Are you seriously arguing that vaccines don't work?
The reality is, of course, an extremely boring public health campain. Plenty of people just opted out.
Top google search, but I suggest you look into this more, since your perspective is far disconnected from reality: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/24/1047947268/covid-vaccine-work...
Your original portrayal remains exaggerated.
Your misrepresentation deserves attention as well. Weasel arguments like this are so annoying to observe.
'Be the whole bitch.' I want you to realize you were on shit ground to begin with. The wrong person getting your ire is a distraction.
You went off on the slightest bit of hyperbole. The claim wasn't wrong, people were forced by the government and their employers to comply.
If you didn't want to suddenly risk your life being turned over, you had to participate in a grand social experiment. Individual risk assessment be damned.
Every reader deserves an apology for you, and now, me.
I'll close with an anecdote, why I care so much. I'm the un-monitored control group. I had absolutely no risk to the disease. Young, able bodied, living/working remotely in the woods for years.
Yet, to maintain employment and frankly, my standard of living, I had to endure additional risk. Because someone else has risk? How did this help?
To be direct: I don't generally go out and do things. I sleep, work, and pay. Complete subsistence.
My frustration comes from the imposition when I've already moved myself so far away, in every sense.
To be sporting I contracted it/recovered before the vaccine. As you can probably tell, I'm not worried about my own outcome. It wasn't that bad.
I could've handled the immaculate infection received in isolation. Without that, and being pulled back into society for the jab, I couldn't have infected anyone.
The point is plenty of us couldn't opt out, when really, we could - with the powers that be having the slightest bit of grace, tact, or whatever.
That's the problem. It was ham-fisted. That's politics. Once objectified, reason went out the window. End of.
An excellent case for the road to hell being paved with good intentions. This isn't singular; others and myself have all told 'nitwit005' similar stories.
Personally, I was lucky enough to have a job which did not require vaccination, and I was able to avoid anything that required a vaccination card up until restrictions were lifted. I'm grateful the "vaccine passport" was never brought to fruition during this period of time. I think they realized they pushed too hard with that one and pulled back. I suspect they'll try again eventually though.
The last time humanity forced something like that, the world later came together and executed those in charge. And I'll never stop being furious that this is now being swept under the rug. Inhuman crimes happened
I'm pretty sure I test my software more than they tested that particular vaccine before deployment, and I personally don't like the idea of being a guinea pig.
