- dmajirb 5y agoI am up-to-date on all of my required vaccines, however the ‘Covid vaccine’ is a vaccine by name only—so much so that the CDC had to update the definition of a vaccine LMAO! Until the shot has several years of longitudinal case data available for analysis, I will remain uncomfortable taking the untested artificially designed gene therapy all for a disease that poses insignificant risk to me. Sorry for being a jerk, frustrating times
- thenewnormal 5y agoIf it's "for the public health" to mandate a vaccine to age groups for a disease that presents essentially no threat to those people, then we have already crossed a terrible line.
- tzs 5y ago> Vaccine mandates have been a thing for a 100 years. Even longer. George Washington mandated smallpox inoculation for the army during the Revolutionary War in 1777, inoculating the current soldiers and then every recruit going forward. At the time only about 1/4 of the soldiers had gained immunity by prior smallpox infection. The rest were vulnerable. On the other side, most of the British soldiers had immunity so this put the Continental army at a big disadvantage, as a smallpox outbreak could incapacitate a whole regiment. After the army was inoculated, they just suffered isolated smallpox infections that failed to incapacitate a single regiment. The Native Americans and the slaves that had elected to fight for the British in exchange for their freedom did not have immunity and were devastated by smallpox, greatly reducing their impact on the war.
