Vaccines should not be mandated, but those who refuse vaccination have a responsibility to isolate themselves to protect others.

He's catching hell on the Twitter, but I think he's essentially correct in an anarchist sense. No one should be forced, however, it's completely appropriate for the community such as it is to require such a thing as a condition of participation in order to protect the collective population.

Back from a week of travel and I see we're still beating the same ol drum, huh Rusty?

So the vaccinated are also scared of negative tests and natural immunities?

Any requirements for number of booster shots, too?

And once again, please explain to me the logic of being vaccinated, but still scared of those that aren't.....

Chomsky's comments were trending today, so...

If you've got a problem with it, you'll be in agreement with most of left wing twitter.

My position has been pretty consistent, I support the right to not get vaccinated, you just aren't welcome at my home or workplace. Proof of vaccination required.

Must have papers, huh Rusty?

Have you decided on a requirement for number of booster shots required, too?

In order to get into the "Fox Patriot Awards" you need to show either a vaccine card or a negative test within the previous 72 hours at the mandatory check point. And that's in Floriduh even.

Notice the allowance of a negative test? That's the big difference. Cool story, though.

Speaking of Floriduh, how are we currently staking up to the rest of the nation? Specifically the states/cities that are still masked up and somewhat locked down?

Glad you liked the story. A required negative 72 hr. test result isn't considered "papers"? Go figure.

As for Floriduh - Florida suffered the most deaths overall and per-capita during the summer surge. 738 here in Brevard. Probably helped clean out the shallow end of the gene pool, though.

People bucking the governor on safety protocols helped dampen the surge. Wonder how Thanksgiving - Christmas will work out? Masks are coming off again.

...

I'm going to get a booster, just haven't decided if I should go with more Moderna, or mix it up with a shot of Pfizer.

T'is nice being on the higher end of the gene pool. Said it from the get go that I had nothing to worry about. The shallow end was sure nervous, weren't they? Guess they had reason, huh?

I :heart; Q

Agree fully with Chomsky's take - as usual.. Notice how little you see him ony any mainstream media.. 'Democracy Now' is one of the few that you see him on - and they are def not 'mainstream'...

When someones 'freedoms', and irresponsibility. infringe literally or threaten someones life, their 'right' to 'freedom' comes to an end.. That's why we have 'laws' against drunk or reckless driving etc etc etc.. It's called 'civilized society'..

Ever see Chomsky on CNN, MSNBC etc - once I think... ? faux, aon - Don't hold your breath..

Yep tpap, lot's in the shallow end of the pool paid the ultimate price with their stupidity not to get the jab,,

Choices choices - or maybe no more .............

Just a friendly reminder this disease has over a 98.5% survival rate, even more so if you're under 65. And....the beauty is....if you don't want to take that chance you can get vaccinated to protect yourself.

Which makes me pose the question....again.....why are you scared of the unvaxed if you are vaccinated yourself?

That stupid question, again... ?

Yep, the one that no one answers with any semblance of logic. Here, I'll lay it out for you again

I rather not take the 1.5% chance of death with Covid, so I will get vaccinated to protect myself

OK, fair enough.
Logic breaks down the second you start assuming, blaming, or being fearful for your own protection if other people are not vaccinated. Why? Because following the logic, that means you're afraid the vaccine doesn't work.

Which brings us full circle again of you snarking at people for not taking a vaccine that according to your logic, as evident by your fears, doesn't work anyways.


So again, tell me why if your are vaccinated, you are fearful of the ones that aren't? Using Florida as an example, where we were open and free, did the hospitals ever get fully overwhelmed? Did those ice trucks actually get filled with all these dead bodies from Covid? Did we run out of water like Scom was so fearful of? Or was that all media driven propaganda induced fear? Looking at our numbers now, it seems that its run its course and our numbers are now one of the best in the country. So again, where is all this fear, angst, and prejudice against the unvaccinated coming from? I know the answer.....but don't think you're willing to admit it....

I think everyone has decided they've spent enough time and effort trying to help you understand how this works. You don't seem to be capable of anything more complex than binary understanding.

Show me where this question has been answered, Rusty. Answered without holes in the logic being presented.
