    Now these people want to get others to be stopped to not get vaccine against COVID, not just themselves!

    These signs are a hoot, but are sad, from those who want to assure millions more get COVID, and the associated deaths, not just themselves!

    "Save your soul! Turn back NOW!" and "The Mark of the Beast Ahead"!

    So says the protestors blocking the line of 1000s of people waiting to get vaccine.

    Holding signs didn't stop anyone from getting the vaccine. It is their constitutional right to free speech. Official overreaction to people holding signs is what stopped the vaccinations.

    Except they stopped people getting into the queue!

    These were mostly people over 70 and up.

    Try harder to stretch something that didn't happen into what you wish were the story. Your very own article states "The protesters may have caused the gates to be closed by authorities out of caution, but they didn't stop people from getting vaccinated during that time, Garcia told CNN. No appointments were canceled."

    The real lie is that the vaccine has a huge demand.

    "Not canceling appointments" is not the same as everyone got their appointmebt.

    People already spending hours in line, then the nutcases add another hour wait, with how many have to leave due to illness, work, or fear of the same people who just attacked Congress.

    And some of the people just went home rather rather be around the people who won't wear masks or take decent medical care didn't know they may wait months before they can get a new appointment.

    Sugar coating what those yahoos did doesn't exonerate nor rationalize their misdeeds. They should have been arrested.

    I dislike these people ALMOST as much as I dislike people who believe the vaccine should be mandatory.

    Yeah, because people who are rational understand that vaccination works best when we all take care of doing our part and the best way to overcome the pandemic is universal vaccination, just like it was for polio, smallpox and the hundreds of other diseases.
    Meanwhile, you get in bed with people like this when you spout ignorant memes about vaccination.
    How long do you plan to wallow in the sewer with these sort of people?

    I do not care that they don't want the vaccine, but trying to deny others the right to get the vaccine is wrong

    it's simple, if you don't want it, don't get it

    Try to get an appointment to get vaccinated. Then get back to us. My guess: You won't get an appointment until mid to late April. But, sure, there is no demand. Only in Trump world.

    While I agree with your statement, too many people are supporting the idea that those who do not get it, should be excluded from things like public transportation (air and land) public venues, schools, shopping, etc.

    "but they aren't making the vaccine mandatory' is (not said by you here) is about as disingenuous as it gets.

    I have been advised against getting the vaccine, which coincides with my belief that for some, it will do more damage than good.

    OK, Comrade. Rational people know if you donate all your excess income, then everyone has play money.

    I have as much issue with you telling people what they should do as you preventing people from doing something they want to.

    It's a pretty simple concept.

    I don't care about your herd immunity. Worry about yourself.

    That's the problem with people... They're so quick to yell fascist, then they turn around and exclaim "you can't say that" and "you must do this".

    If you want the vaccine, fine, get it. If you don't, then don't. Let people make their own decisions.

    "BUt YoUre RiSkINg mY LiFe!"

    No, I'm not. Get your vaccine, wear two masks like the WHO says, and you'll be fine.

    Or, stay home and hide. I don't care.

    That too, but they are suggesting applying it to domestic travel also, and the other items I mentioned.

    Using normal everyday activities as weapon to force people to get a vaccine, should concern you.

    I like how you selectively edit post. I think the demand is puffed up by the media like they are doing to silver. funny how you take the time to edit out my reasoning.

    we will have to see, people can't even get the vaccine right now, so nothing like that will happen for at least a year and even then doubt it will go that far

    but I can see it happening with foreign travel, as there is already a precedence for that
