Except abortions are a woman making a decision about another human being's life... so that's not really the same thing, isn't it?

Same thing as what? Abortion is an example where people's freedom, which you referred to, should be taken away because their freedom harms others. Just as not getting vaccinated can endanger those who have been vaccinated yet are still vulnerable to C-19. Get it now?

As for your other point, it's moronic. As I just said, if I don't get a vaccine, and I am in line with someone at the store who also decided not to get the vaccine, then that person made an independent choice as well.

Irrelevant to my point. See my comment above & the article i posted that you apparently didn't read.

Are you telling me the vaccine isn't even going to be effective? Then why would anyone choose to take it? If that person is endangered by my not getting a vaccine, then they must have not got the vaccine either, by choice, or the vaccine doesn't work.

Why would anyone take a vaccine that didn't work?

Wrong & ditto my comments above.

So you have no logical response?

The vaccine either works or it doesn't.

The article already explained it:

"He notes that many older folks may not generate a robust response to a vaccine. As people age, their immune systems become less efficient at producing the antibodies and T-cells necessary to fight off an infection. As a result, they may still become ill even if they get a shot.

"People with compromised immune systems, such as certain cancer patients, may also fail to benefit fully from a vaccine.

"To protect vulnerable populations, we need a sufficient number of people who are immune to the infection so that the virus has a hard time spreading from person to person."

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 10px; margin: 0px;">"Don't want the COVID-19 vaccine? You could lose access to normal life, says U.K. minister

Shots voluntary, but restaurants and bars may not let you in without one, says Britain's vaccine minister


People who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 could find normal life curtailed as restaurants, bars, cinemas and sports venues could block entry to those who don't have proof that they're inoculated, Britain's new vaccine minister said on Monday.

Several major COVID-19 vaccines have been announced in recent weeks, raising hopes that the world could soon return to some semblance of normality after the coronavirus killed 1.46 million people and wiped out a chunk of the global economy.

The British minister responsible for vaccine rollout, Nadhim Zahawi, said getting vaccinated should be voluntary but that Google, Facebook and Twitter should do more to fact-check opposing views of vaccines.

Asked if the U.K. would introduce an immunity passport, Zahawi said a person's COVID-19 vaccine status might be included in a phone app, similar to the Test and Trace app used by the National Health Service, that would inform local doctors of a person's status.


"I think you'd probably find that restaurants and bars and cinemas and other venues, sports venues, will probably also use that system as they've done with the [Test and Trace] app," he said.

"The sort of pressure will come both ways: from service providers — who will say 'look, demonstrate to us that you have been vaccinated' — but also, we will make the technology as easy and accessible as possible."

Health authorities in many countries have become increasingly concerned in recent years by the growth of anti-vaccine groups, which are especially active on social media.

Zahawi declined to give any specific date for a vaccine rollout as none have yet been approved for public use.

The message, he said, should be that a vaccine is good for the community and the country.

I’m quite sure world travellers will need a “vaccination passport” at some point.

I'm more likely to get it if it's not mandatory. If they make it mandatory, I'll feel like I have a civic duty to resist.

Tomorrow, no. In a month sure if there are no early side effects.

Fuck no. It is about control. Go take your vaccine with a complimentary chip in it like a good little sheep for a virus with a 99% recovery rate, but the vaccine supposedly has a 94% success rate. Pure garbage, they have no way of knowing this. They supposedly skipped the animal trials because it was causing a lot of inflammation.

I would have no problem getting a vaccine - at the same time I would be in no hurry either - I just feel like if I were to get Covid I would be like any one of the millions of others who had little to no symptoms - if I were diabetic or had anything that was comprising my immune system I would get it day 1

For the record - there is no chip in the virus - nor any tracking device - I promise you
