Vaccine or not?

[NurseGoodVol]

CDC Advisers Recommend Pfizer, Moderna Covid-19 Vaccines Over J&J’s

Isn’t this what trials are for?

Uh… we are still going through trials. The guinea pigs aren’t aware…..shhhhhh.

 

[luthervol]

You can take off shirts and shoes and put them on… boosters are for life

Yea, I was comparing shirts and shoes to masks, not vaccines. It was my mistake.

Even with masks it is a silly analogy. How are you going to eat in a restaurant with a mask on?

 

[luthervol]

You obviously can't. The analogy is that there is a decision made about what is appropriate and then that decision is enforced.

I miss living in Japan

Same.

Then why have that rule?

 

[Jxn Vol]

Then why have that rule?

Big government control. Nothing they do makes sense. But they have to do something to say they are doing something.

 

[luthervol]

Then why have that rule?

I would guess the thinking was that during the time of entering and exiting the restaurant, mask wearing would protect people.

That's certainly not unique to government.

Agreed. That’s why I want it as small as it can be.

Only if what fills that vacuum is not worse.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Most of the time government is worse. Eg. USPS vs Fedex, Medicare vs BCBS, Social Security vs private investments

Those governmental services were designed to serve ALL - especially the most disadvantaged. The vacuum filler best keep that in mind,

And when that was proven to be false the people should have the guts to admit they were wrong

This just proves your distrust in the private system. The government is doing a superb job in public education. That must be why private schools are smoking them year in and year out. Race to the bottom

I'm not sure that everyone agrees that it was proven wrong.
Global warming/climate change has been proven to a higher degree than the ineffectiveness of masks.

lol......
I've had a great idea for decades that no one seems willing to adopt.
Since private schools are so superior, let them take 2-5% of the students that public schools can't seem to reach.
I would even support vouchers for that.

 

[DonjoVol]

Are we arguing over masks now? For those who are for masks I challenge you to go work for a year in a restaurant or manufacturing environment with one on. One of two things will happen. You won't make it a year or you'll change your mind pretty quick on masks.

By the way. If I can smell people's cologne, perfume, and farts thru a mask then it's safe for me to come to the conclusion that they don't work.

Plus too many people constantly playing with and adjusting their masks then touching other things and getting germs all over the place. And people using the same masks for weeks at a time.

So because people dont care for themselves the government has to step in and take from some to give to those who dont care for themselves. Seems legit.

I guess you love those group projects where one person does all the work but everyone gets an A. Really helps those who do nothing learn whatever the project was about, and sets them up better in the future.

You believe in forcing people to use crutches so that they cripple themselves and have to use the government provided crutch.

Does that make sense to you? Especially when you consider that the diners will be removing them at their tables?

Winter time. If I can see you exhale and fog/condensation is coming through your mask, then that proves it is ineffective. If I can see cigarette smoke going through your mask, that proves it is ineffective.

I was never in agreement but I understood why some were under the circumstances at the time; and I willingly complied whenever I made the personal choice to visit a restaurant requiring masks.

 

[kiddiedoc]

One thing I have learned through the past two years is that people will NEVER admit they were wrong about COVID.

Hell, Knox County kids are STILL wearing masks at school (well, not really, but there is a mandate in place...)

I never could understand. It's simple high school physics.

The hostess at a restaurant I went to last week said some people would complain if they didn't have their masks on all the way. God forbid people need to breathe fresh air right? And if people are concerned about other people not wearing masks then they really need to stay home.

And just the blatant hypocrisy of them thinking it's okay to not wear a mask but expect other people to wear them.
