Covid almost killed my brother and he's still too goddamn dumb to get it. The other brother SAW him in the hospital crying and on a respirator and he still hasn't gotten it either. I'm getting my 4th dose July 11th.

"Arencha scurred tha vaccine will hurtcha?"

Mfer I'd rather have whatever they vax is gonna give me than Covid. We all 3 have the same bloodtype too.

You can't fix that kinda stupid. Both of them are 45 and 46 too.

I had COVID before the vaccines and it was a 6 week long nightmare. I got the vaccines and it was three days of cold like symptoms.

One of these things is not like the others lol

Pretty much. Is there a chance the vaccine will cause problems? Absolutely. Is that chance orders of magnitude lower than that of the same or worse problems being caused by Covid? Also yes. It's a very, easy easy risk analysis that so many people are failing so spectacularly at.

I'm fine with that. I actually feel like there should probably be even more punitive or preventative penalties for people who refuse to get vaccinated. I'm cool with sporting events or other large gatherings requiring people to show proof of vax to enter (with severe criminal penalties for falsifying vaccination cards), with schools requiring kids to have specific vaccines in order to attend (which they've already done for the entirety of my life), or even travel restrictions on the unvaccinated.

As for docking pay specifically, that's potentially even more justified. Assuming the employers are providing health insurance for employees, they may be being forced to pay more for anyone who isn't vaxxed (because insurance companies tend to up rates for obvious health risks). So it might just be a case of them passing the premiums on to the employee because the employee is the one creating the problem in the first place.

People complain about their freedoms, but they forget that freedom of choice goes hand in hand with accepting the consequences of your actions. Everyone today wants all the benefits of life but none of the consequences. Some people need to get smashed really hard in the dick by consequences. Maybe they'd actually wind up being better people for it.

This is basically what I say.

You can complain about the potential side-effects of the vaccine all you want (or even the hypothetical side-effects of the vaccine you're worried about in spite of evidence telling you you're wrong), but considering the potential side-effects of Covid include long-term organ damage and literal death, the potential side-effects of Covid are way more significant than the potential side-effects of any vaccine. And since the vaccine reduces the severity of Covid even in cases where it can't prevent it completely, it makes getting vaccinated the better choice by any rational cost/benefit analysis. So you can kind of shut the hell up, get vaxxed or get fucked.

The whole mess basically boils down to being yet another example of the root cause of most problems in the world - "People are stupid." Which goes hand in hand with my other maxim - "People suck."

To be fair, I'm probably more on the intolerant right and I still think people who put other people's health at risk solely because they're selfish assholes should be set on fire.

It's part of why I've always leaned more towards small government libertarianism than no-government libertarianism - because sometimes you need a government that can step in and punch faces when people are being shits. Which people usually are, because people suck.

I work with a company that works directly with the DoJ. My company sent out an email when the government was floating the idea to make it required that pretty much vaguely said, get vaxxed and upload proof or look for another job.

I like breaking out the "freedom isn't free" line whenever people whine about that. They tend to be the military-humping type, so that gets them extra hot and bothered. I guess they only want other people to make sacrifices for the sake of freedom instead of making a couple (of incredibly trivial) sacrifices themselves.

Are you volunteering to lead the unvaccinated out of America? Because I don't think anyone would actually mind that.

There's ample precedent for firing people for failing to meet required vaccination standards, which in turn is a subset of the even larger suite of precedent for firing people for failing to follow OHS regulations like wearing PPE. The lawsuits would still happen and be a hassle for everyone, but it's unlikely that they'd end in favour of the rats.

That's pretty typical for most businesses in the US/Canada. Exceptions exist, like my girlfriend's last job paid her in advance for each month (so her last paycheque came a month before she stopped working there), but biweekly pay is the norm.

But that means you missed his deeply insightful comment likening the unvaccinated to the Jews in Egypt! How can you possibly go on with your life knowing that you didn't get to see such quality content as that?
