I find myself amused by the guy talking anti-vax over in the conspiracy forum. He keeps talking about not "opening his veins". I think he's taking a drama class. He needs a human bio class.

koods said: Not mandating a vaccine that will prevent mass suffering and protect the healthcare system would be a act of cowardice and a moral failing. Your country has the power to essentially get through the pandemic without any mass casualties. The vaccine resistance is a threat to the stability of the country. It’s time to stop indulging the antivaxxers. In every western country they are preventing society from returning to normal. Lock them down and open up the rest of society, and don’t let them leave their houses until they fucking grow up. Until they are vaxxed, everyone is going to suffer continued lock downs and restrictions. The unvaccinated don’t have the right to fuck up everyone else’s lives.
Koods, I can see your point and frustration. But, just exactly how would you do it? The ADF, AFP and State police would be reluctant to do this as it was tried in the state of Victoria seeing to the thuggery on civilians. This is Australia not Tiananmen Square. Given the massive anti-mandate marches across the country on this weekend it won't happen. ScoMo has already sided them for his coming federal.
So, no too far from now when the international borders open large numbers of elderly, the obese/comorbid and the immuno-compromised will die. Far more will get long term covid and the public Medicare health system seems unlikely to survive that because it is struggling now. Meanwhile lockdowns will happen again as will masks. Just like it has happened OS.
On the up side there you won't have a national health system like ObamaCare (what we have here is called Medicare) to fall apart.

You mean the guy that got killed for no reason and failed to use self defense?
Clearly, the lesson here is that (a) more black people need to be strapped and (b) more black people need to be willing to drop cops in self defense.
It's like the NRA says, there's never a bad time for more guns.

This really should go in the right wing compendium, but it turns out pro trump counties die of Covid at 3 times the rate of joe counties. People really should stop being so fucking retarded.

They made 5 to replace the 2, because they realize they are going to voluntarily die at rates higher than required.
Nice.

Vaccines would be a form of artificial selection, slowing or stopping natural selection: allowing people who normally would die, to survive.

Social Darwinism isn’t real. It’s not far removed from eugenics. It however has become accepted in the sense that dumb people do dumb things. Not getting vaccinated being one of those things.

I agree that social Darwinism doesn't really exist. Unless you actually enforce eugenics.

Covid is causing natural selection. But isn't people being intelligent enough to choose the vaccine, or not an issue of biological fitness? I realize the difference between the two groups wasn't caused by a random mutation. But isn't risking your life over some misguided notion of liberty an example of being less fit to survive. Maybe it's a stretch to call it Darwinism, but in modern society good vs bad decisions about lifestyle are a major determinant of who survives and who doesn't.

My coworker tells me that if I get vaccinated.. ill have a microchip implanted in me... that crosses the blood brain barrier.. and is made of graphene.
And also... he said the Simpsons is his go to for predictions about the future.
I'm more of a family guy... guy.. though. Wonder how that tracks.
Hi guys! :-D
Don't get vaccinated.
Bye.

Fuck off bro.. im not vaccinated, and I'm not getting it. Pretty sure I've already had covid. I have this theory... smoking crack kills covid.
If it doesn't work... at least I get to smoke crack. Mmm crack.
But really... Im not getting vaccinated.. just doesn't seem necessary to me. Demonize all you like.

Feel free to not get vaccinated. Just don't end up in the ER costing the rest of us money for something that is free to prevent. Or, you know, give COVID to other people that end up in the ER costing the rest us money for something that is free to prevent.
It's pretty simple.

I tested positive A breakthrough infection I was vaccinated way back in April Stupidly I put off the booster. My buddy got one a couple weeks back and constantly has been around me was fine.
Everyone that was at work this last Saturday tested positive besides one lady that always wears a mask.
Im mid 30s quite healthy. I felt like I was drowning yesterday. Granted I was only sick Wednesday afternoon and yesterday. Today I feel pretty good but not 100%
Im sure without the vaccine I would have been sick long and worse. Possibly with some lung tissue damage.
You're literally stupid as fuck if you don't want to get a small inactivated piece of covid before getting the whole live covid virus. There's no other way to put it. Sheep about freedom and choice...
Natural immunity is at least 5 times less strong than vaccine mediated immunity.
I sincerely hope every antivaxxer that gets covid goes through hell or dies it's not even worth being human to people who can't be human back to the rest of society.
Even I started off skeptical but anyone with more than 3 working neurons has figured it out by now
I'm sure some joke will find a way to make my statements out to be so mean and evil...
At this point in the covid timeline antivaxxers are the same playing field as pedophiles. Valueless to society.

Lots of people getting infected lately. Hospitals in my area are filling up again... 75% unvaccinated taking up beds in a state where only 19% of the population is unvaccinated . The ICU's are almost entirely unvaccinated
Fucking wild the death pledge these people are taking.
Yeah who knows how your infection would've played out if you weren't vaccinated. No matter how many different ways you try to explain this to people, they simply refuse to believe that 'young and healthy' people can and frequently do get very sick from Covid.
I've worked with more Covid patients in their 20s than in the 65+ age bracket, and it's solely because 95-99% of seniors in my state are vaccinated.
