  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And some of the unvaccinated being fired for that decision.

People used to get fired from Disneyland for growing a mustache. Welcome to capitalism. Is this your first visit?

Oh so some are choosing to mistrust?
Choosing to live outside reality.

I can only draw conclusions based on what anti-vaxxers "choose" to post.

You are right, Those you trust are right. All those who disagree are merely choosing to deny your facts. Those that mistrust, are liars. Don't even allow them their facts in a discussion forum. We all know they are speaking untruths.
I guess if there were actual facts supporting anti-vaxx propaganda I wouldn't be reading empty rhetoric such as this.

There are facts as good as yours. All the dishonesty that has gone on, hypocrisy etc. Leaves for nobodies facts meaning anything to the other side of the opinion and judgement process concerning their own health.

No, facts are what we call objective things. They do not differ from person to person. Facts are statements that are in accord with reality.
The reality is this health crisis has been politicized. That's the hard truth, and that's the entire shame of it. There are no facts to be trusted when that happens. Now it appears all that's left to do, is to continue the name calling and shaming. Making it even worse.

I admire anyone who has the guts to stand their ground in this world filled with man-pleasers.
When standing your ground could very easily kill other people?

Odd take.

Politicizing this is killing people. It has made them mistrust everything. That will kill them just the same. So I don't see your higher moral ground at all.

No, the unvaccinated are a health risk to themselves. You all just say it's ok for them to be fired if their Employer desires.

The state law says it is okay for them to be fired for any legal reason or without a reason given at all. Republican majority state equals fewer government oversights, means fewer regulations over businesses etc.....

An unvaccinated nurse/doctor/lab tech etc is also a risk to an already immune-compromised person in that hospital that cannot get the vaccine. That immune-compromised person can neither choose to not be in the hospital or to be vaccinated. They are at the mercy of the medical staff and hospital policies. If it were just about them being a risk to themselves, the hospital would not fire them most likely.

Politicize it! Let no disaster go to waste.

Politicizing kills people too. Who on the other side is gonna listen to you? It's already been politicized. There are already doctors on the news which have spoken concerning things on both sides. Medicine has been politicized that kills people too.

Incorrect.

Are you, like others, intentionally trying to deceive readers? If you have been reading, you will know that the argument is that the unvaccinated workers pose a health threat. You are misrepresenting us by casting us in the position of being in favour of arbitrary dismissal of health care workers.

You are confused. I did not reply to you. I replied to someone else with two words, from which you fabricated the above. Please refrain from including me in your judgmental screeds.

It's your choice to believe x political message.
It's your choice to trust your doctor.
It's your choice to trust any professional for advice.

Well, that could end up being the choice to struggle to put a roof over your head (and kids), or food on the table, etc. let alone send them to college, or have medical for yourself. And the therapeutics in some cases were made illegal, despite those drugs safely being used for years.

Hey, the antivaxxers are not a protected class under EEOC or ADA. They can be legally discriminated against.

It's your choice to have your kids vaccinated (which is free). You ultimately bear responsibility for the information you choose to believe....and live (or die) with the consequences.

You don't have the choice to endanger others. Your freedom ends where my well being begins. If I were undergoing cancer treatment (immune comprised), I certainly don't want an unvaccinated health worker in the same room.

Again the same thing.

nobody does. Except those which force vaccines.

Ditto again.

That can be done, you have the choice.

It certainly is a shame. But people like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins have been presenting a consistent scientific and medical message across both the Trump and the Biden administrations. The facts have not really been at issue. It has been politicians who don't listen to the experts and their analysis of the facts.
