If more people would just go along with the program, it would make things so much easier.
Sometimes you just have to trust the experts to know what's right.
⬐ Cyberdogs7/s ?⬐ nickthemagicmanNo I mean it.I always passed so I never had any issues.
I think we just need to do our best and get through this for the betterment of society.
⬐ verdvermAre the policy makers experts in virology? What are they basing this policy on, legally and medically? Is there scientific consensus among actual experts?⬐ nickthemagicmanIm not sure. I know I passed every time.Because I just did what they told me and went along with the program.
People need to remember the lessons from this time.
Louis Rossmann, owner of Rossmann Repair Group, released a video attacking this new policy - and he is pro-vaccination and encourages his family and employees to get it.
⬐ forcry> Why would you not consider it?Because they don't want to hear the answer to that. Even worse, they don't want that answer to be heard. Because they probably fear that it is going to sound reasonable to a rational mind, that just ain't come up with it on its own.

⬐ throwitaway1235Segregation is immoral.⬐ wtt604⬐ glkjaegrso is people dying before their time⬐ throwitaway1235Death exists and is amoral.⬐ failwhalesharkDeath is not inevitable, and there is such thing as agency / locus-of-controlNot reducing actual harm, suffering, and deaths where possible is immoral. Inconveniences are the lesser evil.
We don't give people the option to opt-out of polio, mumps, rubella, etc. because their "opinion" would affect others. (Antivaxx BS exceptions notwithstanding, which led to numerous outbreaks in private boarding schools.) It's not the same as pregnancy. Informed consent doesn't work in this instance because too many people are stupid and pose liabilities to others without vaccination; informed compliance is the safer course for public health in a pandemic emergency. This is how it would've been done in the 1940's but now people are too ignorant, unreasonable, and noncompliant to be trusted to do what's essential to address a common threat. They can argue about "freedumbs" and "tyranny" after their shots.
⬐ wtt604Science also exists, but I don't consider myself an expert on the morality of it, so you do what you want.There is an absolutely massive protest this Monday August 9th in NYC against the "mandate".DeBlasio should resign.
