That thread title is highly misleading.
I guess we will see what happens. I dont think its unreasonable to suggest that any media that is right leaning will trash Biden for any action he performs, just as the left did with Trump.
I didnt think that saying he was in a no win position was that controversial. Sort of goes with the territory of being in a public job like that.
I am definitely not an anti-Vaxer. I do have trust in our scientific community. It’s much in thanks to our scientific progression that our average life span (atleast in N.A. Or maybe I should just say Canada) has continued to go up. My family and I have been vaccinated for all the “required/recommended” vaccines on the little yellow card and maintain where needed. And I’m not against the Flu vaccine as my wife (like Maestro’s) has two immuno compromised conditions and she gets the flu vaccine almost annually. For me, however, I have chosen not to (nor have we had our kids get the flu shot) because I see a variety of friends / acquaintances who get the flu shot still get sick. Makes me question how effective science can keep up with a constantly mutating strain. And maybe by complete chance, I’ve been hit once with a flu like illness and the kids also once, maybe twice in their combined 25 years. I’m taking a risk (working in insurance That’s what I assess) but so far my experience has been positive. Is it because I’m letting the 75% of those getting the flu shot protect me? Perhaps that’s a factor. I won’t argue it. I guess I could be guilted into it with enough back lash (oh ooo ... insert Wonko’s hand on my shoulder given me a talking to...difference being, I’m all ears and again, don’t consider myself an anti-Vaxer for choosing not to take the one vaccine). And if the annual flu risk posed the same impacts as this world wide Pandemic, yup, In In the line to get the shot.
That all said, My family and I will definitely choose to take the Covid vaccine (regardless of mandates) but like Wonko did suggest, by the time we’re eligible to get it, thousands if not millions of hi-risk people including those with pre-existing conditions and our brave and selfless frontine workers will have experienced the vaccine and God/Science willing the benefits of it thereby making it easier for those on the fence to be convinced to continue to do their part for the greater good of the community, country and world.
Not so much a rant, but just my thoughts (and definitely vulnerability).
It won't be mandatory, but it'll be almost forced as a mandatory vaccine.
By this I mean if you wanna go to events, or go to beer league, you'll need to prove you've had the vaccine, or have been tested within X number of days. So either get vaccinated once a yr, or get tested 10 times a yr will end up being what happens.

It was just an analogy that came to the top of my head doulos. I agree it is not perfect. conscientious objectors to war are quite a different thing. I was thinking more along the lines of someone claiming, "bone spurs".
I just get angry at anti-vaxers sometimes as we are seeing a resurgence in a few deseases that were effectively "eradicated" due to the stupidity and selfishness of others.

wife is an RN at nursing home so she will likely be one of the first to receive it but hopefully between now and then more info is available
My wife is a Public Health Nurse. There is this little tiny nagging thought in the back of my mind every day when she goes to work that she may catch the virus. You have to believe in the science and you are right, hopefully when a vaccine is available there will be more information - there will be. We have to support our front line health care workers.

" I see a variety of friends / acquaintances who get the flu shot still get sick. Makes me question how effective science can keep up with a constantly mutating strain."
- one of the things is if they got sick right away after getting flu shot, then they probably had contracted the flu a few days before so the shot wouldn't be effective for that.
- did they get the flu shot more than once and this happened each time? or did they stop getting it after 1 attempt?
- people should do their own science experiment and try it a few times, the bodies immune system is an amazing thing.
- they have been doing flu shots for quite a few years now, so there is more data available.
- the science is always evolving
I'm not an expert on this stuff, but like you guys always like to get as much info that is available.

Hi All. Thanks for all your responses.
I get all your point, and I'm glad to hear that a lot of people are positive about this. I myself was hesitant at first, but if it becomes mandatory for employees, there's only two ways it's going to be: Stay and get vaccinated or quit.
Hi. I'd rather have a world of asking lots than bitter ones. Thank you.
There's this one good read by the way http://higherpowermoment.com/things-...ess-awareness/
