I said in my last post that we'll essentially have to agree to disagree.

You can say whatever you want about me, but I'm making a choice of not being vaccinated after weighing my risks given my own personal circumstances and my own personal views.

You cannot say unequivocally that this vaccine will not harm me now or in the future. This is my choice. Please leave people alone and if you don't want the mandates anymore, vote differently in the future.

A year and a half into this and you're still on the "worry about yourself" bullshit. We all have to sacrifice our personal views when we start interacting with each other. Your views are not more important than someone else's health.

Also newsflash: nothing is guaranteed to not harm you, but we'd all be shitting on the floor and dying at 35 if we had this mindset about modern medicine. There are risk you are forced to endure every day to ensure both your life and the continued operation of society. But suddenly everyone is a fucking rebel and will literally piss down your throat if you tell them not to.

Ah, well I'm sure if you did, you'd all get along great.

Based on what exactly?

He's not gonna respond. He's happy to sit in his mind and not give a shit about other people.

Is that happening? If I show up with a life threatening situation or emergency, am I not going to be accommodated? Is there documentation showing that happened in the past or is happening now?

A friend of mine had a minor stroke recently and had to wait in in a hall bed for nearly an hour because their hospital was so busy with COVID patients.

Eventually her boyfriend got fed up and drove her down to a hospital in Massachusetts to be seen more quickly.

If you know anything about cerebrovascular injuries, getting treatment ASAP is key to preventing long-term damage/effects.
She now has to be on daily meds for anti-vertigo as a result.

Jesus Christ that's awful. My dad had a full CVA stroke and I have intermittent positional vertigo, and to have both....

I'm so sorry
