Good cause if they are anything like the 2nd dose shots they should find a way to compensate people for missing 2 days of work with headaches, fever, chills, body ache, etc.
- apetrovic 5y agoIt's like an insurance - you pay with chills now to avoid bigger hit later (more serious sickness or death).
- swader999 5y agoOr if you are young and healthy pay with a real infection for more robust immunity going forward
- newsbinator 5y agoThe compensation is not missing weeks or years due to Covid... or in rarer cases, you know, dying.
- encryptluks2 5y agoYes, not having a place to live is so much better than the 99.9% survival rate for someone in my age group.
- newsbinator 5y agoHow would getting covid be in any way preferable for someone in your age group than getting the vaccine? You're guaranteed to get one or the other, likely both.
- kongin 5y agoBut think of the opportunity cost! If you're under 40 and you spread the virus to your over 50 boss she has at least an order of magnitude more chance of dying than you. You could then move up the corporate ladder with her departure.
- _red 5y agoHow about the reverse! If you're a 8 year old male, you get the shot and die of myocarditis, but the 82 yr old overweight cancer patient gets an extra 4 months!!! YAY!
- MagnumOpus 5y agoMyocarditis is about 8x more likely when getting COVID than when getting a covid vaccine, so nope, even an 8-yo should get shot out of pure self interest. (If their chance of catching COVID in the next few years is more than 1/8, which it certainly is.) https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25133462-800-myocarditis-is-more-common-after-covid-19-infection-than-vaccination/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25133462-800-myocardi...
- _red 5y ago>Post a study where totals are not separated by age / gender even though thats the claim. Sloppy job. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/06/israel-detects-link-between-myocarditis-and-covid-vaccine.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/06/israel-detects-link-...
- occz 5y agoHow about you introduce paid medical leave, like the rest of the developed world.
- pessimizer 5y agoI don't know why the US is never serious about these things. We don't get a day off to vote, we don't get days off to get our mandatory vaccination. But we get Juneteenth? I'm not from Texas, and where my family lived it didn't matter much that slavery was over until the 1950s. So an awkward, meaningless gesture towards black people for helping the DNC defeat Sanders is prioritized ahead of democracy and epidemic disease.
- Thlom 5y agoIf you need a full day off work to vote you have other issues.
- bigbob2 5y agoSounds like you're assuming your situation applies to everyone.
- Thlom 5y agoI was referring to societal problems, not the individuals problems. Voting should be easy and accessible and not something you have to take the day off or several hours out of your day to get done. I literally spent 3 minutes voting this year on my way out of the vaccination center.
