The Vaccine

Sorry Bro I have not lived in a fantasy world since I got out of basic training in the 70's and wound up in Central America chasing Sandinista around with the contra's while our Government was selling arms to Ayatollah Khomein.

Called me whatever you like but I am pretty sure I have a grasp on how Government really works.

You went to basic in the 70’s and just called me bro?!

I wasn’t calling you anything. Why do you always jump to that? Don’t be so defensive, bro ;)

Thanks for serving.
 
You could say the same for year 5 and 10. How long before you are confident it is "Safe enough" to mandate, say as we demand Polio and Measles vaccines today?

Fear of the unknown is a reasonable position, and one of the struggles of increasing vaccination rates. (I'm afraid we don't know what we don't know - Hard to argue against, except for that the vaccines normally in the past wear out, so any BAD things in the past appears early and up front.... but how do I prove you will not turn into a pumpkin in 2030 after vaccination? It's impossible to prove a negative without a time machine, so you are entitled to your concern about the unknown.) - The challenge is that NOT vaccinating is also an active choice, and so far based on DEATH data I think it's the right choice to vaccinate.

For me, 1-2 years (did I mention I'm not against this vaccine). To force/mandate someone to inject something that is not 100% safe, there is no length of time that is ok, especially in the case of a vaccine that may or may not prevent something you may or may not get.

So the private employers are unable to demand the employee vaccinate? That will be tough argument. In Texas you are employed at will. Even if you "BAN" mandates you can be fired for any or no reason. Not sure you can legislate that.


In the case of corporations, I'm not saying you can legislate this - just that I think its very wrong - in fact I think government (especially federal government) should stay the hell out of it. Private employers can do what they want - even if I disagree with it. I do think that governement should stay out of it and this OSHA end-around effort is disgusting and has without a doubt embolden corporations to institute mandates they would not have risked wading into otherwise IMO.

Call everybody bro didn’t realize it’s an offensive term. My apologies.

By the way the term is shorthand for brother in my world.
 
That was exactly my point and thank you for making it for me.

You haven't proved anything, other than you are prone to believing in conspiracy theories.

If you can show (this is a pretty low bar to meet) that Gottlieb did see something improper, show us. Otherwise, it is just a figment of your imagination.

Beginning to think you are a figment of my imagination.
Don’t agree with something somebody says: conspiracy theorist that works good job thank you very much I wear that badge of honor since you gave it to me.

You don’t really think Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy do you.
You don’t believe that aliens are anally penetrating good citizens of the earth shame on you
What about the moon landing huh what about that.

Gotta go now almost crashed into a tree on that last sentence.

Geez, first there was the question if I was a bot, now maybe I'm a figment of your imagination! :p

It's a good thing I'm secure in knowing I'm a real person! ?

Just having fun, stay safe no matter how you chose to do so.

My wife's stepmother once told me she believed that Dinosaur bones were placed in the ground by the devil to deceive us. I said, we should move on to other topics since we didn't have the basis for a discussion in this one.

I'm flattered...truly. Feel free to push it for me. It may help assuage some of the anger bubbling up through your posts.

Watch the movie "Free Guy".....perhaps you are an NPC?

@Lurch delighted to do that for you.

I had to find a trailer on-line, as I haven't yet seen one. It looks like a fun movie, I'll definately put it on our watch list! :winkingthumbsup"

Wow, 151 pages on this subject. I am in shock.

I have been telling my kids, you never talk about politics and religion in a public setting (or at our dining room table). I have added vaccine to that list....so politics, religion, and the vaccine are off limits in a public setting.

It’s not all vaccine. Like 50 pages of it are people bitching @Bruce & @Julian.
We talked about whiskey yesterday too.

These things should be talked about at the dining room table or your kids won’t know how to talk about them with strangers and they’ll end up raging about it on some Internet forum about boats.

I was looking for the dumpster fire reaction button, but did not see it. It's one of those nuclear topics.
 
JBP vs Cobra?? I am not sure what that is. I'm new here. Can someone explain....and let me know which one is better. lol.

How did I miss the whiskey conversation? Dang. We used to have a Whiskey of the Month. Just a group of guys who got together in a garage and we tried a bunch of different whiskeys. It was actually pretty cool. Got to taste alot of whiskey I would have never bought myself.

Surprised we don't have a "Where's Brian Laundrie" post. I would think everyone has a theory on that one.
