COVID Vacination Dilemma

Poll - Total Votes: 27

Do you believe getting the vacine or not should be a personal private affare

Do you think others have a right to know if you have or have not been vacinated

You can only vote on one answer.

My father passed away almost 2 years ago. Because of COVIT his cremated remains have not been brought back home for proper burial until now.

There is to be a small gathering of family and a few friends to celibrate his life.

An invitation was sent out requiring everyone to show proof of vaccination or a negative test taken in the last 48 hrs. I don't understand why there is still so much fear over COVIT.
Is this never going to go away?
COVIT like the flu will probably be around forever. Thankfully there are treatments and vaccines for both.

Will I soon be required to show proof of having the flu shot?

I personally find this requirement totally wrong and violates my privacy. This has nothing to do with whether I have or have not been vaccinated.

I have not seen my brother or sister in almost 20 years because we live on other ends of the country. I guess it may be another 20 years before I see them.

Do to this demand by my brother I will not be attending my dad's burial and celebration of life get together. I refuse to be required to show my papers as though I live in Natzi Germany.

Do you feel I'm right or wrong in my decision to not attend?

I have a neighbor who is immuno-compromised. She got the vaccine but it's not clear how much good it did her. And there are millions of Americans with similar conditions. People like that are only protected by herd immunity. So I see it as my civic responsibility to get vaccinated to protect people like my neighbor, especially because, if they do get infected, they are much more likely to die. And it's rather surprising to me that so many people in the "choose life" party are refusing this simple safe step that helps protect the lives of millions of Americans. Yes, I feel your decision is wrong.

BTW, I have traveled a fair amount, including four flights during Covid times. I have to "show my papers" before I can check my luggage. I have to "show my papers" to get thru security to the waiting area. I have to "show my papers" to board the plane. If it's an international flight, I have to "show my papers" to get thru passport control. I have to "show my papers" to pick up my rental car. If "show my papers" is your big objection, it's been that way for a very long time and there is nothing new about it.

@silkydrawers

Ok, so what your saying is I should get vaccinated to protect those who have been vaccinated because the vacine doesn't really work

FALSE!!! For millions of Americans, NO vaccine works very well, because their immune systems don't work very well. They might be transplant patients on immuno-suppressants. They might just have weak immune systems. No vaccine is 100% effective, because the only thing a vaccine can do is stimulate the immune system to build a defense, and millions of Americans have immune systems that can't do that adequately.

We eradicated smallpox with vaccine that's 95% effective after 2 doses and needs a booster every 3 years. The Gates foundation was well on the way to eradicating polio with a vaccine that's 90% effective after 2 doses. Covid vaccines have safety and efficacy very similar to historically effective vaccines. The only thing different about Covid vaccines is that right-wingers decided to politicize it, even though it's to their own detriment.

but that went out when the Nazis were defeated.

I get it - every time someone disagrees with you, you compare them to Nazis. I invoke Godwin's Law.

FALSE!!!

you and your narcissistic self righteous attitude again. As if anyone is going to take a South Park character as a Profile pic seriously. @ElwoodBlues

ElwoodBlues · M

@BalladOfADeadSoulja LOL!!! You stopped engaging the facts of this debate days ago - all you've got left is lousy attempts at being an insult comic.

@ElwoodBlues there is no reasoning with him but I applaud the efforts you have taken.

BalladOfADeadSoulja

@ElwoodBlues @iamonfire696who I am towards another depends on their attitude. I ain’t sugar coating shit for no ones magical unicorn land.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@BalladOfADeadSoulja resorting to insults doesn’t make you look smart. Try giving your POV without that.

BalladOfADeadSoulja

@iamonfire696 yeah but like I said it’s attitude. Works both ways. That’s life!

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@BalladOfADeadSoulja he didn’t insult you though….

ElwoodBlues · M

@BalladOfADeadSoulja

who I am towards another depends on their attitude.

I get it - you hold other people responsible for your behavior! since you are the one tossing out fancy psychology labels why don't you tell us what that's characteristic of?

BalladOfADeadSoulja

@iamonfire696 he has before in my old account, and it’s the self righteous attitude I don’t appreciate and him bullying other people and screenshooting other users and putting it in his photo album.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@BalladOfADeadSoulja you are spreading misinformation and lies. What do you expect?

BalladOfADeadSoulja

@ElwoodBlues oh your self righteous narcissistic attitude again. Trolls entertain me, but you’re as exciting as watching paint dry and hearing a tap drip all day. I’m happy to waste my block on you. You’re really boring me now.

BalladOfADeadSoulja

@iamonfire696 darl, maybe if you didn’t have your cleavage as your profile pic. (Just as bad as blokes flashing their 8 day barbers in here)🤮🤮 People would take your misinformation more seriously.
Blocked too.

@BalladOfADeadSoulja you think your ranting is taken serious?
