I wonder. We know that at least 50% of people haven't been vaccinated. Here's how this works: the ones that have vaccinated talk about it, put badges around their face, and they take the time out to discuss it with friends and family.

Those of us who aren't vaccinated have a tendency not to talk about it, many of us do not want to broadcast it, and while we think that getting vaccinated is often a foolish decision, we support the right of people to do whatever it is they want to do as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of another.

So the perception is that just about everyone we know has been vaccinated, and unless you do ask everyone you know, that assumption will remain true.

By the way, my latest reason for not getting vaccinated is "Why would I take last years vaccine for this years variant?"

I scared the crap out of a lady at my new job at a company event. She believed everyone under the sun is pretty much vaxxed and that's why its mild, I pointed out its because it evolved to not so much bury itself in lung tissue and that everyone was getting mild infections, not just the vaxxed. Then I said I'd had it in January and it was mild and I'm not vaxxed. She took a few minutes talking before she realized what I'd said, then asked nervously "wait, you're not vaxxed?" then very quickly brought the conversation to "yeah, my goodness, look at the time, I have to go" and gathered her stuff to leave the event. I got the feeling she was fleeing my "unclean" ass.

Well said! I agree with you. Unfortunately, in my case, I have either inquired about it to family/friends or they have brought it up with me, so I know most of them are vaccinated. But I 100% agree that it's everyone's right to make their own decision. To each their own as long as my rights are not infringed upon. I do feel awful for the kids though, because they're totally innocent and do not have a choice.

Kids are not making their own decisions regarding the vaccine, and thus need to be protected. I would say that for a disease that has a death rate of 0% for children, they should not be vaccinated. It doesn't make any sense due to scientific evidence. 0-4 it says that only 427 children died from Covid and another 1200 from 5-18 year olds.

If they are going to mandate or encourage children get something so drastic for a disease that is not killing them as a vaccine, then why aren't they intellectually consistent and also pulling the vaccine and preventing others from taking it if similar adverse reactions occur as a result or around the same time as the vaccine was taken?

Essentially this is was our public health officials are saying:

427 kids died from Covid in the U.S. "All kids need to get vaccinated."

A couple thousand suffer from vaccine related side effects "Everyone still need to take the vaccine."

Yeah, it makes zero sense. It's criminal that they are pushing this vaccine on children when they essentially have little to no risk of serious Covid complications. And now California is trying to push a law that gives 12-year olds the legal right to decide if they want to be vaccinated even without their parent's permission. Unbelievable!

Believe it, my dears. Please get up to speed soon on understanding psychopathy and how THEY understand and “price in” your normalcy bias. While you are making your “puzzled face” and saying “it’s crazy” and “it doesn’t make sense” they are gleefully stabbing you. Watch Kill Gates video clips as he smirks while saying we are going to take the NEXT pandemic seriously, Oh Yes Sirree Bob!

Haha! Yeah, nothing would surprise me at this point. In 20 years this generation of kids will be fantastic at social justice, CRT, and gender knowledge (not sure how many genders there are now, but I think it's something like 71 different genders). They are being indoctrinated at a very young age. It's like something straight out of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". I wouldn't be surprised if they censor/ban that book here soon. I doubt it's part of the reading curriculum in most school systems. It seems to be a foretelling of the not-so-distant future.

Not so distant at all.

I'm surprised you can still buy Orwell's 1984.

My daughter’s best friend (12, on her birthday!) was given the “choice” of getting the jab or not going on vacation. I am finding it very hard to interact normally with this family now. I will never think of them as decent again. That sucks almost more than any adverse outcomes. Another friendship injured.

Stephenie, I agree with your choice of verb: "injured." The ripped social fabric is another major vaccine injury.
