Vaccination refusal

My nephew's place of employment has required all of their workers to be vaccinated. I think that is a good thing. I hope more employers do the same.

We are encouraging everyone to get vaccinated by offering time off, gift cards and "EndCovid" T-shirts. Will wait till end of May to get a feel for compliance.

A private school in the fashionable Design District of Miami sent its faculty and staff a letter last week about getting vaccinated against Covid-19.

One of the school's co-founders (Leila Centner) is an anti-vaxxer.

“Even among our own population, we have at least three women with menstrual cycles impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person,” she wrote, repeating a false claim that vaccinated people can somehow pass the vaccine to others and thereby affect their reproductive systems.

They will believe that $hit is possible, but to then think a mask is useless....

The same misguided mentality believes in contrails being poisoned by the government effecting our health. To only then refute the scientifically proven effects to our environment caused by the use of fossil fuels.....

Sad truth is that before social media, people just stayed ill informed and ignorant. Now misinformation spread like wild fire.

The same people, some of 'em anyway, believe "big brother" wants to implant them with microchips in vaccine doses yet upload selfies taken on cell phones from inside the Capitol during a riot.
I'm almost ready to consider relocation.

Many police officers spurn coronavirus vaccines as departments hold off on mandates"]Many police officers spurn coronavirus vaccines as departments hold off on mandates

Police officers were among the first front-line workers to gain priority access to coronavirus vaccines. But their vaccination rates are lower than or about the same as those of the general public, according to data made available by some of the nation’s largest law enforcement agencies.

The reluctance of police to get the shots threatens not just their own health, but also the safety of people they’re responsible for guarding, monitoring and patrolling, experts say.

From what I understand the vaccine was created in a different way than other vaccines. If I remember correctly they used RNA from the virus instead of DNA to create the vaccine, that's why it was able to be quickly produced. But hey I'm not a scientist or doctor soooo.....

And also I could die in a month from covid, dunno.

If you're at all interested in the ins and outs of how this vaccine was able to be developed I recommend...the story of biochemist Jennifer Doudna The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson (the author of the Jobs biography and many others). It's actually about the development of the Crispr/CAS9 gene editing technology that is a tool for the splicing of genetic matierial that allows for the development of mRNA vaccines like the Pfizer-BionTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, (without fucking microchips). This is miraculous work done by Doudna and her team, that allows for us to be vaccinated against the Covid without having dead, or almost dead virus injected into us. Although viruses are not actually living things so they cannot be dead or almost dead things either. The technology involved is remarkable and no matter what our alt-right idiot countrymen have to say...is probably the safest of anti-viral vaccines yet developed.

But here's the deal. The more people who are infected with Covid-19, the more variants we will have to deal with down the line. The fewer people infected, the fewer variants. That alone is reason for everybody to be innoculated. Another reason, the fewer people walking around with the virus, the fewer other people will be infected, including grandma and grandpa who have a considerably more diffcult time fighting it off.

Just do it.
