This shot is the issue that we are going to use to dig our heels in and make our stand; to define our ideals on personal choice, our perception of freedom, our privacy, our individualism, our social policy, our vanishing free market economy, supercharge divisive politics, and feed politicians with egos? In my mind all the hype is misguided nonsense. Covid is real, the science is sound, the shot is unlikely to hurt you, you might still catch it but won't get as sick - or maybe you will - no guarantees in life right? I know this shot was less risky than me trying to clear a peaky double.
It is an easy target that distracts us while one party spends and social entitles future generations into bleakness and hands all this country has sacrificed for over to Socialism.
I can think of so many other ways we have empowered the government flush our precious constitutional rights away and we barely squawk. Wasn't it just a few years ago the big anti-vaccine stand was from liberal democrats because it made kids autistic?
My Covid catching never vaccinate/anti-vaccinate friend didn't die but got and remains damn sick. Like him, I suspect most that don't get a shot and catch it will turn to medical technology to stay alive. He dosed with Hydroxychloroquine, Monoclonal antibodies, and other medical technologies, many not proven, to stay alive. Yet the shot was going to change his DNA in some far fetched planned grand scheme??? It seems inconsistent, at best, to refuse to get vaccinated yet be willing to jump on so many unproven treatments after catching Covid.
Right up to the when the world shutdown, I traveled all the time. I think close to 100 countries over at least 200 international trips in the past 10 years. I have had dozens of vaccines for stuff I had never even heard of just to be allowed into countries or onto company sites. I have had to post medicate for Malaria, Dengue Fever, and other ailments. I never thought of these as impingements on my personal freedoms or choice. I thought of them living, working, and being part of society. Maybe some kid or old man didn't die because I took a shot, didn't get sick, and didn't spread some disease.
