Will you get the Covid Vaccine?

[wadesworld]

yes, after my wife (also a fitness instructor but who would never think of doing this) did. If the word fits....  Plus, I love me some Jim Jefferies.

Sorry if calling out someone who scammed her way to getting a vaccine offends you.

You guys sound like great people.

I've heard that in WI the initial group is not actual age but the age you act.  So doc has a while.

Are we talking about eligibility for the vaccine or undergarments?

Please proceed (to not get the vaccine), dumbasses:

QAnon Star Who Said Only 'Idiots' Get Vax Dies of COVID
https://news.yahoo.com/qanon-star-said-only-idiots-194553934.html

"A leading QAnon promoter who urged both her followers and strangers she passed on the street not to take the COVID vaccine died Thursday of the coronavirus, making her just the latest vaccine opponent killed by the disease.

Weldon focused on attacking vaccines and other efforts to fight COVID-19, saying in one video that Dr. Anthony Fauci "needs to be hung from a rope." She claimed the vaccine killed people, and even recorded herself yelling at people standing in line to receive vaccines.

"The vaccines kill, don't get it!" Weldon warned the waiting vaccine recipients in an undated video posted to one of her online accounts. "This is how gullible these idiots are. They're all getting vaccine!"

n September, a QAnon follower named Veronica Wolski became a cause celebre in QAnon circles after she was hospitalized with the coronavirus. QAnon fans besieged the hospital with phone calls demanding that Wolski receive ivermectin, the deworming drug used by some as an unproven coronavirus treatment. Wolski died of the disease later that month.

In the face of these deaths, their surviving friends and supporters have started to allege that the dead QAnon figures are being murdered, either because they were refused internet folk remedies like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, or because they were killed by the deep-state to cover up their conspiracy theories.

In December, Kuzma and a number of other conspiracy theorists were sickened with COVID-like symptoms after appearing together at a conference. Rather than acknowledge that they had COVID, the far-right influencers suggested they had been targeted by an anthrax attack."

So, get the vaccine, or listen to our resident "healthcare professionals" and subscribe to the idea that catching COVID is the best way to avoid catching COVID, and even if you do catch COVID you can cure yourself with ivermectin. Please proceed.

You could do a story like this every day and it won't change entrenched positions.

More than 20% of Americans remain unvaccinated, with predictable results:

I was going to post this, too.

The pandemic IS over for those who get the proven, life-saving vaccines.

From the article that accompanied the chart:

Yes, boosters matter, as the charts above show. The biggest benefit is a reduction in severe illness among vulnerable people, as Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University, told me. For that reason, anybody over 50 who has not yet received a booster shot in 2022 should consider getting one as soon as possible.

(One exception: If you recently had Covid, you should wait several months before getting a booster, as my colleague Dani Blum explains.)

The most effective way to reduce Covid deaths, however, does not involve boosters. It involves persuading more unvaccinated Americans to get their first shot. Their risks are far higher than the risks facing the unboosted. Unfortunately, public health officials acknowledge that they don't know how to increase that number very much. About four-fifths of the unvaccinated — a group that is disproportionately Republican — say they will "definitely not" get a shot, according to Kaiser.

Covid remains so deadly largely because millions of Americans have decided they would rather accept its risks than receive a vaccine shot.

If this decision stands will have quite the snowball affect across the country.  Will their be reimbursement for this who quit their job and relocated because of a mandate in place? 

Will private sector employers be on the hook to bring back terminated employees and forced to provide back pay?

You don't know how courts work, do you?  Not surprised you lack the knowledge on that as well.

Good talk Rico, per usual.

[Warriors4ever]

Well for one thing, that is New  York's trial level court, not their highest court, and isn't precedent for anything, and it is being appealed.
The Twitter comments are, as usual, disturbing.

Which is why I said in original post that "if this stands"

Vaccines are evil.

Long live polio!

4 vaccines in.  And flu shot.   As said elsewhere, if you are anti-vaxx, I encourage you to hold tight to your beliefs.  Just don't call 911 or take up hospital beds.

Yep. It's all about accountability, consequences and taking responsibility for one's own actions (or inactions).

Got my 2nd COVID booster yesterday.  I have more international travel (to Asia) on deck in 2023.
