      well I can’t speak for “they” but the argument I heard the most was, not being forced to take a medical procedure, it’s actually very simple.

      I took the Covid shoot, twice BTW

        and that argument is dumb because they aren’t being forced to take anything, they just can’t force other people to be around them if they want to spread disease everywhere.

          lol the Covid shot doesn’t stop the spread, and firing people if they didn’t take a medical procedure or not letting them participate in society is very Soviet Union of them.

            And the flu shot doesn’t stop the spread of the flu… Because that’s not the point of the flu shot.

            The whole point was to lessen the transmission rate and to reduce the severity of the illness. Which the COVID vaccine did very well, especially in at-risk communities.

            firing people if they didn’t take a medical procedure or not letting them participate in society is very Soviet Union of them.

            You know we’ve been doing that since polio… Right? You can’t get into public schools without immunization paperwork. The only reason you have an opinion about vaccines is because the GOP told you what opinion you should have.

              the GOP? I’m a registered Democrat, the Polio vaccine argument is so tired

              the Covid shot is not a vaccine, big pharma and politicians hood winked Americans.

              Big pharma is not your friend

                I’m a registered Democrat,

                Do you think falling for gop propaganda as a liberal makes you sound any smarter?

                Polio vaccine argument is so tired

                Solid rebuttal… Guys, if you don’t have an answer to a question you can just say it’s tired!

                the Covid shot is not a vaccine, big pharma and politicians hood winked Americans.

                Ahh, a man of words and science! Please tell me, what great place of learning taught you this medical wisdom?

                Big pharma is not your friend

                Never said it was?

          you should first understand the conservatives argument, I used to be ignorant just like yourself, I stopped talking and started listening, you should try it

            And… What is the conservative argument? That we shouldn’t have to submit to something as unremarkable as a vaccine, even for the sake of the safety of our fellow citizens?

            Does that thought also apply to the draft? Should I have to defend my fellow countrymen if we are attacked? What if I don’t believe defending my country would benefit me personally?

            The reason people like you talk in smug platitudes is because there is no consistency in your ideology. You just mouth off generalities and then insults when pressed about the massive amounts of cognitive dissonance you point of view rest upon.

            I stopped talking and started listening

            Lol, this is your version of “stopped talking”? How about you go ahead and practice that aspect just a little harder?
