Will you get vaccinated?

[QUOTE=mtpockets;1644677163]Ok, I see the edit now, I am slow lol

Yeah, kudos to the first responders, part of being rural. They rally and support the community and the community really backs them up. I think seeing them roll up their sleeves at the outset paved the way for most to get vaccinated. Like they say, lead by example.

The thing is, in our region whic is very vast, there has only been a couple of hundred cases since the pandemic started. since the middle of june there has only been 2 cases and that was outsiders visiting.[/QUOTE]
Yeah small town first responders are a LOT different in my experience (my dad is a retired FF from a small rural area). Big cities it’s not the same job, no “community” feel.
IMHO small towns with low infection rates that also have low vaccination rates will likely have a bad time at some point and likely overrun small town medical care options.

Hawaii is interesting to watch right now. They pretty much dodged covid until vaccinations were available, they are highly vaccinated (possibly top state), mask requirements china would be jealous of, and it’s just starting to smolder there.

Even Stevie wonder could see this one coming... I am sure you had a few vaccines by now, I know I did when I served..None of them were experimantal though.

It’d be stupid to throw that away. Can claim a religious exemption, even in the military. If my work requires it, I’ll likely just take it. I’ll lose my superhuman convalescent plasma though, not accepted from vaccinated people.

You bring up something I've found somewhat ironic this whole time. When someone joins the service they line up to take 100 injections that they can't even name or even care what they are and don't question a thing. Now we have a vaccine that protects against a pandemic and it's "well I am really concerned because what if this thing happens that makes no scientific sense because you know we don't have long term data".

Considering how fast we've gotten almost the whole country vaccinated..we are over 70% one dose and over half the population fully vaccinated, why are we so intensely concentrating on those few who for whatever reason are not yet vaccinated or don't want it? Yeah I know it's so and so many millions but it's a big country.

Agree, I’m ready for full open. Ample opportunity by now to get vaxxed. If there are people dying in the streets it might convince a few more, but otherwise this is nothing but people puppet theater. The people who choose vaccine should be happy with this choice because they are protected and want to kill the “antivaxxers”, opening up will help facilitate this goal, at least to some small degree. The angivaxxers just want to be left the fuk alone and take their chances with the virus. Seems like a simple win win solution.

It makes you wonder why there needs to be all these media campaigns, incentives, and mandates for those few while cracking down hard on censorship on those of differing opinions.

Do these people not have kids or ever see kids? Kids can't be vaccinated yet. This also doesn't factor in the people with fake vax status to keep their jobs. Do people have any regard for those that can't get vaxed due to immune system issues or allergies.

That's not really saying a whole lot. Most hospitals operate at capacity due to budget constraints, but mostly due to the obesity epidemic. Corona patients still make up less than 1% of patients. A statistic that's constantly overlooked.

"vaccinated folks can still become infected and spread it at the same level as unvaccinated folks."[/QUOTE]

They “can” but that doesn’t mean on average they do. The best evidence we have suggests the vaccines still reduce risk of infection.

While the effectiveness of the vaccines in preventing infection has gone down considerably with Delta, and looks to still be waning, vaccination still reduces the odds of infection and thus transmission.

People mistook the “same viral loads” data (which btw a much larger study did not find) to mean that vaccinated hosts are as likely to transmit the virus on average as an unvaccinated. That is not true, because they are less likely to be be infected in the first place, even with Delta. There are other reasons too.

Eating a lot of double cheese burgers will make one fat and eventually obese. That's not healthy or good for longevity. I don't think one needs to be fat or obese to lift heavy.

I am pretty sure there are many people pro vaccine that also hold a high level of education.

Local medical facilities have worked together to bring us vax mandates. If you refuse vax, you're fired. If you leave your job, you have no where to go in your field of work since they all require it.

So much for inclusion and diversity, their core values.

You only get fat and obese if you do it everyday and slack on training, when one is in the middle of an intense program having an eating contest is fun and the calories are well used in the gym.

It’s not the healthiest thing but I’ve seen guys in the 80s who did this stuff, they held national records and here they are pushing age 70 and are lean.
