Oso planning to go pro
I think I agree with the notion that it'll never be 'mandatory' on a national level but that individual businesses will be able to require it as a condition of employment or attendance/participation.
I'd say he was grouping closer to 90-100million (estimate of evangelical Christians) not the entirety of Christian America
Even still. Comparing that group off the actions of a few to someone like the Taliban is as stupid as comparing any mask mandates to Nazi Germany.
I hope that has at least some positive impact on changing the minds of the vaccine hesitant folks. Even a 1% impact is a start.
Doubt it.Prepare for goalposts to be moved again.
It’s incredible to me Trump was booed when urging people to get vaccinated.
Yikes @TizzyEnt: Told you...I've uncovered evidence of a scam allowing the unvaccinated to appear vaccinated, but how many? https://twitter.com/TizzyEnt/status/1430658074377924618/video/1
https://www.heritage.org/public-health/report/statistical-analysis-covid-19-breakthrough-infections-and-deaths?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=thf-twOnce you’re vaccinated this thing is over. Similar odds to dying from Covid as you would have of dying by lightning strike per the data. Get poked, live your life.
Dying, why is everyone only concerned about dying? Personally I'm concerned about the likelihood of myocarditis if I get even a mild case after vaccination. I'm still going out and what not, but why is it so black and white for you?
You can get myocarditis from any viral infection? You could get it from the Covid vaccine? I guess I don’t understand your point. My post was to suggest that if vaccinated you can drop the mask and sleep easy. A lot of doom and gloom still being reported directed at those who are even vaccinated which is counterproductive imo.
Myocarditis from the vaccine? Source?

At a MUCH lower rate than getting Covid. The broader point I was making is after hearing another poster's story of having a bad case of Covid despite vaccinated, after seeing my sister's case of it despite being vaccinated everything's a calculated risk, not necessarily "back to normal" if a person doesn't feel comfortable. And a major part of that calculated risk should be taking into account more than just death as there's plenty of other long term issues.
A fantastic Twitter thread about vaccines and American freedoms:@michaelharriotWhen anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about? What if I told you this happens EXACTLY every 100 years?[In 1706, the members of a Boston church gave the pastor Cotton Mather a gift bag with a very special present--an enslaved Black man named Onesimus. ( That's how they collected tithes and offerings, but times were very different back then)But Mather couldn't STAND Onesimus.Some of it was because Onesimus laughed his ass off when Mather tried to convince him that God was white. Mather said Onesimus was "wicked" because he was too smart. Plus, Onesimus tried to tell Mather something that was unbelievable.In Africa, they had cured smallpox.Smallpox was a deadly, contagious disease. When it came to the US, they blamed the pandemic on immigrants who came here on ships. Then…You know what? There's no way anyone living today would understand this part.Anyway, Mather didn't believe Onesimus' BS.But he told his pharmacist friend about it, and they decided to try it. So Mather & his doctor friend inoculated 248 of their friends and family.When white people heard this, they lost their minds. One Boston newspaper stayed impartial. But the publisher and his little brother secretly printed pamphlets that said the slaves were trying to kill the white people by injecting them with smallpox.It sparked the first anti-vaxxer movement. They even firebombed Mather's house with a note that said "I will inoculate you with this." Then, in 1721, 5,889 people in Boston – about 1/2 the town– caught smallpox & 1 out of every 7 died.Only 6 of the 248 people inoculated by Onesimus' recipe died—or one in 40. Massachusetts quickly became the first state to promote public vaccination.The next year, another smallpox epidemic hit. Less than 3% even caught it. It worked.But that publisher's little brother, who was printing those anti-vaxx pamphlets, he was too embarrassed to get his kids vaccinated and his son died.He regretted it so much that he moved to Philadelphia, opened America's first hospital.I'm not saying this guy was more intelligent than you, but when you talk about your "freedoms" & what the Founders stood for, you should know that this guy was kinda like a Founding Father. His nickname was "The first American" But most people just call him Ben Franklin.Ben was all for vaccine mandates, but a lot of people weren't. States banned vaccines, & people rioted in Virginia in 1769. One Virginian wasn't worried because he had already gone to Philadelphia to get vaccinated.Ben even helped him edit this breakup letter he wrote.It was called the Declaration of Independence.In his 2nd term as president, he began mandating vaccines.Literally 100 years after someone put a human being in the offering plate, Jefferson wrote a doctor concerning vaccines calling it the greatest discovery in medical history.A few years later, Jefferson's homeboy created the National Vaccine Agency. If you believe in the Founders, you should know the guy who created the Agency was some dude named James Madison, who also wrote this thing called the Constitution of the United States of America.One last bit of proof: During the Revolutionary War, smallpox ravaged British and American troops. So George Washington came up with an idea on how he could gain an advantage. Yep, a VACCINE MANDATE literally helped a ragtag group of soldiers create this thing called AmericaThere's more, which you can read here:https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/1432064300953346048
