@earl-of-trumps saidBut Sh believes you should have proof of being vaccinated before you can buy food.
Stop being sensible!
@metal-brain saidWas forced to take the Swine Flu vaccination in USNavy boot camp in 76. Was sick as a dog for a week. Never again.
Vaccines are not without controversy.

Why would you want to pin your hopes on a vaccine rush job?

@eladar saidWhy would people who have been vaccinated be afraid of people who were not?
I asked if you believed the same is true for stores. You never replied so.assumed your beliefs are consistent.
Private store owners should be able to demand proof of vaccine, or do you make an exception for stores?
I don't get this.

@earl-of-trumps saidI know, you get a vaccine and you are safe from getting sick, or if you do get sick it is not a bad case.
Why would people who have been vaccinated be afraid of people who were not?
I don't get this.
But Sh is all about the authoritarian state.
@eladar saidUnlike you, I believe in the free market.

If stores want to require masks, they should be able to. If they want to deny anti-vaxxers to keep their customers safe, they also should be able to. If they want to make an exception for people who have tested positive for antibodies, that's fine too.
The free market will develop solutions for anti-vaxxer nut jobs to kill each other if there's a market for it. I'm sure anti-vaxxer supermarkets will spring up in no time, so you and MB can go shopping without having to inject your body with antibodies that fight deadly diseases.
The invisible hand indeed.

@earl-of-trumps saidFirst, it's unlikely that the vaccine will be 100% effective.
Why would people who have been vaccinated be afraid of people who were not?
I don't get this.
Say it's 50% effective. If one person is vaccinated, that's double the risk as opposed to if both are vaccinated.
Second, some people may not be able to be vaccinated due to other health conditions.

@sh76 saidAfter reading the deranged comments in this thread, are you still doubting the 26% figure?

@metal-brain saidIt is really bizarre to see the two biggest proponents of allowing COVID to roam unchecked through the population in order to achieve "natural" herd immunity (a process implying acceptance of hundreds of thousands or even millions of deaths) accuse others of having a secret, nefarious plot to "depopulate" the world.
Yes, they know it is either a UBI or depopulation. Naturally they would rather not feed useless eaters. They may also have concluded we have enough people and there is little advantage to having more. There has not been much progress in physics for nearly one hundred years, for example. Most of the known problems have already been solved and it is only new technology that ...[text shortened]... rontline/shows/plague/sa/

@kazetnagorra saidFull disclosure: I did meet my first real-life Gates conspiracy theorist yesterday (wife of a good friend of mine, actually). Apparently, there's some grainy Youtube video floating around in the "Loose Change" tradition that's spreading this malignant nonsense.

@sh76 saidOne was raving at an attendant in a convenience store I was at yesterday (sans mask naturally). A "Plan-demic" was a nice rhetorical touch.

@sh76 saidActually, I agree with you. It is what the Constitution says and the Civil rights laws that take away those rights is unconstitutional.
