    Airplanes, trains, boats, gov employees, public service workers, private corp employees (based on gov advice - mostly office workers and sports players), all forms of healthcare workers, schools, immigrants, and military to name a few.

    But most of it has been repealed now thankfully

      Wasn’t mandated enough places obviously. Your dipshit view of what freedom is gives you zero right to potentially kill people with your fucked up negligence and I’m really fucking tired of morons arguing this dumbfuckery

        Why do you think all of those places repealed their mandates?

        Was it because not having the vaccine killed people?

          Who “repealed” anything? Laws are repealed. This was never law. Some organizations stopped requiring it because most people aren’t this type of moron and just got the fucking vaccine, and people like you made it too difficult to continue to be required. So yeah, you sort of got your moronic wish. People of course died for it but that’s their problem right?

            If the government mandates something, it has the same weight as a law.

            Those orgs that don’t require it anymore, didn’t drop it because “most people aren’t this type of moron and just got the fucking vaccine”

            It was because we had more data, and you have to weigh the risks.

            It’s still hard to say what the long term effects of either vaxxed or un-vaxxed will be

              No it doesn’t. I don’t think this happened at all except with govt as an employer. You morons could just get a new job.

              it’s hard to say

              It’s actually very easy to say. The vaccine complication rate is near zero and not a single harebrained theory you idiots had has panned out. Try again

                Lol, you need time to know long term effects, there still hasn’t been enough of that yet.

                And yes, a mandate has as much weight as a law, it just depends who issued it. The only really difference in mandate vs law is how it’s initiated, but here, they hold the same weight.

                  You ignore that not a single person was mandated to get a vaccine in a scenario where they had no choice.

                  Also you idiot, we know the long term effects of death but that didn’t stop you from pretending a hypothetical issue born of a bullshit theory should take precedence.

                    The choice was lose your income, travel no where, and gather with zero loved ones - or take this vaccine we just came out with, but havent finished testing lol.

                    It’s kind of funny that I’ve been pretty civil despite all the name calling, and you’re the one blocking me.

                    5-10 years makes sense to me

                Yes, I’ve heard of long covid. But it might as well be named “mid term COVID” as it applies typically applies to anyone who continues to see symptoms past the 3-8 month mark (this varies from study to study).

                The vaccine doesn’t prevent this either though, but does seem reduce the likelihood, slightly.

                We still don’t know what’s going to happen in the next 5+ years to come (with covid or the vax). These things can take a while to manifest sometimes, which is partly why vaccine testing is usually so extensively long, like 5-10 years (just not in this case for some reason).

                  If you knew anything, you’d know this isn’t the reason why getting vaccine approval takes so long. It takes so long because there’s a mountain of bureaucrats, lawyers, researchers, and money required to get stuff moving along. Vaccines are pretty low the totem pole for companies and the government to give a shit about, since they’re usually about prevention and not treatment. Companies and the government can’t throw everything at a vaccine to approve. The only reason the covid vaccine was streamlined was because, you guessed it, we were and are in a global pandemic. Nothing about the approval of vaccines was abnormal, it still took nearly 2.5 years.

                    I wouldn’t say they’re “low on the totem pole”, they’re supposed to be one of the most strictly regulated medical products. In part because vaccine producers can’t be held liable for anything - so extensive testing and review is needed.

                    That industry isn’t just peanuts either, it’s one of the largest industries in the world.

                    2.5 years is abnormal (and testing hadn’t finished when everything started becoming mandated). The global population was the test lol.

                    Google how long all the other vaccines we have took to get approval, ~10 years seems pretty normal, maybe not in your country though. Hopefully it never comes to this again

                  The vaccine doesn’t hang out in your body, so there’s no way that there’s going to be effects 5+ years later. Or even 5 months later. I forget the exact amount of time, but it’s out of your body in a very short time…like 24-48 hours.

              No.

              Having it can lead to long term damage (lungs, heart, etc.) even if you survive and mostly recover.

              Early on they were able to show that people who got the 2 dose initial vaccine showed protection longer than those that were sick with COVID. Again, without the risk of long term organ/system damage.

                I’d like to say thank you for being civil and having an actual discussion lol.

                Here’s a study that came out in Feb 2023 looking at vaccinated protection vs natural immunity -

                Article: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/natural-immunity-protective-covid-vaccine-severe-illness-rcna71027

                Study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)02465-5/fulltext

                The article does promote taking the vaccine as the safer route - which is agreeable if you have co-morbidities. But long term effects of either will only be shown over time, we still need more of that

                  I’ll take the time to look at these after work, but I wanted to briefly chime in.

                  Co-morbidities or not, we have been aware since the beginning (well before the vaccines were available) that some people continued to have lingering symptoms and suffered other types of damage due to having contracted the virus. For example - an athletic coworker in her early 40s contracted it August 2020, and to this day continues to have heart problems. I work in hospice, and while the numbers are lower than they were over the last few years, we still regularly get patients entering hospice due to damage from COVID.

                  I have yet to come across a patient who needed hospice services due to a vaccine.

                  If I’m going to take a “risk” on anything, it’ll be the vaccine.

                    Just out of curiosity, are the people who’re entering your hospice from covid vaccinated against it too? It’s not easy to discern if it’s the virus or the vax if they’ve had both - and the reporting on it seems shoddy. It’s possible that both can cause issues as well.

                    Anecdotally, regarding your coworker, I’ve found it around me too that it’s some of the most athletic people had the worst time with COVID (not counting elderly or people with co-morbidities). For the people I know personally, they aren’t sure if it was from COVID or the vaccine though, as they’d been vaxxed about a month prior to contracting COVID so it’s hard to tell. That also speaks a bit to as to how well the vaccine worked lol.

                    Let me know what you think of that study when you get some time

              NO.

              In fact you might suffer long COVID symptom which vaccinated people that avoided covid don’t have to .
