So would you want people to use their own sense of what's reasonable when driving - following rules only when and if they feel like it? Or would you rather that your fellow drivers be forced in spite of any objections they might have to...follow the herd so to speak? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 7 hours ago, WestCanMan said: WTF do you think that the pseudovax actually does if it doesn't stop people from spreading the virus or dying from it, genius? What COVID vaccine does is prevent people from dying and spreading disease. I'm pretty sure the experts have determined that without vaccine and other measures that levels of sickness and death would be much much higher. I think you must live in some fantasy la la land where you expect experts, governments and of course vaccines to be like you, 100% infallibly correct 100% of the time. As for whatever else your senses may be telling you I'm quite convinced its the ridiculously warped sense you have that you live in a totalitarian state that's set the tone for everything else. It's no wonder you can't think straight about anything else. As for Trudeau coming down with COVID again I suspect he probably comes into contact with as many different people in the course of a day as many of us do in a whole month so, go figure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have you heard me talk about outlawing in-camera lobbying of politicians? Do I really sound like someone who totally trusts the government? Give your head a shake man...ffs.

Punish is too strong a word for all that's happening though. As I said there are plenty of jobs to be had, just choose one that doesn't require a vaccination. You could also create your own job, roll up your sleeves, sharpen your pencils...you know, all the things you people like to advise when someone finds themselves in an employment pickle. What, you figure the world owes you something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a fortunate side effect of me not being in hospital is the pressure I don't put on the health care system and the impact that has on others who really need it. That isn't virtue signalling, it is simple reality. Edited July 15, 2022 by Aristides 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
