Not to worry. Probably soon our smart phones will have a covid app communicating to our social scores.

Your parents consented for you, just like they did with nearly every other thing that happened to you at that age. We're your parent's jobs threatened if you weren't vaccinated?
I think the biggest problem with this mandate is the finger wagging “you will comply” aspect. If the goal is compliance, why not use incentives? Maybe another round of stimulus checks for only the vaccinated? Or maybe take away access to federal benefits, loans, subsidies, etc.? This whole thing screams of authoritarianism more than a sincere hope for compliance.
You and I are on the same page. My point was this doesn’t feel like a legitimate attempt at public health. It’s authoritarianism disguised as concern. If they really thought this was necessary then there are much more effective ways of getting there. So if it doesn’t appear to be a good faith goal, what is it? Is it Biden’s way of sticking it to conservatives?The only thing that would incentivize me is the government providing a realistic reason why I would want to get vaccinated, when I'm not in the target group to worry about the disease and my not getting it doesn't affect anyone but myself. They would have to stop their campaign of censoring information and get social media and the media to do the same. At that point I might consider getting the jab, but probably still wouldn't as again, I'm not in the target group to worry about it.

Everybody knows, whether they admit it or not, something has been really off with the whole covid thing and everything else frankly. I don't know what it is exactly but something is off. Great reset, deep state, pop control, pending alien invasion, lol don't know, but sumpin ain't rightYou and I are on the same page.

The odd thing is how so many countries are basically playing follow the leader with this .Everybody knows, whether they admit it or not, something has been really off with the whole covid thing and everything else frankly.

Maybe the vaccinations are just meat injections to make us tender for them.pending alien invasion
"To Serve Man"Maybe the vaccinations are just meat injections to make us tender for them.
I, for one, will NOT be tenderized!
It's a flavorizer lol.Maybe the vaccinations are just meat injections to make us tender for them.

I'd prefer for them to simply be honest about the situation and provide a logical explanation as to why it is so critical that those with so little chance of getting seriously ill should sign up for a jab surrounded by so much obvious misinformation.I think the biggest problem with this mandate is the finger wagging “you will comply” aspect.

Monkey see, monkey do.The world wide

The Western "Democracies" are basically marching towards totalitarianism one after another.
You’ve illustrated my point. Parents haven’t balked at the polio vaccine because the disease was a legitimate threat and the vaccine was demonstrated to be effective. The severity of COVID among healthy youth and adults is questionable and the efficacy of the vaccines is as well.You mean that polio vaccine that most of us got before we could consent?
It's a flavorizer lol.
Most parents don’t balk at the polio vaccine anymore, is a more correct summation. There was hesitancy and missteps at the beginning of that campaign.You’ve illustrated my point. Parents haven’t balked at the polio vaccine because the disease was a legitimate threat and the vaccine was demonstrated to be effective. The severity of COVID among healthy youth and adults is questionable and the efficacy of the vaccines is as well.
Immediately following the government’s licensing of the Salk vaccine, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis contracted with private drug companies for US$9 million worth of vaccine (around $87 million today) – about 90% of the stock. They planned to provide it free to the country’s first and second graders. But just two weeks after the first doses were administered, the Public Health Service reported that six inoculated children had come down with polio.
As the number of such incidents grew, it became clear that some of the shots were causing the disease they were meant to prevent. A single lab had inadvertently released adulterated doses.
After considerable fumbling and outright denial, Surgeon General Leonard Steele first pulled all tainted vaccine off the market. Then, less than a month after the initial inoculations, the U.S. shut down distribution entirely. It wasn’t until the introduction of a new polio vaccine in 1960, created by Albert Sabin, that public trust returned.
