So what is many 100, 1000, 10,000, a million? There seems to be two sides to all this and both sides play the hyperbole game.
When you say "you" who is it you are talking about. Personally I have failed to see anyone here saying it should be forced. I think both sides pro and con are all saying it is a personal choice. I have said before that there is a 1000 reasons why not to get it and there is a 1000 reasons why you should.
Given all this, do those of you who currently believe mandates should apply, still believe it's ethical to force someone to get a vaccine and punish them for not doing it?

I wish folks would just be honest and say, if you get the jab there are multiple issues that could happen that would not have been an issue without the vax. If you don't get it then there is a singular issue...covid.
Personally I will stick with the possibility of one issue versus possibly dozens of unknowns.

First, anyone can post to it and many do, so it is not an official data base other than a ton of anecdotal posts, but when you post you can click boxes that record numbers and it is those numbers people use as proof when the actual writeup doesn't really align with the boxes clicked.

Lol. I see what you did there. That was pretty cute.
It is kind of funny that prior to Dec the left screamed they would not get the Trump vaccine, Biden, Harris, Pelosi and many others all said on video that they would not trust it over and over. Then Biden won and now the same vaccines they want to go draconian on everyone to include kids.
This marks the first time South Korea recognized a causal relationship between myocarditis and COVID vaccination since the nation began the inoculation program in February.
The benefits outweigh the risks

That is one of the main complains within the elderly ladies in my zumba class that took the shot, they tell that fatigue has increased since the shot, I am talking about very active ladies over 65.
Sad, actually, plus many have now a cough that can not shake it out even with medicine.
It's not even a completely effective vaccine as you can still get COVID and so far for very few heart inflammation. If you have heart issues which no doubt is a lot of people you can see their legitimate concern.

"The severity of symptoms makes no difference" -- it does when we're discussing ethics, which is what I was referring to.
If something produces mild side effects but prevents thousands of deaths, I'd say it would be ethical to mandate that vaccine.
Since it's not, and there is a risk of death, then I say it's unethical.
I do take your point, though, and I don't disagree with your passion around being free from mandates. I just have a different view on community vs individual than most here do. I am a firm believer that community needs have a place in weighing right from wrong, at least to a degree.
But I can appreciate your stance, so thank you.

If you believe it doesn't happen, then I'd urge you to contact the CDC/FDA and see if they'll remove those warnings.

Do you think loads of people are just going on there lying? I'm sure some it happens, but not to the level where you can claim "they're all tainted."

I wonder, if all this soo call variants are nothing but the regular upper respiratory viruses that we all get during the year, but been exploited for the shot pushing and the following boosters.
Is starting to sound kind of too obvious.
I am sure that soon it will be the next variant that killer one as the seasonal flu is approaching.
How many from covid?

Not sure how I missed this post.

Yes I've had Hypertension(HTN) since my late 20s. And if you caught my earlier postings, I've had Coronavirus disease twice. Once from November 2019 till December ( when nobody knew of it yet ) and again late 2020. Actually almost a year later. Yes it stunk on ice, but wasn't any different from the flu I get every so often even after getting my influenza vax.
The only reason for my taking the vaccine is purely for traveling out of the country.
I knew the risk.
Fear mongering, like saying even though it hasn't happened yet just you wait if you get the vax you're gonna die.
How about you give some numbers proving your points.
