Everyone should get the vaccine, and not be dumbasses.

Everyone should make their own decisions, but based on facts. There are some conditions that increase the risks of the vaccine, so if you have any of those, you may be safer risking COVID. That's rare though, so the average person should indeed just get it, but there are exceptions.

Like mail carriers, certain federal representatives, etc.
@Budwick I mean health conditions. Your job doesn't affect the safety of the vaccine for you.

@NerdyPotato The point is is dumass, it's obvious why there are certain exemptions.

Mail carriers for example - already bought and paid for to deliver SOME mail in ballots.
@Budwick what do mail in ballots have to do with vaccines? And yes, mail carriers are paid to deliver mail. So what?

@NerdyPotato I bet as a child you failed with connecting the dots game.
@Budwick ah, insults. A sign you're out of arguments.

@NerdyPotato Admitting your failures is a sign of growth.
@Budwick very true. Hopefully you'll continue to grow.

@NerdyPotato It effects other people.

Do you make your own decision to drive on the wrong side of the road? You are taking a risk with yourself but as also others.
@Burnley123 That's why I think everyone should take it if they safely can. But I nor any government can decide whether the vaccine is safe for anyone's personal health situation. It is safe for the average person and thus I urge the average person to take it. But if a weak immune system or allergies make it dangerous to get the vaccine, I respect their choice without asking for proof of those conditions.
@Burnley123 don't be dumb... the vaccine and driving down the wrong side of the road are nowhere near comparable, and you know it.

If you go to a party and you see everyone eating peanut butter sandwiches and raving about how good they are... would you be inclined to tuck in, knowing well that this sandwich could be the last thing you ever eat before you die from a fatal allergic reaction???

That's what you are asking these people to do - put something in their system that will kill them because its comparable to driving on the wrong side of the road.

@NerdyPotato If someone genuinely has a condition, then sure that is different. All those who can should. To not do so passes risk onto others.

@HootyTheNightOwl Those who are not vaccinated are more likely to spread it. The point with personal choice on this is that it doesn't just affect you.

There are good rules and bad rules. Legitimate authority and illegitimate authority.

As I said above, people with medical donditions should be exept from mandates and I'm not sure how anyone would think I've said otherwise. 🤷
@Burnley123 Then, why are you fighting with Phoenix???

His argument is basically that we should each be free to decide whether or not we have the vaccine based on the scientific and medical facts that relate to us.

If you agree that people should be exempt where the medical and scientific information states that they are safer not having the vaccine - then, you have no point to argue because you are both in agreement... 🤔

@HootyTheNightOwl LOL. I wasn't fighting with him. Why would I?

We disagree though he has manners enough not to jump to assumptions or call me dumb.

@HootyTheNightOwl pffff. You've misunderstood my point.

At no stage have I said people with life threatening allergies should be force vaccinated. My comment was aimed at anti-vaxxers.

I have sympathy for your personal circumstances but you've really badly missed the point.
