Current Events > How has the response to Covid affected how you view other people?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's shown me that a lot of people's brains are "straight up broke" to use a medical term. We have people refusing to wear a piece of cloth over their nose and mouth. Refusing to get a free medical miracle vaccine that people are begging for and dying without because it's "experimental" or "has microchips" or something similar. People attempting to claim the right to act as plague vectors without other people commenting or restricting them in any way.

Just the extreme selfishness and pathological levels of individualistic thinking. So many people thinking that a "right" or "choice" means that what they do doesn't affect others and no one else has an interest in it.

I will never see a lot of people the same after this.

Thered be zero reason to not take a vaccine if the manufacturers were held liable on the off chance negative side effects occur

People have come up with endless, ever shifting reasons not to take the vaccine. This is just one of many.

My understanding is that you can't sue vaccine manufacturers in general for any of the vaccines we take, and that hasn't been a problem. I personally think that people should be allowed to sue them, but the reality is that 99.999999% of those lawsuits would be expensive show trials where anti-vaxxers made false or unverifiable claims.

If someone really feels and can prove their injury was caused by an unsafe vaccine, there's a no-fault process for compensation as well.

This isn't even the reason most people cite though and it's not a good reason even if it was.

That we're doomed.

Not really. The general populace responded about as I expected. It was the first two years of the Trump admin that built that expectation.

None really

Edit: I guess I am amazed how many people think anyone should really care about their opinion

There's been an increase in the number of people that think Trudeau is a fascist, communist dictator but is really odd considering he has a minority government and can barely pass legislation without the help of either the NDP or BQ.

Bit weird.

Not really, always knew humanity is fucking stupid.

we should be able to sue. If anti vaxxers want to lie/waste everybodys time, theyll be proven wrong in a court of law and prosecuted accordingly. Itd be silly to think that nothing the pharmaceutical industry has ever put out ever faced a recall for whatever reason. A little accountability would go a long way. If a model of vehicle i was interested in had even less than 100 incidents, id feel a lot more confident in purchasing it as the manufacturer would be liable. This is the only legitimate concern i hear irl in my day to day. Key word: legitimate. All the other conspiracy loons online are hopeless, if were lucky theyll all die off pretty soon.

Fuck off, i already am. Stop insinuating that anybody who criticizes the lack of accountability means that theyre anti vax

the vaccine has been tested many many times.

worse case scenario is some blood clots with the J&J (heavily skewed towards women).
maybe heart issues with moderna/pfizer (doesn't' happen often) only temporary.

covid does worse damage than what the vaccine would do.
