I believe one of the biggest myths is that we could stop a virus. You can't stop a virus. The deaths and illnesses were going to occur no matter what we do
Nope
If ppl had taken the vaccine, we wouldn't be experiencing a surge in cases.
That's why Republicans are all of a sudden urging vaccination.
Too little too late for that effort. Just read these threads where some conservatives who generally have common sense are OK w/ vaccine skepticism.
We're abt to have another hard period & Republican "leaders" like Ron Johnson are in the driver's seat of that race to the bottom.
So you for mandatory vaccinations of all Americans? You think the gov't should be allowed to force people to accept vaccinations?
I think employers should be able to require vaccination. Mine does.
I think vaccination should be required to use public transit.
I think vaccination should be required to fly.
I think you go to the grocery and other businesses at your own risk but that THEY, not ******* customers, should decide how much risk they want their ees to endure.
I think ppl who opt not to get vaccinated should also sign a release that says the local E.R.s and hospitals can choose to not admit you if you get COVID
I don't think ppl admitted to ERs w/ COVID symptoms shld be allowed to refuse a test. That results in underreported cases, which Republicans are using to claim the problem's not as big as it is.
I think ppl, especially politicians, who promote false info about vaccines/vaccination should face sanctions for public endangerment. WI Sen Ron Johnson would be at the top of my list.
I think Republicans who don't support vaccination and other public health measures, esp those working hard to undermine those efforts, are blowing smoke out their asses if they are claiming what they're doing supports ecoomic recovery. Because it does the opposite. Republicans have hurt our recovery by promoting paranoia that resulted in us squandering a surplus of vaccines & now some are trying to backtrack, like DeSantis, but its too little and too late.
