Must be nice to be as woke as some people.  Now that Biden has been “elected” we can start moving toward Utopia (insert sarcasm here).  I’ve had it (COVID)- I just don’t see the mass hysteria and rest

If a COVID-19 virus vaccine was available to you would you take it?

 

I think I’ll wait 2 months and see.

I honestly considered taking it early if it would possibly help the greater good.  I've got good insurance, my work is flexible, and I'm healthy.  If taking it would help to slow the spread and make it safer to be around my parents (who I have only seen a few times since this all started), then I'd probably do it.  

Now that I've read a little about the rollout plan (first responders, medical staff, nursing home patients, then essential workers, then gen pop, I think that it won't really matter by the time I get the opportunity.  I'm not worried so much about whether or not I get sick, but whether taking it will keep me from spreading it.

Can you trust big Pharma? And cardinalbacker I’m sure the former presidents will have a president only cocktail.

You know, I've got an aunt that's my Dad's age that survived polio... barely.  Pretty much crippled and mostly uneducated because nobody thought she would live long.  Vaccines do work.  My mom remembers going down and getting the polio vaccine on sugar cubes and the lines were tremendous, according to her.  Everybody wanted to get their kids vaccinated.  I didn't grow up in a world inhabited by anti-vaxxers who never experienced a world without vaccines, so I'm probably not as concerned as you are.  Vaccines don't cause autism, btw, lol.

They sure don't. Your comment is refreshing. I get so frustrated talking to anti vaxxers.

I must admit, I’m not sure yet.   Having been in the Army, and in a unit (allegedly) ready to move anywhere in the world in 48 hours, I’ve had plenty of shots.   We had shots for tropical diseases to polar bear indigestion.   Still take yearly flu shot, but this is a different animal.  

Here’s my problem.   According to Harvard Med, almost a third of positive Covid test are false.  I’m having trouble getting comfortable with a shot that’s suppose to keep me safe from a disease we can’t even make a sure-fire test for.   On the plus side, I’m 75 & have underlying conditions, so I’m high risk.   I’ll probably take it though, if all the Med folks don’t fall over dead 😂

How can an unvaccinated person give a virus to a vaccinated person if vaccines really work?

It's not so much about total prevention.... it's not a force field against the virus.  The is thought that you SHOULDN'T get sick, and therefore you won't be transmitting it to others.  If enough people aren't spreading it, the spread will pretty much grind to a halt.  Think of all of those kids whose parents wont get them vaccinated now... Mumps, measles, polio, etc haven't made a big comeback because enough people ARE vaccinated that the thing just can't spread like wildfire.  It's like the flu vaccine.... some people still get it after being vaccinated, but we don't have to lock the whole world down because it typically doesn't spread uncontrollably.  I'm guessing that you'll hear stories of people who got vaccinated for covid and still caught it later, but those will be rare situations if enough people take the vaccine.

As long as we stay at a 99.97% survival rate then I think I’ll pass but if everyone else wants to to have a vaccination party then knock yourself out. Thanks CB

Well, I hope you like chronic lockdowns, uneducated kids, no live music, and not seeing your mom and dad, too. 

The lockdowns will continue regardless as long as we allow them. Our education system sucks anyway. I don’t listen to live music and my mom & dad passed away years ago. No I just like the freedom of choice, just like I choose not to get a flu vaccine shot every year. I’ll stick with the immune system god gave me.  Hey but at least we can watch football games that have football players not wearing mask but the coaches wearing mask because that makes it safer. Lol 

We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

I asked an anti vaxxer when is the last time he heard of someone contacting polio or small pox. He responded that It's been a long time. Duh, It's due to people getting inoculated.

Yep and herd immunity can occur naturally, without masks. 

It's been happening for centuries... usually after the disease wipes out a measurable portion of the population, but who cares?  

Some people are just ignorant.  If you're comfortable with a cook back there maskless, coughing all over your deep-fried whatever you eat before your maskless server comes out with your plate on a tray literally inches from her face during a pandemic, good for you.  

There will always be those jerks rubbing their runny nose with the back of their hand before they pick up the tongs at the salad bar... and you sound like one of those people.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
