    I've studied them both quite closely and have my own thoughts on them. As a result, I am deciding that the COVID jab is not for me and will not be getting it, let alone will I ever be coerced or forced into getting it, as I find that to be a disgusting thing to do to people who have every capability to make up their own mind on the matter with regard to their own health situations.

    I cannot support mandates whether or not I knew what I know about the virus and the jabs. In my mind, to force someone to undergo an invasive medical procedure against his/her will is morally abhorrent. He/she can make his/her own health decisions.

    Fair enough. You did as you saw fit.

    ;) I pray that won't be the case.

    So? Why does their decision bother you so much, especially if you happen to be vaxxed and masking and what not?

    According to Gallup, 40% of Republicans “don’t plan” to get vaccinated, versus 26% of Independents and just 3% of Democrats. In response to a more sharply worded KFF question, 23% of Republicans report that they will “definitely not” get vaccinated, compared to 11% of Independents and just 4% of Democrats.

    __________

    Independents are more vaccine averse than Democrats, but Republicans are by far the most anti-vaccine.

    Hahaha...! Your choice of stats STRENGTHENS my argument...!

    Using those death rates, RED states occupy 11 of the worst 15...!

    Thank you so much....

    The 12 Most Educated Countries in the World

    The US is 11th.

    Even Russia does better.

    The American educational model does not work.

    While the Democrats want to reform it, the GOP wants the status quo, because the lower the education level in the country, the more people vote Republican.

    An average person can easily buy a degree in Russia. Trust me, you don’t want to compare to them. But those who really went through their education system honestly do have superior math and science skills. But what does the left do about it? They send our kids to dig through the graveyard of history to tell them they are guilty of crimes they did not commit. So, give me a break, the left cares only about indoctrination. At least on the right they do want to teach your kids real sciences.

    Just because you call something a vaccine doesn't mean it's a vaccine.

    What are you up to now four boosters?

    That reminds me I need to get my monthly measles booster next week.

    And 27 of the top 50 voted for Biden....so what..!??

    You can attempt to hide the truth all you want...but a simple fact remains ...

    The higher death rates from Covid are found mainly in RED states...! Where a significant proportion refuse to be vaccinated.

    Cult followers....none of whom I am SURE would be found in this forum....!

    Anti-science? Really? Your political party believes in a variety of genders. That alone gives you ZERO room to speak about science. Pound sand.

    Do you want to see the data that there IS a “variety of genders” something that has been accepted across nearly all pacific island nations - see fa’afafine

    And although the “darker” people were initially vaccine hesitant that has now reversed and it is mostly trump supporters

    Look at the pro viral stances of “republicans” that have eschewed mask mandates and mandatory vaccines and THEN they wonder why the hard core are vaccine hesitant

    Right anybody who believes that I know that I don't need to believe it, it's a fact.

    When you can't separate facts from police you were easily indoctrinated. Have fun with that.

    What woman are being forced to have abortions?

    And furthermore what makes you think that's even a topic of this thread?

    You seem to be really hung up on that issue even when it's not remotely related to the thread in question
