Thinking of getting vaccinated?

[jellywrestler]

I'm just pointing out your selective outrage when it comes to things that can be harmful to you.

my selective outrage, can you enlighten me as to one or more instance that this has occured, cause in my life I cannot recall being outraged at one single thing.

[jellywrestler]

When I ran out of fingers and toes.

shows you level of intelligence that you still need fingers and toes to count, most of us on here are smarter than that.

Have another drink Spyda.

Give him some credit! I am sure he can count to fifty!

edit, apparently it's only approx twenty!

I enjoyed his accusatory claims of other having "selected outrage" when he's a self confessed recreational drug user totally unconcerned about about harm from say recreational drugs vs miniscule chance of adverse effect of vaccination.

For sure, there are many potential risks with consuming cannabis. As someone who used to partake I was well aware of these risks, but smoking weed was never mandated. That was my main issue with the way the covid vaccine was handled. I honestly didn't see a need for me to take the vaccine, it was only due to factors involving my family and events I wanted to be a part of that I saw fit to get vaccinated. I have no concerns over the safety of the vaccine (excluding that there are inherent risks with any medication/vaccine/treatment) but as a relatively fit individual with no underlying issues that put me at risk I didn't feel that it was necessary (yes there is the argument of not passing the virus onto those that were at risk but that was (a) not an issue that I faced and (b) it was understood that the vaccine did little to prevent the spread of the virus.

So basically you went along with it because you were forced to.

Some of us aren't that easily manipulated.

How great thou art...

Except you made a blunder my dear boy. I wasn't 'manipulated', I made a choice. I wasn't forced either, I could have elected to have missed out on these family events. But seeing as I felt there was no risk that I was overly concerned about, I made a free choice.

You were forced.

In the same way that someone with a family and mortgage who needed to keep their job was forced.

lmao, missing out on a couple birthdays is in no way comparable to someone losing their livelihood and home. I wasn’t forced at all, I made a choice. I could have stayed at home. We could’ve celebrated at home. I just wasn’t concerned about taking it, it didn’t phase me either way.

You've admitted that you didn't feel the need to take it.

You took it because you would have been denied family interaction if you didn't.

You were manipulated.

[TheDemonLord]

Let's be fair, the reverse applied as well. Arguably with the same or greater vitriol against those who thought differently.

Well... Hold up just there a second... Reading your subsequent post, I want to just first clarify I do not condone violence. Now that I have stated that clearly: The people that wanted to be left alone were compelled to follow rules or risk penalties.

People who did not want or believe in wearing a Mask - regardless of there reasons for doing so, were compelled to use them. I had issues in a number of stores with Zealous staff who revelled in their new-found piety in ordering people about.

Then we have the Vaccines - What historically had been a personal health decision was now mandated and Ahren passes issued, with significant societal restrictions for absolutely no reason.

And what I mean by that last part is that by the time the Vaccine Pass was rolled out, the data was clear that Covid was only an issue for those over 70 or with certain pre-existing medical conditions. We also had pretty conclusive evidence that the Covid vaccine did not stop transmission (which was the entire reason for enforcing the taking of the Vaccine).

The Vitriol you speak of (and I do not doubt its existence) was a direct response to the massive overeach and trampling of Civil Liberties.

Had the world not lost its mind and stuck to libertarian principles, I would wager that the vast majority of Virtiol that you speak of would not have occurred.

And what of the people that did loose their livelihood and homes.

I can think of a business locally that stood on principle and refused to check vaccine status. They were fined into bankruptcy.

I can think of a number of businesses that existed quite happily for years, only to go under due to the economic strains that the Covid restrictions placed on them.

I know of 2 people who are no longer with us because they felt like Death was an easier option than choosing between their livelihood or taking a medical intervention they had serious issues with.

Nah not denied family interaction, just it would've meant stacking the dishwasher.

Look, if I was opposed to the vaccine, say on health concerns, then yes I would agree with you. But I wasn't. So I don't. And I got to enjoy some great food.

But you said you knew you didn't need it.

Do you make a habit of sticking experimental shit in you if you don't think you need it?

The vitriol I was referring to was in reply to your post about people signalling virtue based on their vaccine status, which happened on both sides. I know plenty of people who chose not to be vaccinated and mocked/abused/attacked those that did, expressing their superiority (calling themselves pure-bloods etc lol) based on the fact they were not vaccinated.
