Because I'm a filthy unvaccinated piece of shit, visiting my father (who entered congestive heart failure the day after his booster shot) in the hospital requires me to show paperwork of a negative covid test in the past 72 hours.
But let's be extra-stringent and make it 24 hours. Or, hell, 8 hours! I care about saving lives!
I could literally contract covid THE SECOND AFTER THE TEST. I could contract it WALKING FROM THE DRUG STORE TO THE HOSPITAL. Especially since, y'know, I'm walking through two buildings of people who are interested in COVID tests, which does something that rhymes with shmatistical shmustering.
I used to teach philosophy of law in law school. As part of it, we discussed MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail, in which he said he believed there was a moral duty to disobey an unjust law. In general, I don't believe morality is a duty anyway. And that could be part of the reason that I questioned this. I agreed that one is always morally *justified* in disobeying an unjust law, but not that one was morally obligated to do so. However, examples like this, combined with an implicit argument from JP Sears to the effect that you get yourself in the psychological habit of obedience when you quietly comply with unjust laws, is bringing me around. Speaking out, at least, is necessary.
Pro-vax, pro-mandates, anti-freedom, anti-human. You only start to care when others like you (vaccinated) are discriminated against? What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
Duh, Charlie. NOW you think it’s nuts? Now that YOU might suffer? Who cares that everyone else has been oppressed; you think it’s nuts now that YOU are feeling it. Negative IQ test, too. (Sorry for the snark—kinda).
We were told get vaccinated and back to normal, no masks, no social distancing… to begin with just one dose enough, that changed to two dose to be realy, really effective, now it’s three (four in the US) and back to masks.
If masks are effective, why vaccination? If vaccination is effective, why masks?
If each are needed, simple logic dictates the other is not effective, in which case neither are.
"The dictatorship, and the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting. It provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway."
I always say that this whole Covid circus is the consequence of the alliance of idiocy and evil. And the number of idiots is by far larger than those of evil individuals. Most people think they´re doing temporary sacrifices to gain their lives back. An increasing number of them is little by little starting to understand that this is not what they thought they signed for.
It is almost comical watching them going like "oh, I was in favour of refusing to feel fresh air and breath through a dirty cloth. I agreed to get injected with this experimental therapy. I thought it was a good idea to not get out of my 40 square metres apartment for three months to flatten the curve. Good for my health! Yes, the unvaccinated should be put down to sleep with a lethal injection, as a symbolic act of justice...But this? I test negative and I still have to quarantine? That´s nuts! Who would´ve thought this would be the outcome of those reasonable measures I previously accepted?
that guy is mad because he thought he was riding the winning horse... but now the cool, savvy, international traveler gets the full load of shots, fines, tests and bullshit and the "redneck in the RV" just happily goes about their merry way...
Complying with testing is as bad as complying with shots, lockdowns, masks or any other part of this insanity. It is all working together to get us used to it and cave to at least one part of it because once we have complied with one part, we will eventually comply with the rest of it (not all of us, but most). The same tactics were used when the TSA was introduced, going from taking off belts to shoes and then being felt up and finally the naked body pictures. It took me 8 years after it's induction to finally relent and take a flight. This time around I've put my family and friends on notice. I will not be participating in ANY of this. Not even one tiny bit. It's extremely difficult to do and I've made a few family members and friends angry, but I would rather die for my principles then lose literally everything. Our sacrifice now *may* help to hold on to some liberty for future generations. But if we aren't willing now, our posterity will live in a hellscape one can only begin to imagine. Say NO to every part of this. Be willing to lose everything and build back your lives with a bit of liberty. If we aren't willing to lose everything now on our terms, we *will* lose everything on "their" terms and we will never ever get it back in our lifetime.
"Pro vax, pro mandate, pro social distancing . . . but this is nuts?" Mr. Charlie needs to look in the mirror if he wants to know who is responsible for this kind of escalating tyranny. People like him are ENABLERS. Oh, but now things have gone too far, have they? Now you are waking up and smelling the catnip? Well, guess what, it's not going to end anytime soon. You have just kissed your freedoms and everyone else's goodbye.
The mandates = the Father, the Vaxx = the Son, and the social distancing = the Holy Spirit. The Tweet = the genuflection before the Altar of Covid. Good to know this fellow is employed by a national broadcaster. Even the most devout question the Vatican from time to time.
Yeah - but this is where they try to really rile up the vaxxed against the unvaxxed. They’ll institute a whole slew of restrictive measures for everyone and then say that life could go back to normal if only we could get to 90%/95%/100% vaccination rate. ‘If only those anti-vaxxers would wise up and listen to the science you could all have your lives back!’ That, they hope, gets the ~60% of American vaxxed adults pissed enough to support just about anything - vax passes, lockdowns of the unvaxxed, forced vaccinations, anything. Of course it is all an illusion. The govt do not want us ever returning to normal and it will be interesting to see how this progresses. Will the majority of Americans buy into the insanity once more or have we collectively turned the corner? My personal belief/hope is that for enough folks boosters have been seen as a bridge too far and many are turning more and more against the narrative. Time will tell.
It’s all theater. They know it’s bullshit. It’s just part of the campaign to ramp up the pain until we acquiesce and do what they want - which is to boost for life and surrender our freedom to the tyrannical surveillance state. Further proof we cannot comply our way out of this mess. If passengers would just stop flying for 2 weeks the airline and hotel industry would Scream so loudly the rules would be rescinded immediately. People who say they are pro vaxx and pro mandate have 2 problems: 1) they are ignorant of the fact that the shots offer no protection against infection, especially from any variant except alpha, snd thus are contributo the National ignorance about those facts, and 2) they are the reason that the government keeps trying to impose more tyranny. They are encouraging the tyranny. Dumb and stupid is no way to go through life... and keep your freedoms.
We are, but you cats have the advantage of having always been ungovernable. Some of the humans are having to unlearn some bad habits in that regard. Some of the other humans are lost causes, I’m afraid.
I was at a dinner party where an obstetrician (no less) advocated for vaccinating children between 5 an 11 because they are "reservoirs" for COVID. When questioned, he increased the volume, always a bad sign. Since he has complete trust in the CDC, this may be the next plan of attack. Othering the children. Despicable.
Of course, this makes no sense since children are at almost no risk from COVID and the vaccine is not sterilizing. Vaccinating healthy children is the very definition insanity. Emergency use without an emergency. How can this be justified?
Tightening the screws on the vaxxed lest they start getting wrong ideas into their vaxxed heads. They have enjoyed their ephemeral "freedumm" for too long already.
There is one thing all libs and progressives love - govt tyranny by their guy or lady. They show it through their actions over and over again. We are led by Karen aka Brandon…
So, this propagandist has now seen the insanity since maybe it’s impacting him personally? Will he grok to the reality of the situation, or continue to think it’s the non submitters to tyranny that are the problem? Inquiring minds and all that…
Although like probably everyone here, I am anti-mandated (Covid-19) vaccinations, I have no problems at all with requiring vaccinations -- with approved, tested, safe vaccines, which excludes without limit all the Covid-19 products -- of international travellers. For over a century, many nations required proof of vaccination against (say) Yellow Fever. So nothing new there. Nor for quarantines. Most nations routines inspect plants and animals entering their areas, and as needed, quarantine procedures. Again, nothing new. Now whether it would be applied uniformly, I somehow doubt. Millions of illegals slip into our country all the time, and somehow I doubt they're going to wait two or four weeks in a camp until they're waved on.
It's sort of like an extended political game of "hold my beer." People thought the previous guy was bad? Gentlefolks, behold the Biden administration...I must admit to a really gallows-humor feeling of satisfaction. I voted for "none of the above" in the past two elections but my hatred of Biden surpasses even that which I had for Hillary. For me Trump was just textbook "when bad fathers destroy their sons and set 'em loose on the world" pathology. My pity kept getting in the way of my revulsion. And now we really do have the most incompetent and corrupt administration in history. Heck of a job, Joey...
I didn’t turn off Jimmy Kimmel fast enough. He had a monologue about the things people were saying on Fox about how Fauci was Menegele (sp?), beagle gate, funding gain of function were false attacks on a poor old man who has done nothing but serve the country night and day. Audience cheered. Good grief. I was so angry I scared the dogs.
It's time to say "NO" to this nonsense. The Brandon Administration is testing the limits of people's tolerance to see how much they can get away with, just like a 2 year old child does. Its up to us, those that are awake (versus the woke) to ignore these idiotic requests and just SAY NO!!!!

Has absolutely no one discussed this?
Good news from Belgium. The Walloon parts court has ruled the vaxx pass illegal

“pro vax, pro mandates. Pro social distancing.” You get what you asked for, Charlie. And yes, it IS nuts. WAKE THE F*CK UP.

Maybe.... it's not actually about the virus.
the only thing that sounds dumber than "I'm not antivaxx but" is "I'm pro mandates but"
That’s what a leaky vaxx gets you… nothing.
"Pro vax, pro mandate, pro social distancing . . . but this is nuts?" Mr. Charlie needs to look in the mirror if he wants to know who is responsible for this kind of escalating tyranny.

It’s almost as if vaccines don’t work…and those that do believe they work don’t realize they’ve been lied to yet.
More 'stuff' to distract from the Truth. Which is, that these 'vaxxes' do not work. Kind of a serious 'idiot test' extension.
The mandates = the Father, the Vaxx = the Son, and the social distancing = the Holy Spirit. The Tweet = the genuflection before the Altar of Covid. Good to know this fellow is employed by a national broadcaster. Even the most devout question the Vatican from time to time.

So basically I’m just gonna not take the vaccine
I know….. UGH I know…. I’m sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s just that I’m not gonna take it is all
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAAHAAHA
Wakeup call for another never-Trumper. Couldn't happen to a nicer schmuck.
Trust the science ..... of tyranny.

He's right, it's nuts, but it has been for some time. And Biden just admitted that the vaccines don't work, nor do the PCR tests. Why isn't this news?
I don't understand why this white supremacist piece of shit won't do his part to save lives.
Doesn't he see we're all in this together?
Someone in a uniform should take everything from him and hurt him.
so the vaccines are absolutely worthless
We are, but you cats have the advantage of having always been ungovernable. Some of the humans are having to unlearn some bad habits in that regard. Some of the other humans are lost causes, I’m afraid.
Goody! Just another nail in the coffin of the Democratic Party and their media minions! I’m truly delighted by their epic failures.
This is going beyond crazy.
I think it is time to treat Biden voters like the tyrannical vaxxers want to treat the unvaxxed. This is THEIR fault.
I was at a dinner party where an obstetrician (no less) advocated for vaccinating children between 5 an 11 because they are "reservoirs" for COVID.

Our President is nothing but a Traitor. Let’s face it. He would make Benedict Arnold blush.
Tightening the screws on the vaxxed lest they start getting wrong ideas into their vaxxed heads. They have enjoyed their ephemeral "freedumm" for too long already.
Another tacit admission that the “vaccines” don’t work.
Tests a day before.
Goes about normal business.
Contracts it.
Flies.
Arrives.
Walks around for 3-5 days.
Retests.
Oh, dear...
There is one thing all libs and progressives love - govt tyranny by their guy or lady. They show it through their actions over and over again. We are led by Karen aka Brandon…
The dam is breaking.
An admission that the vax is not protective enough.
Pro tyranny but surprised to find himself the potential victim. Hard lesson but will they ever truly learn?
I'm pretty certain Charlie thought he could comply his way out of tyranny.
American Authoritarianism is better than past authoritarianism.
Think democratic socialism.
Perhaps with these tiranic mandates, more people wake up. Here in Europe most people are blind too.
So, this propagandist has now seen the insanity since maybe it’s impacting him personally? Will he grok to the reality of the situation, or continue to think it’s the non submitters to tyranny that are the problem? Inquiring minds and all that…
... fyi to clueless guy... the devil doesn’t hand out brownie points... he just wants your soul...
