…or what? That’s where this argument breaks down - get jabbed or what? I’m sorry that some of the regulations affected your day-to-day - I’m in the UK and I hate to break this to you, but people were just fine. As far as NHS workers are concerned, yeah, I expect my healthcare providers to be fully vaccinated. If they refuse, they need to find a different line of employment. It’s 100% part of the job to be immunised against the diseases you’re supposed to be treating. If you cannot do that, it’s time to find a new job. As for concerts and other social gatherings, those are not necessities. I haven’t gone to a full-blown concert in years - not because of COVID but because it’s not one of my interests. Absolutely nothing changed about my life throughout the course of the pandemic besides having to wear a mask and getting paid leave, I can’t complain.
Why should you care if someone else gets vaccinated or not? It makes ZERO difference to you. You can spread a virus such as covid whether you're vaccinated or not. Also these people were self testing all the time and stayed off work if they tested positive. It seems to me like you think that it's your buisiness what other people do with their own body. It's not and to try and coerce someone into getting an experimental medical procedure (to make you "feel" better) which in many cases has had serious side effects to some of those people - or they would lose their jobs seem like something Adolph Hitler would have been all for.

Seems to be a weird form of collective amnesia on the right, they act as if COVID was the first time vaccinations and masks were required of healthcare workers and members of the military. Then again, they also act like all forms of microbiology are unknowable voodoo, so it's probably just the result of bad teachers/poorly run high schools.

I *don’t* care if other people get vaccinated or not and I *don’t* care if they fail to fulfil the requirements of their employment and lose their job as a result. That’s on them - it’s their life and their decisions. I’m not going to call that “punitive”, they’re not being punished - nobody’s putting them in prison or imposing fines on them. All of their freedoms are perfectly intact. The *only* thing I found objectionable in the UK throughout the pandemic was the wave of arrests of anti-vaccine protesters - that *is* a limitation of freedom. It is the people’s right to protest and anyone who punishes people for exercising their rights should have hot pokers pressed against their feet.

Point A: It's "not a mandate" in your eyes because it's something you agree with or expect.

Point B: It's not %100 part of the job to take every vaccination that is available, or ones that do not even exist. The claim that a doctor needs to be immunized against diseases they treat doesn't make sense.

It's troubling to see government dictate what kind of medicine people must take, especially when they are doing it to doctors/physicians in lieu of their jobs. It culls and curates the medical field of independent doctors and types of thought that would yield alternative forms of treatment, and has a way of pressuring every other industry to follow the example as a "de facto standard". I see it as a kind of "controlled evolution".

Yeah that's the point. If you're going to be a medical doctor you're supposed to understand medical science. Jay and Silent Bob don't need a doctorate to sell "alternative forms of treatment." :lol:

Time to put on your tinfoil hats kids

-Covid was man-made in a lab and planned in advance
-The vaccine was made in advance
-No not everyone that has taken the vaccine has dies but enough young people have that it's suspicious and many are getting myocarditis

Not getting any vaccines ever again because I do not trust Government or entities like the CDC, Pfizer etc... who were exempt from ever having to get the vaccine. I'm unvaccinated and doing just fine and plan to stay that way, thank you.

Doctors do need PhDs. Mall rats aren't even on the spectrum. You made a funny so we can overlook the strawman.

But on the other hand, you could be right, and none of this is really a big deal.

On June 17, 2022, the FDA authorized emergency use of the mRNA Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech to include use in children down to 6 months of age.

Just over a year on, the report – which was quietly released by CDC and subsequently suppressed by the mainstream media – revealed that nearly half a million children and young adults have now died since the injections were approved for use on most children.

Over 118,000 of those deaths are suspected to be linked to the Covid vaccines’ side effects.

Despite the staggering death toll revealed in the report, it has been met with deafening silence from the mainstream media.

The latest data from the CDC has just been published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC).

The OEC is an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries and it hosts a wealth of data on excess deaths, including data from the CDC that isn’t easily available to the American people.

Doctor's generally don't have PhDs.
A PhD is a research degree, while a medical degree is a skill based degree.

The table you linked doesn't say anything about the covid vaccine. It just has excess deaths from 2023 by week.
Nothing was 'suppressed by the mainstream media'. It just not an interesting story.

The vaccine was never effective enough to eradicate covid. Not saying the vaccine is bad, but initial claims that the vaccine would prevent you from catching and spreading covid were always wrong.

I'm curious, why is it so bad for an antigen a pathogen to become endemic? Typically, when referring to cold and flu antigens pathogens, endemic status indicates less severe cases. In fact, this was a hypothesis for the loss of prevalence of SARS and MERS. Once SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV became endemic in the affected regions, cases of severe disease (SARS and MERS) dropped. This drop in severe disease occurrence then results in a drop in testing for detection. SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV then accounted for ordinary seasonal cold and flu-like disease/symptoms just as every other H-CoV in common circulation. This drop in testing for detection has not occurred for SARS-CoV-2.

If not for antivaxxers there was a better chance of it being eradicated.

my god man, the fact you think there was a possibility if "eradication" shows you've learned nothing of the ACTUAL FACTS
and still can't find the brain cells to differentiate between anti-vaxxers and people who just didn't want the obviously garbage toxic spike self replicating mrna clot shots..

Slay report: The figures that have been provided to the OEC by the CDC show excess deaths among American children and young adults aged 0-44 across the country by week in 2020 and 2021.

The official figures reveal that there was a slight increase in excess deaths among children and young adults when the alleged Covid pandemic hit the U.S. in early 2020.

However, with the introduction of a Covid injection, one would have expected deaths to have fallen significantly among the age group in 2021.

Instead, however, the opposite happened.

Excess deaths among children and young adults were significantly higher every single week in 2021 than they were in 2020 except for weeks 29 and 30.

But then in week 31, something drastic happened to cause excess deaths to skyrocket among children and young adults.

And official figures provided by the CDC, unfortunately, show that trend has continued in 2022.

The most recent data released by the CDC covers up to week 40, the week ending October 9th, and it should be noted that the last few weeks of data are subject to change.

But 2022 has also been a significant year for excess deaths among children and young adults.

The CDC has confirmed that there have been 7,680 more excess deaths among children and young adults in 2022 so far than there were during the same time frame in 2020 at the height of the Covid pandemic.

The year 2021, was by and far the worst, however, with 27,227 more excess deaths by week 40 following the roll-out of the Covid-19 injection than what occurred in 2020 at the height of the pandemic.

But the most concerning figures reveal that the overall number of deaths and excess deaths among children and young adults spiked since the roll-out of the Covid injections.

Nearly half a million people aged 0 to 44 have sadly died since week 51 of 2020.

This has resulted in an astonishing 117,719 excess deaths against the 2015-2019 five-year average.

If the vaccine were effective we'd be seeing less death in children instead we're seeing more. Inject yourself and your kids if you want, I'll pass.

Jings you really are pretty far down that rabbit hole now aren't you. I sometimes watch dumb people on Youtube being asked very simple questions about random stuff and they are generally quite clueless, don't know any of the answers and make todays youth look incredibly dense. I'm betting if you were to be one of those people being interviewed you would be just like the ones I've seen. It's kind of ironic and hypocritical (after reading some of your posts) how you have the audacity to call anyone a moron - do you own a mirror?

People who work for the government are one step removed from lizards.

People who go around injecting others without their consent are lizards.

The law says that valid consent must be free from coercion, so no matter how much you want to deny it you absolutely are injecting people without their consent. Otherwise bosses could say "date me or you're fired" and a "yes" would be valid consent in your view, which is absurd.

Nowhere in my employment contract does it say I may be required to take all these injections of novel genetic material. If you want to breach our legal contract then you must provide some valid reason, such as that I pose a significant risk in the workplace. But of course you can't do that because I've tested negative for Covid, and/or positive for antibodies (natural immunity, which CDC admits is superior to vaccination), and you have your 4 doses of vaccines and N95 masks protecting you, and half of your vaccinated staff are already unvaccinated in terms of ability to catch and spread the virus, which completely shatters your disingenous and fraudulent claim that the risk level of having unvaccinated people in the work place was ever unacceptably high.
