I don’t know if you’re r-slurred or just doing a bit but the pressures on the health system trying to still manage Covid hospitalizations absolutely means y’all should be held down and jabbed. Frick your personal freedom; we should be sending those who refuse off to leper camps as soon as the vax came out.

How does this disprove that it's not serious for healthy people under the age of 49?

I don’t care about healthy people under 50 generally. 90% of our costs are everyone else. In a vacuum they’re free to do whatever they want and I certainly understand why y’all are butthurt about mandates encompassing those groups.

But we can’t discriminate with public mandates and specify a certain age or health status without significant legal or enforcement logistics challenges. So I support a universal mandate because dipshits who should get the vaccine believe they’re healthy enough to not be impacted, and they clog up the system.

I don’t frankly care about personal freedom arguments, or personal freedom in general, nor do I believe it’s the govts role to grant or preserve it outside lipservice.

Get the jab, you cute twinks

I mean this as respectfully as possible, but please keep yourself safe or move to the PRC. :marseyblowkiss:

Why? They already have everything set up. There’s still work to be done in the states.

If you want true personal freedom, buy a lot in the woods and send in your property taxes annually. If you live in my society though, you’ll conform. 💕

I agree with you about vaccine mandates, but not caring for personal freedom at all seems strange to me. Why would you want to live in a society where you have no ability to take individual risks and every person lives predetermined lives like an insect colony?

Because we already do live in an insect colony. People hyper-specialize according to their environment and people die in ways that make you wonder what the point of them being born was.

I think everyone is entitled to their agency within the set of behaviors we determine conducive to collectively surpassing God.

Folks should have the freedom to distract themselves from their inescapable mortality in any way they’d like that doesn’t hasten the demise of others. That’s always been my political philosophy.

Interesting perspective, I'm always curious to learn how other people view the world.

This was the comment to which you first replied:

Holy frick how hard is it for lefties to understand that COVID is a fairly innocuous disease if you are not fat or old?

I’m saying it doesn’t matter if it’s innocuous.

I think the other user was commenting more on how some "Lefties" (I presume they were trying to talk about Redditors and Twitter) try to use scaremonger tactics about the deadliness of COVID to get younger people to vaccinate.

As you've noted, the better message is "get vaccinated to reduce risk to vulnerable demographics" rather than "get vaccinated because you could die from COVID".

Oh. Yea, lefties are generally r-slurred and as a statist I don’t claim them even if they do land on the right conclusion on sometimes.

All of these things are true simultaneously but you belong in a camp regardless of your personal choice.
