Replying to @WiryRed_Dragon When I said “you” I was referring to a general person making these types of choices, not you specifically. I’m glad you’re fully vaccinated, I hope you and yours stay safe during the rest of this pandemic, however long it is. (original) 01-28

Replying to @JPFabricate That’s not how this works. Take seatbelts. If seatbelts don’t prevent people from dying they’re worthless. In fact, did you know that most people who die in car accidents were wearing their seatbelt. (original) 01-28

Replying to @JPFabricate The vaccine is primarily to stop hospitalization and death. Stopping transmission will likely be a more difficult task. As far as the Canadian numbers go, of course the majority of new cases are vaccinated, it’s a much larger portion of the population, 80%! (original) 01-27

Replying to @WiryRed_Dragon Didn’t say it would be easy, but you can do it. You can choose to home school your children and not vaccinate them against measles, but you’re not forced to vaccinate. You could get a job where you work from home, order food to be delivered. It isn’t easy, but it’s possible. (original) 01-27

Replying to @JPFabricate Unfortunately, in this case others’ decisions effect more than just themselves. This is why it’s called public health and not personal health. Part of the reason the deaths are distributed the way they are in Canada is because of the high vaccination rate. (original) 01-27

Replying to @WiryRed_Dragon No one is being forced certain activities will just require it. Kids can’t go to school without being vaccinated against measles but they’re not forced. (original) 01-27

Replying to @WiryRed_Dragon I’m not sure how it’s experimental it went through the same process as any other vaccine. It was never meant to stop someone from getting covid, it was to stop hospitalization and death. (original) 01-27

Replying to @JPFabricate I’ll get as many vaccines as necessary. Shutdowns and closures do nothing to help the government, so I’m not sure why anyone would think governments want them. The restrictions are in place to stop the spread of a deadly airborne virus. (original) 01-27

Replying to @WiryRed_Dragon I didn’t, but then, there wasn’t some fringe group trying to gather support around a ridiculous position. I want those who did the right thing that I appreciate them. (original) 01-27

Replying to @JPFabricate The unvaccinated are shutting things down. Vaccine mandates aren’t required if everyone did their part and got vaccinated. Shutdowns would end if everyone got vaccinated to slow down this virus. (original) 01-27
