makes them invulnerable to the disease..

So a person who decides not to take the Vaccine is only a potential threat to themselves and to other like minded people who decide not to take the vaccine.. They are not a threat to those who have decided to take the vaccine.. So it should not matter at all if they fly or work at an office or attend a concert or go to a club/bar/pub or socialize in any other way with the vaccine taking crowd..

If the people who reject the vaccine get Covid from their contacting others then so be it.. The personal outcome of the disease is their own responsibility.. Once you put restrictions of their rights and freedoms then you are nothing but a pack of dictatorial fascists running a jack boot nanny state..

The person who wrote this question is extremely stupid. we've been in covid lockdown for a year. How the hell can you not tell the difference between a contagious disease and a bad diet?

@CountScrofula The question is about the vaccine not stopping you from getting the virus and passing it to others.
LucyFuhr · 56-60, F
@SW-Questions What does "smoke, drink, have a bad died" have to do with it?
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@SW-Questions The vaccine does prevent infection. If you don't have the vaccine, you aren't passing it to others.

It’s time to move on after we have been vaccinated. It does something whether safeguards us or we go grow a third arm. It’s time to get back to normal now.
@Yulianna i have been quite consistent in my belief that lockdown was unnecessary
In previous pandemics they isolated the sick-not the healthy.
I don’t care if people disagree with me.i studied pandemics when I got my degree and never expected a pandemic would be approached like this.
It has already been suggested that flu outbreaks will result in lockdowns.
We have gone done a slippery slope.
There has been a thread on here today in which someone was pointing out what the Covid death rate actually is.As I have done consistently over the past year,
The problem is no one is interested in that.

@Keepitsimple Agreed, but only when *everyone* can have access to it. Which isn't the case right now.
JupiterDreams · 31-35
You've been asking a lot of questions about the vaccine, Question Bot... 🤨
@JupiterDreams because people too afraid to ask them themselves because of all the pro and anti vaccine lunatics on here
Yes, I believe this. Makes me mad when coworkers that have received the vaccine come back ignorantly without a mask claiming they’re “cured” smh.
It may or may not. In all reality no more effective than any other vaccine, nothing's 100%.

I don't think air travel or anything else should be restricted for not having the vaccine.
Elessar · 26-30, M
It's not a matter of beliefs, it's a matter of data. So far there isn't any evidence either suggesting that vaccinated people can spread, or suggesting that vaccines halt also transmission. It's just too early to know.

What we know for sure is that vaccines prevent the occurrence of the disease for most people, above all severe manifestations of the disease, and that's what matters eventually.
Perhaps we should all just walk around in our own personal bubble. Some people just arent meant to leave the confines of home.
Magenta · F
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Lol. May as well live in an insulated/isolated bomb shelter and never see the light of day or breathe fresh air.
@Magenta yep, if i wanted to take out every single risk i could ever face, i'd just have to give up driving, of course. no more hiking in the mountains, because there are bears and mountain lions and ticks. no more flying. wonder what the down payment on one of those bomb shelters is ??
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Bears and mountain lions and ticks and hiking don't kill more than half a million Americans in a year. We all take risks every day in all we do. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't take reasonable precautions to reduce risks. Seatbelts are mandatory in most jurisdictions for a reason--they save lives and are easy to implement. It is the same thing with taking reasonable precautions for covid. The restrictions on travel are temporary and will not last forever. We should be in much better shape later this year.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
do you think the question robot should check if the question makes any sense?

this makes SW look cheap and incoherent, which we all know it isn't!
Imagine a vaccine so good.
You got to be threatened to take it..
And once you’ve had it. You still gotta wear a mask and can still spread it..

The vaccine does not stop anyone from getting the Chinese flu as it only lessens the the severity. I have mixed feelings about blocking air travel or office workers if they do not get the vaccine. It is a personal choice and should be, not any different if you walk across the street or drive, you never know when you are gonna die doing something that is potentially dangerous. However, texters should be shot on site if doing it while driving.
Here it seems we are going ban foreign travel so that the return to normality is not put in jeopardy.If only we’d done that over a year ago....

@TheSirfurryanimalWales In The USA, if Trump would have alerted us we could have done something sooner!🤨
iamnikki · 31-35, F
No vaccine prevents you from getting a virus. They only lessen the severity of the virus is contracted.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@iamnikki Absolutely correct.
SW-Questions · Robot
@iamnikki If that is correct (that vaccinated people can still get the virus and pass to others), do you agree in restricting air travel or office work for those who reject the vaccine?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@SW-Questions no, being vaccinated is a matter of personal choice. Hopefully, enough people get vaccinated that even the unvaccinated have [b]some [/b]degree of protection, also known as 'herd immunity'.
HannahSky · F
The problem with this question is that it's not taking into consideration the % of the population vaccinated. With 10-15% of the population fully vaccinated you're still look at a high transmission rate.
In time, we'll know how effective the vaccines are. Have to continue to be patient and cautious. Be happy there are vaccines so early.
purplepen · 51-55, F
I think it will help reduce the spread in general. I think temporarily restricting air travel, with or without the vaccine, is a very important part of getting the pandemic under control. But permanently, no. Most of the population will develop resistance to covid 19, especially with several types of vaccines and many recovered cases.

- Nah
- Nah
- Nah, unless the job you are doing puts you in a position where it's absolutely nescessary [i](like in a hospital for instance)[/i].
Nomad7 · 22-25, M
I think it works in most cases and I don't think world governments are stupid to administer vaccines that have no effect. Nothing in medicine is ever 100% effective and there may be side effects, but it's a risk everyone should take.

And air travel and work at the office should be reduced until majority of populations have been effectively vaccinated.

People without medical conditions who reject the vaccines should be arrested

Was it not the goddamndemocrats who were firmly opposed to the vaccine?
Peaches · F
Yes, it doesn't prevent us from getting it. It's supposed to help keep us out of the hospital if we do get it, that's what I've heard. I think we should restrict it at least until after Easter. We aren't out of the woods yet.
SW-Questions · Robot
@Peaches If that is correct (that vaccinated people can still get the virus and pass to others), do you agree in restricting air travel or office work for those who reject the vaccine?
Peaches · F
@SW-Questions I think it should be restricted either way, rather they've rejected it or not. Right now I'm not comfortable in small spaces with lots of people, the virus has mutated.
Conform or be destroyed..

No Covid passport
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
no.

And most of those anti vaccers are pro life and anti abortion which just shows how moronic they are.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Thevy29 Back up your bullschiff with facts
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 But you antivaccers don't know how to read.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Thevy29 Apparently neither do the demonocrats, just look at how they ignore The Constitution
