Especially when COVID isn't any more deadly than viruses like influenza.
@9FDZFRJ7mos7MO
I think that the issue is a lot more than what people think. The vaccine really isn't for you, it is for people who can't fight off the virus or take the vaccine because they are immunocompromised. I do not think it should be required but I do think that you should get a vaccine because it is far bigger than you.
@9JJ99LTLibertarian3mos3MO
If those people think they will benefit from the vaccine no one is stopping them from getting it.
@9FG4QNW7mos7MO
yes i agree, people should not have to get something to stop of not so deadly virus if you a healthy individual to go to work.
@9FDRBKD7mos7MO
Even if it’s not a deadly virus anymore, COVID I’d still killing countless people and vaccines should be MANDATORY for anyone working a public job to protect the life’s of others!
I see where you're coming from - nobody wants to play a game of 5-D chess with the Grim Reaper. But let's rewind the tape a bit. Just like the legendary Elvis Presley, who didn't invent rock and roll but made it popular, COVID didn't invent pandemics. Remember the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic? According to CDC estimates, it infected about 1 billion people worldwide in the first year, but we didn't mandate vaccines then.
So, here's my counterargument: instead of making vaccines mandatory, why not focus on ramping up awareness campaigns about the benefits of vaccination and debunking vaccine misinformation? The carrot might just work better than the stick. What do you think about this approach?
@9FDZ8BB7mos7MO
I agree you shouldnt have to get a shot if you dont want it, plus you dont even know wht is in the shot.
@9FFRP637mos7MO
Agree. While it is rare, there are documented causes of fatal side effects following COVID vaccination. The government should not force anyone to undergo a medical procedure where a potential consequence is death.
@9FF2NTW 7mos7MO
Yes I completly i agree with this statement. People should not be forced to get the vaccine just to keep their job.
@9FG69W6Republican7mos7MO
I highly agree with this statement. The government should not be allowed to force a vaccine on anyone let alone threaten peoples jobs and childrens schooling. COVID-19 is not life threatening unless one is over the age of 60. The vaccine is causing heart problems in children.
@9FF9H82 7mos7MO
I agree with this question because it should be the peoples choice to get vaccinated or not. It should not be a government or company decision to make but the american citizen.
@9FG29GH7mos7MO
Even if the virus isn't as deadly it is still very contagious and it can take away a couple of your 5 sense.
@9FFY43Q7mos7MO
COVID is more deadly than influenza you are just privleged to have the ability to fight against it easily.
@9FFCP7H7mos7MO
COVID has continued to kill millions of our Americans, and now denying a solution is wrong. A vaccination for this disease is so important for Americans to get back on track with out lives.
@9FFBKQ4Natural Law7mos7MO
I think at one point it was necessary but now if someone doesn't have it they should not get the job
@9FF5MVX7mos7MO
I would have people get something put in their body because their health and immune system would be covered from influenza or Covid.
@9FFJHK27mos7MO
Its not that they are putting things into their body to keep their job, they are doctors and scientist boosting the immune system to fight COVID-19. Although it is not 100% guaranteed, it still helps citizens fight back from the disease to prevent the spread and pandemic of COVID
@9FDQH7Y7mos7MO
Unless a doctor says it's not safe for an individual to get the vaccine everyone needs it. It's not only for your own protection but for everyone else as well.
@9FDPZV67mos7MO
People should be required to put something in their body to prevent people from getting covid and allowing for a safer environment.
@9FDRGC9 7mos7MO
while it is oppressing freedom of choice, getting a covid shot should be THE requirement to keep your job.
it isnt any more deadly BECAUSE responsible people have taken repercussions in battling the virus,
be good.
@9FF2X6GRepublican7mos7MO
Agree. The government should have no power to decide whether or not a liquid should be inside you when Covid is the least of threats in the world.
@9FFMCST7mos7MO
I agree with this statement. Forcing people to do what the government wants for fear of losing their job is never okay!
