Sure would be great if we could get to Denmark's vaccination numbers. This is like saying "We should stop all the DUI checkpoints like this other country did,"

Sure would be great if we could get to Denmark's vaccination numbers. This is like saying "We should stop all the DUI checkpoints like this other country did," when that country doesn't have a DUI problem but 30% of drivers in our country are drunk.

In my country, you're not even legally required to give your driving license when stopped by a police officer for DUI.

  You're talking about the UK, right? From what I understand they're still going to ID you one way or another (e.g. they'll just look you up in their database, just like police in the US will do if you don't have your license on your person).

    Sorta works that way in Canada too. At a DUI checkpoint where they pull over everyone without reasonable cause, the stop is supposed to be strictly to check for DUI. They’re not supposed to go poking around for more things unless it’s incidental to the stop (if they see a dead body, they can investigate that, but not supposed to decide to check your immigration/license/insurance status as a part of the stop).

    They'll ID you if you did something wrong. If not, for instance if they're randomly pulling over cars to check for drink driving and you're clean, then they don't need to ID you.

Vaccination numbers as of 28.09.2021: Denmark: 76.7% / 75.1% Canada: 77.5% / 71.4% Scotland: 76.7% / 70.2% Canada will most likely overtake Denmark as more people have had the first vaccine shot.

Comparing being unvaccinated to drunk driving is absurd.

  Both recklessly ignore the overwhelming expert consensus, both selfishly risk your health and the health of others around you. It's a perfect analogy.

    "overwhelming expert consensus" the only consensus about the experimental mRNA gene therapy is among the mainstream news media.

      Wrong on every single count, impressive. - It's not 'experimental' - It's not 'gene therapy' - It has broad support from every major medical and public health organization on the planet, who based their decisions on the empirical research demonstrating its safety and effectiveness.

        It literally is experimental. We have never deployed an mRNA vaccine on this scale before. This is the first time it has been done. The standard years of testing vaccines traditionally go through has not happened with this one. So it is, undeniably, objectively, experimental. It is literally gene therapy. While most vaccines present a neutered form of a virus for your immune system to safely respond to and develop antibodies that will be useful in counteracting the version of the virus in the wild, mRNA vaccines quite literally insert themselves into your cells and try to insert that "training" RNA code into your immune system artificially without your body doing it on its own terms. This is what gene therapy is. The medical boards based their decisions on the empirical research that doesn't exist yet? That's wild, they're time travelers?
