In Rich's defense Jim, we all know there's not a dime's worth of difference between Mitt Romney and Che Guevara.  wink

Maybe you should consider that fact.

The point is that there are hundreds of 1000s of healthcare workers in this nation, very well educated who seem to have taken a stance so far against getting the vaccine, up to 22% of the highly educated medical professionals have decided they believe that it may not be as safe as YOU believe it is.

You keep repeating like a parrot "I don't see a good reason as to why they don't vaccinated".  

Well you know what, that falls under the category of TOUGH NOOGIES.

Perhaps they don't need to explain it to YOU, even though you believe with all your heart that they OWE you an explanation.  

Greg doesn't OWE you an explanation either.  

Its called HIS business, and even though you think they do owe you an explanation, they don't.

It is THAT simple. 

I don't get a yearly flu vaccine.  That falls under the heading of MY business, not yours. 

We still live in a free society where the gov't can't FORCE me to put something in my arm that I don't want in there.

I answered YOUR questions above, so here's a question for you.

Do you have the capability to understand that others in society don't owe YOU an explanation for their decisions in life?

If you don't want to get sick, then YOU get vaccinated.

If you don't want to get sick, then YOU wear a mask. 

If you don't want to get sick and you see someone without a mask and you're afraid, then YOU stay away from that person.

If you don't want to get sick and you're terrified of getting sick then YOU stay home, and leave the rest of us alone.

That's pretty simple advice don't you think?

Its this simple, I don't owe YOU jack shit in life.  wink

And that should answer your simple direct question above when you ask "what is the point you are trying to make". 

Is that clear enough for YOU?  
Earlier today the subject of humor came up.  I think your reply is LOL funny.  I only asked what point you were trying to make, when you posted data showing that  a very small minority of health care providers aren't getting vaccinated1.  (Obviously the data you posted is strongly pro-vaccination.)  Instead of addressing the data, you post a 365 word rant that ends with, "Its this simple, I don't owe YOU jack shit in life."  How you got from my question to your conclusion is hilarious.

Of course you don't owe me jack shit.  Evasion and denial is your calling card.  Makes one wonder why you are participating in a discussion forum though, since you refuse to discuss anything.   

Jim

1. "8.4% of respondents, reported they would not be getting the vaccine for now. And 369 people, or 3.2% of survey participants, said they would “not ever” receive it."

p.s.  All this "I/Greg/society does not owe you an explanation" stuff is the mother of all red herrings.  No one owes me an explanation, and I certainly have never acted as if they did.  This is a discussion forum.  I posted my opinion and others are free to reply as they see fit.  Where in the name of wonder did this "we don't owe you an explanation" diversion come from?  You posted the data.  I asked a question about it.  You refuse to answer.  No surprise, and that's all there is to it.  Jim

Show me where I claimed that  you were "a proponent of late term abortions", let alone any abortions.

If I did, that was incorrect on my part. I don't believe I did.  

I said that you aren't concerned if women have abortions because that is her choice according to you.  

That is nothing at all like saying you are a proponent of abortions.

Because you strike me apathetic about isn't the same as saying you are a proponent of them.  
Well I'm certainly not apathetic about abortions.  I personally think it is a horrible event for the fetus and the mother both.  I am not going to heap hate on the mother if she makes that choice however.  

This is just like me and Covid vaccinations.  I personally think choosing not to get vaccinated is a really bad idea.  I have not here, or anywhere else, heaped hatred or guilt, or even mild pressure, on those who make that choice.

It was a joke Rich.  I used a winky face and everything.  In the context of the earlier discussion about whether Greg's post was funny, this exchange is hilarious to me.

Yes, I get your point.  But if my adult kids, wife, or parents had not already been on board with shots, I would have counseled them to get the shot.  That was the intended context of my question to you.  I could have been clearer.  Sorry to hear about your friends.

Hi Greg:

I really am sorry about your friends. 

Breakthrough cases are rare, but not unheard of.  The vaccines are at best only 90% effective.  Your friends caught Covid from someone else, and statistically speaking, as of this summer, that someone else more likely than not chose not to be vaccinated.  Protecting others, especially others in vulnerable populations, is another really good reason to get vaccinated in my opinion.   Especially important for folks without any possibility of natural immunity.

And who would heap hate on the mother?  Simply talking about abortions and what they are, isn't heaping hate on the mother.

Why are you acting like a leftist and lying to make a point?  So at least then, we've established about what I said, and that I never said anything about you, that is remotely like what I said about you.  
Rich, You are the one who brought abortion into this.   See post 30 of the “another one bites the dust” thread. I just reread post 30. It sounds to me like you were saying I am a proponent of abortion. If that was not your intention, please try to write more clearly. Jim

P.S. The giant Israeli study found that Natural Immunity is 27X MORE effective than any of these vaccines.  
Is 27X the 80% to 95% vaccine effectiveness rate even a mathematical possibility?
