If the vaccine works then take it.
I have. All three shots currently recommended.
What does it matter if someone else doesn't want to take it as long as it works for you? Why do you feel the need to chime in on other people's business? If they don't take it and they get covid-19 that's their business not yours.
Inoculations work against diseases as campaigns, and when multiple people develop an immune response that begins to suppress the number of 'open' hosts for a disease pathogen. It is all about the numbers of a population that turns the tide against an infectious disease. So a few 'hold-outs' have far more effect than just themselves and their own situation.
This is actually a good point because the disease will stick around and continue to mutate and side step the current vaccinations and continue to kill as opposed to being eradicated.
Precisely, that is why responding quickly, in large numbers, is of the essence. You don't want to give the disease time, and hosts, to mutate in.

In one day? That's fairly rapid decomposition.
However, no matter how trivial you may naively think his actions were to him or his life, his actions have potentially deadly consequences. That is why responsible authorities are taking the stance with such seriousness.
906,727 people in the US have died, with their deaths attributed to this disease, already. In Switzerland, it is 12,824 people.
The masks do not work as claimed, unless wearing n95 or above, which most people are not. Nor are these required by law.
This was known in 2020, and before.

Secondly, the science and data show that only 5% of "covid deaths" were solely due to covid. The remaining 95% of people who were listed as covid deaths had an average of four comorbidities.
Masks as filters against viral particles aren't that effective due to the size of viral particles being so much smaller than the holes in the weave.
However, masks as a medium for reducing the distance that exhaled particles will travel, have been provably effective and that is the reason for masks.

The hallmark of one losing an argument is ad hominem attacks. Your last comments here were such.
I posted the CDC data. Please address my point. The covid narratives have often been inaccurate, and not matched the data. Many policies, from mask mandates to six foot distancing and school closures, absolutely were not based on the available science. Therefore, at best it's incompetence, but there is sufficient evidence for malfeasance.

Let's try this again. 95% of "covid deaths" had 4 average comorbidities. Only 5% of them solely had Covid as a cause, meaning the numbers are extremely inflated or inaccurate at best.

If you pay the fine, it doesn't go on your record.
and, was it worth it?
You do realize that people have died from the disease.
80,000 people died of the flu in 2018, why weren't you people pushing for vaccine and mask mandates then?
The CDC were pushing for mass flu vaccinations back then.
But according to the CDC, it was only 52,000 who died of flu that year, and that had been the worst flu season in 10 years. COVID-19 in 2021 had more than 10x those deaths. There's no comparison.
Disease Burden of Flu
So 5% of the 908,571 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the US is 45,429 dead.
Covid has been manipulated for power and politics. Only the blind cannot see.
Only 5% of covid deaths solely due to covid: CDC
Comorbidities and other conditions
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The number of deaths that mention one or more of the conditions indicated is shown for all deaths involving COVID-19 and by age groups. For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death.
And what exactly are they going to spend all that maskedness on?
Where's the regime change? Where's the economic collapse? Where's the cull?
You need to leave the basement and go outside.
I disagree there. The CDC have made recommendations based upon the science of multiple papers, and expert opinions, and their recommendations therefore changed as more information came to light.
If the CDC had stuck to their initial recommendations unwaveringly, it would have been ignoring the science. Science is ever-changing and scientific knowledge accumulates, occasionally there is a discovery or change of perspective that overturns previous beliefs.
What is also occurring is public misinformation by some people who have their own theories, and distrust everyone who at one stage said something that doesn't fit their opinions. Usually these people also have no actual basis for what they feel, and when asked for verification, can only point to the very people they distrust the most.
Some of these people, even publish 'sciency' sounding papers that support their opinion. But they often disagree entirely with existing science.
This is just like the tobacco companies did to try and counter all the medical studies that showed that smoking causes numerous diseases. But these 'scientific papers' were soon revealed to be bogus. So how did we know? We already had papers that said the exact opposite thing, and we delved into the sponsors of the various papers and found that people were paid to lie.
This same technique has been used to deny climate change and other things where vested interests would loose out to real science. That is why proper peer review and academic agreement is so critical in the days of "alternate truths" and astroturfed popularity.

Did you miss the part where I said mandates?
No, I'm generally against mandates, too.
But there is so much BS and misinformation that some gullible people are extending a preventable health situation, denying it even exists, denying the most proven medicines, and denying that it could affect them, and those they love, with irreversible consequences.
Their civil disobedience has exactly the same effect as bioterrorism. I'm against that too. At least forcing people to wear a mask isn't going to kill people.
I honestly can’t believe you said that. The misinformation comes from cnn , our politicians, drug companies and people like you .
How is anyone extending a preventable health situation?
What does anyone’s beliefs have anything to do with getting covid or not? You get it or you don’t
doesn’t matter your opinions about it . No one wants lockdowns. No one wants our economy to go In the tank , no one wants our loss of freedoms .
The mainstream media and our politicians denied that ivermectin works . They all called it horse dewormer
. How many people did they kill by putting them on ventilators ?
I would call bioterrorism giving millions to the communist Chinese government to do gain of function testing. Specifically taking virus from bats and giving them to humans .
Living in a one one world totalitarian government with no freedom. Absolutely no guns or freedom of speech isn’t going to necessarily kill people either . I never got behind BLM or antifa looting and burning our cities down but I sure as hell respect people standing up for their human rights . We don’t have to take any experiments into our body no matter what our corporate overlords tell us .

However this is the situation we have with the flu. We just stay on top of the mutations with new vaccinations and the pharmaceutical companies make money, those who want a Vax get it, those that don't don't, and the spread remains under control without mask mandates or Vax mandates. Everyone is happ

Not buying that party line, thank you. The virus can go airborne and STAY airborne. That is the only thing that explains it's infectiousness. So many people have caught it that don't have a clue how it happened. Well, they breathed in the virus. Doesn't matter where it came from or now long it has been floating around. It is THERE, and if you are unlucky you will breathe in some too. Or more accurately, unless you are VERY lucky, you will breathe in some sooner or later. Why is everyone just dancing around the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus? How long can dust or smoke linger in the air? And how much smaller is this virus?
www.weforum.org...
Nope, a mask just will not stop it. Period. It's all just feel good mandates to try to make governments LOOK like they are doing something, anything, about this problem. They can't tell everyone that there is really nothing that can be done about it, now can they? Push come to shove, this will run it's course, mutations will take place, people will get sick, and some may even die from it. And there is NOTHING anyone can do about it now. The horses have bolted from the barn, and closing the door now is not going to change a darn thing.
Just get used to the idea. IMHO.
But if people don't do what is required to slow or stop the spread, then they are not going to slow or stop the spread at all. If they also congregate and create the conditions that speed and enhance the spread, while not taking any precautions, then they will speed and enhance the spread, making the situation worse. Not only that, but it take very few to totally screw up everyone else's good work.

It's now a known fact that covid-19 vaccinations do nothing to stop the spread. They only lesson symptoms. So why mandate vaccinations?
I hate the world and the people living in it, all a bunch of scared lemmings to affraid to say no to tyranny.
