    I've never been told anything except about 3 dozen anonymous notifications. And im standing right next to people for hours, even inside unventilated semi trailers. So after almost 2 years of this, I hope you don't mind if I say you can take your Covid preventive measures and shove it

    That is correct unless you have proof to show otherwise.

    Natural antibodies and don't need it? It's known people can get covid more than ones. There even was a person who had 2 types of covid at the same time (and died).

    And not to worry. People can set up their own airline for the unvaxxed. Nobody is going to go all fascist and inject people who don't want to injected.... like white people did that to black people in the past (with a known rather deadly virus).

    You are wrong; you must not watch too many of the administration's interviews and press conferences.

    can't smoke on a plane either... people are in a enclosed area and they can set rules they feel protect their customers

    I think the question is, should government decide or should businesses have the freedom to be able to decide for themselves

    Well previously the conservative christians were happy that they could refuse serve to gay people who want a gay themed cake.... out of a sense that business should be free to do business with who they want. I'm licking their tears of joy when they see that such idea's can also be applied to those who refusing service to anti-vaxxers.

    if one supports freedom, they need to support the airlines freedom to choose

    if one does not agree with their choice, do not fly on their airline

    that is how freedom works

    Recurring cases are incredibly rare. Dying from a recurrence is insanely rare. I don't live life by outliers, nor should any sane human. Only people that are so scared that they are willing to give up critical thinking would follow this crap.

    Because I can't cut and paste. I have to watch the press conferences etc, and type out their words as I hear them. But the words are there for all to see.

    Like Fauci in an interview Friday with Bloomberg Quicktake: "I would encourage private enterprises to seriously consider the idea of mandating vaccination..."

    And previously the left was against the covering of women's faces; now they want to cover children's faces forever. Even hardcore Muslims didnt cover the faces of their daughters under 11. Things change.

    Getting Covid more than once is about as rare as being shark dinner, yet we never banned entering the ocean.

    this is one small step away from people having to be micro chipped to work at certain places

    as some other poster said, get a shot or get lost is not much of a choice

    Are you serious?
    Homosexuality wasn’t even legal across all of the US until 2003 — one of the current justices on the court voted to allow it to remain a crime.

    Let me know when they start locking up people because they don’t want to get vaccinated.

    Kind of like what the right was screaming at the left for four years — “if you don’t love it, leave”. Strange to see the reverse happen so quickly

    I wouldn’t say the analogy of “if you don’t like the country then leave “ is applicable here. That isn’t asking people to risk their lives to stay employed
    I’m not anti vax by the way but I can understand peoples fear. Hell I’m still scared of what’s gonna happen to me years from now after taking this brand new vaccine
    Taking random unknown drugs is serious business

    agree, but as that is not happening, not a issue

    Whipping up this fear and hysteria over something that has about the same chance as lightning to kill you, and then "strongly encouraging" businesses and people to do something based on that exaggerated fear, is coercion.

    how many died from lightning last year, how many from covid?

    Trump declared this a national emergency, said we were all soldiers in the war against the invisible enemy, and declared himself a wartime President

    As proxy for government then they resemble a fascist state.

    Wear a tie or get lost

    Get a flu shot or get lost

    Don't smoke pot or get lost

    The list of rules is endless

    I completely agree -- not sure where you personally stand on this though, but it seems this argument is ignored by many of the Democrat, liberal, or progressive persuasions when it comes to minimum wage and other such considerations. If employment truly is voluntary, much of that argument is refuted unless one is a hypocrite. Like it or not, consistency in position and argument is a problem for both major political parties and their supporters. I'm a conservative, so yes, I believe employment is voluntary. If you don't like the conditions/wage/etc, negotiate for better or find another job. So yes, I believe that employers have the right to require vaccination as a condition of employment, even though I don't necessarily like the implications.

    all really good points, but that isn't regarding putting something inside your body...i'm just wondering if they can do this, when does it stop?
