They have attacked police. They have had dance parties on war memorials. They threw human shit at a home with a pride flag in the window. They assaulted people for wearing masks. Healthcare workers are now told to remove any indications that they work at a hospital for their own safety.
- jtbayly 5y agoIn other words, it's nothing alike.
- PierceJoy 5y agoYou're right. It's worse. BLM was because black people were being unjustly murdered. This occupation is because grown men are scared of a safe and effective vaccine during a worldwide pandemic.
- dang 5y agoWould you please stop taking the thread further into flamewar? I understand that you're justifiably upset about it, but you've posted 29 (edit: now 35) comments in this thread alone, many of them repetitive, and at this point you're falling into swipes. That doesn't help persuade anyone and it certainly isn't the curious conversation we're hoping for here.

- jtbayly 5y agoYeah, that was a dumb comment. Sorry.
- throwaway4aday 5y ago> Healthcare workers are now told to remove any indications that they work at a hospital for their own safety. This seems like a really weird narrative. Why would people who are protesting vaccine mandates be against healthcare workers? They aren't the ones keeping the mandate in place. There's a tenuous connection with them being the ones to administer a vaccine if someone decides to get vaccinated but it's not like attacking a healthcare worker is going to accomplish anything. A lot of the people engaging in this protest have already been vaccinated, what's their beef with healthcare? Honestly, this just seems like spin that's aimed at creating two opposing groups.

- _-david-_ 5y agoYou do realize something like 90% of truckers have been vaccinated? It doesn't seem like they think anyone involved with the vaccine are evil...
- sudosysgen 5y agoThat 90% of truckers aren't the ones in the convoy. Many of them are quite embarrassed at it.
- _-david-_ 5y agoSource?
- sudosysgen 5y agoWhat, precisely, do you want proof of? Do you want a census of the people in the convoy by vaccination status?
