That's not happening in the US. Calm down, count to twenty, and discuss some actual issues.

Neverthess, businesses have the right to do so, whether they choose to exercise it or not.
Intelligent medical concern, or the paranoid rantings of people who got their pharmaceutical certification from the University of Facebook?
The law protects -- and has always protected -- such people, within reason, of course.
If you have a medical exemption, you need to provide documentation from a doctor -- a real doctor; not Phil, Oz, or Seuss.
If you have a religious exemption, you're going to need to cite chapter and verse.
Some people cite religious exemptions to certain vaccines because they were made with fetal stem cells, which goes against their pro-life views. Fair enough, but none of the Covid vaccines use them, so that exemption won't wash.
That's nice. Might I suggest you write your congressperson to change the laws, then?
There’s plenty more all you have to do is use your Internet search engine.
Basically your position is that the vaccine should be mandatory, and exceptions are technically allowed but won’t be granted in reality.
How are you going to enforce your diktat? What type of pogrom will you create to root out the unwilling? Ban people from participating in commerce unless they have the proper papers, or mark of obedience?
Or will you mark those who are not vaccinated, maybe with a yellow patch on their clothes?
That’s the logical approach to your diktat.
Because of basic herd immunity as a principle for reducing spread and all but eliminating the risks of a pandemic with viral variants and mutations. This shouldn't be, "I've got mine, everyone else is on their own," unless you're a sociopath that doesn't care about others except as they can benefit you. The cliche of "we're all in this together," is apt and appropriate, because this is about a common good, not just what is good for individuals.I have trouble understanding that if a person is vaccinated, why the insistence that everyone also get vaccinated? Relax! You've positioned yourself for good health and joy. Be at peace!
So your opinions are more important because you want to downplay something that you have an opinion about it not being so bad? Weird...seems like a "do as I say, not as I do," situationNor are the opinions of those who want to maintain this bogus panic, evidence.
we ALL can get vaccinated to care for the weak & save lives
It's the good old cherry picking fallacy to act like because this one vaccine had problems that you can't trust any, yet I'd bet money they have childhood vaccines that by their logic are also dangerous yet...no problems, so...guess their argument has no real merit given that they're finding the confirmation to their preconception and not considering that the exception is not the ruleIs anyone advocating this vaccine for covid? Not sure why you'd bring it up.
Wow, need WAY more straw to fill this effigy you're making, as if anyone is claiming that: the flagrant lying you're doing is embarrassing.So just torture them into submission? Just kill them if they won’t do what you want them to do? Because that’s what you and others are proposing.
The Great Barrington Statement or such comes to mind, a borderline sociopathic justification to get back to "normal"I don't know, some people might think that a vastly higher death rate for getting natural immunity would matter.
Who started the politicizing here? Pretty sure it wasn't the Democrats nearly as much as Republicans and "independents" who wanted to claim anyone that wasn't in their preferred sphere of "experts" must be lying to them.You ignore the unknown nature and risk of the vaccine. A vax that has been out less than 1 year, uses new tech never before used in humans or on any large population. And is highly politicized.
You have the science, I don't?So your opinions are more important because you want to downplay something that you have an opinion about it not being so bad? Weird...seems like a "do as I say, not as I do," situation
("For the first time in human history those who exhibit no symptoms can transmit a disease to those innoculated against it.").
It's a quote, and a pretty funny one at that. It is meant to point out the ridiculousness of the situation in which we find ourselves.no, not first time in history!
ever had the flu shot? did they tell you it's 100% effective?
absolutely not, in fact the flu shot has a pretty poor protection most years
the delta virus has a high viral load
the covid vaccines are highly protective against hospitalizations & death
if a vaccinated person gets virus, they mostly likely won't be stuck with $40,000 medical bill nor end up on a ventilator
I could make up such a saying from what you just said: "So we are now innoculating against hospitals and death." See what I mean about how the narrative is just ...weird?
another heartbreaking story
The mother of a college student who died 'screaming through the mask' wished she had made her get the COVID-19 vaccine
"A memory her mother can’t get out of her head - her daughter screaming after the doctors told her she needed to be on a ventilator."
You hear what fits your preconceptions and don't challenge thatYou have the science, I don't?
I keep hearing the shaming, the power plays, the political correctness, the threats, but not the science. The science I do hear from the left keeps changing and making no sense. ("For the first time in human history those who exhibit no symptoms can transmit a disease to those innoculated against it.")
The science I hear from the right keeps getting shouted down and otherwise squelched or ignored. And I can't begin to tell you the data from the left that sounds all wrong, not to mention the early directives on reporting. The ONLY thing about this from the left that I believe is that there is indeed a Covid 19. What I hear from the right isn't much better, as far as the Covid, but there is a lot of other I hear from the right that does make sense: Don't trust the left, don't trust the governors, don't trust the agencies. Don't believe Congress or the Press. The current force of Government activity does not have our best interests in mind.
You don't inoculate against death, that is an inevitability even if you are protected against virtually all diseases, hospitalization and death from that is avoidable with the following of reasonable medical advice, which includes wearing masks in public areas of high traffic during an epidemic of this highly transmittable virus and getting vaccinatedIt's a quote, and a pretty funny one at that. It is meant to point out the ridiculousness of the situation in which we find ourselves.
