Politics Thread

Did anyone read the USA Today article that said only 1/3 out of 13,000 nurses are willing to get the vaccine? Old man, not sure how to copy and paste! This is not about anti-vaxers or even political as most of our liberal friends are the ones usually against vaccines in general

Yeah I think it is mostly about ignorance regarding vaccines and the process this one went through.

The government and these companies developing the vaccine have done a horrific job at getting the word out and educating the public about the vaccine and its safety and why/how it was able to get to market so much quicker than other vaccines. I have been saying to co-workers and family members for months that I can't understand why there isnt all sorts of marketing about the vaccine and its process and safety. Maybe I guess because they didn't know exactly when it would be ready. Maybe we will see that now and it will help since the majority of the population wont be able to get it for a while still.

You left out the small detail that it was from a survey in October, when little was known about the trials. Keep pushing that odd agenda though!

My wife is a doctor and decides not to give several.

Maybe you should change doctors.

Nope all good Bobbie. my Kids are perfectly healthy not having a couple vaccines. And yes the article was late October. I doubt the numbers will change that dramatically but whatever.

I agree with this and People with high risk should definitely get it. Maybe by next summer we will know more But I’m in zero rush to get it.

I'll get it when they tell me it's my turn. I'm not disappointed that I'm in the back of line.

Lol such a fool. Just because I think you're an idiot, doesnt mean I'm a democrat, and regardless, grouping people into silos based on political affiliation is really effed up.

You put this more succinctly than I did in a now deleted post. I find this lumping people into buckets is foolish. Stay away from words like always and never, all and none. Every person is unique, like it or not. If you are “extreme” in anything other than things like kindness, you probably have an issue.

i was just having some fun with 'ya. Unfortunately, I'm so freaking old and messed up I'll be at the head of the line.
