Poll of the Day > Which do you think will happen first?

(+) Yeah! (+)

*Specifically referring to unvaccinated with respect to Covid

I'm expecting #4 or #5 by the end of the year (insurance consequences). On the fence about school, that probably won't take effect until after winter break to allow for the transition. And that's for high school only, K-8 probably not until the following school year.

Hopefully forced vaccination.

True. I'd be flipping in my grave if people misattributed my work to sensible policy too.

We can only hope people come to their senses and stop comparing life-saving minimally invasive medical interventions to totalitarian surveillance.

Yeah, wat a terrifying disease that only 99.8% of us would survive. Without the historically benevolent giant pharmaceutical companys who always have our best interests in mind, how would we as the human race ever survive?! Wont someone please think of the children who are all but immune, cuz the fuckin sky is falling

Even with those odds, you'd have to have a pretty piss-poor understanding of the relative risk-to-benefit to still refuse a vaccine that's already been paid for. Or have a predisposition for paranoid delusions, which I'd feel sorry for you more than anything, being (relatively) neurotypical myself.

Of course that's completely ignoring you being a potential vector that results in harm to others, but at the rate covid is going we can expect virtually everyone to contract it at least once eventually. If unvaccinated people weren't clogging up hospitals and reducing quality of care for others, there might be a point there.

You already need vaccines for school.

Yes, context would suggest we're talking about covid, but I could have been more specific

He probably is. He'd be absolutely pissed about all those gay people running around and not being punished for it.

All of the above hopefully.

Other: The world will realise they are using the fear of covid to control people and eliminate personal freedom.

I've mostly only heard about staff vaccine requirements. What places have student requirements? (As it's not approved for children yet)

I've already heard about the idea of charging the unvaxxed more for health insurance.. but it wouldnt surprise me if the airlines jumped in first with a proof of vaccination to fly

No way in hell it will happen for K-8 until next school year.

""I can't imagine that we'd be in a position to even consider how to use these vaccines until the very end of the calendar year of 2021, going into the first quarter of 2022," said Dr. Buddy Creech, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University and one of the lead investigators for Moderna's pediatric Covid-19 vaccine."
