Yes, keep beating those chowderheads with a two-by-four until they come around and straighten up and fly right. They just aren't paying attention.

There's something in what you say, but why are they doing such crazy things with respect to a disease, especially when what they preach does not work? I mean, what's the upside here, just the fun of pissing off "lefties", that isn't hard to do and not very productive anyway.

No need for two-by-fours, these morons just don't get sick fast enough:
Quote
Recent polling shows that partisanship is now this single strongest identifying predictor of whether someone is vaccinated. Polling also shows that mistrust in official sources of information and exposure to misinformation, about both COVID-19 and the vaccines, run high among Republicans.
"An unvaccinated person is three times as likely to lean Republican as they are to lean Democrat," says Liz Hamel, vice president of public opinion and survey research at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health policy think tank that tracks attitudes toward vaccination. Political affiliation is now the strongest indicator of whether someone is vaccinated, she says: "If I wanted to guess if somebody was vaccinated or not and I could only know one thing about them, I would probably ask what their party affiliation is."
And their inability to pay attention is well known here.

Well,  NYC mayor DeBlasio who leaves office nextt month and wants to run for governor, just outdid Biden forcing all NYC employees to get vaccinated or else based on Omicron danger even though the science doesn't support him yet.  Who needs scientists when political careers are on the line.

Good for him! We need such people who base their political careers on listening to actual scientists and taking their advise. Unlike the last administration. Got Bleach or horse dewormer Alan?  :P
The science for Delta does, but of course, you didn't catch that fact.

No one is going to do the research but I wonder how many Covid anti-vaxxers happily take vaccines for tropical diseases when they go on vacation to those places.

Honestly Alan, why all this worry about mandated vaccines. Countries requires all kinds of things from their citizens. Hell, the US sent over 50,000 to die in Vietnam, that seemed like a pretty big ask to me. A vaccine seems like small potatoes by comparison.

Just to show how out of touch this guy is (not DeBlasio):

Almost 70% of Americans want vaccine mandates
And:

Americans overwhelmingly support travel bans on countries where omicron has been detected, despite the open condemnation of the measure by the World Health Organization and public health experts around the world.

It will send many NYC small businesses out of business.  He doesn't care about that. His decision was political, not scientific or economic.  He wants to run for governor next year as he's leaving the mayorship. This is why so many don't trust the process and the politicians.

How many small businesses are going under because people won't get vaccinated?

Good luck with your shots.

Thanks. All of my Moderna vaccinations have hit me like a ton of bricks and this is no exception. No complaints though. I'm happy to be getting the vaccinations.

There are 183,000 businesses affected. Mayor DeBlasio has no real plan and is to go into effect five days before he leaves office.  He never coordinated it with the business community which is what every smart mayor does to keep New York's economy humming. No one really knows just how bad the damage will be as he just announced it.   But if enacted and enforced, it will kill jobs, shut down businesses, chase visitors away from NYC and hurt its economy just when it's starting to reemerge from Covid 19 downturn.  It's all political.  Too little, too late. DeBlasio's a dope.  Good riddance to him.  My guess is it will be challenged in court like Bidens' OSHA employer mandates for vaccinations and dying a deserved death as well.  I can't imagine the new Mayor starting in January enforcing it.  He'll just let it die.

All that's left of the virus is politics.  That's all everyone is talking about.  How to enforce vaccinations, whether to have mandates, etc. How it's going to affect the economy?  Look at the market.  It dropped 1000 points on Omicron.  Now it's gone back up again because it seems Omicron isn;t so bad.   That's what all the discussions are about.  Few people are talking about cases or deaths.  Most everyone is talking about getting on with their lives, going on vacation, traveling, the economy, the stock market, and the politics of mandates.  Did Mayor DeBlasio impose his new mandate because of health or his politics of running for governor of NY?  I'm surprised Fauci hasn't yet announced running for something.

My first two vaccines were Pfzer, the 2nd one wasn't fun on day two but not bad. When I got my booster, I was asked which I wanted, I asked the nurse to 'pick' (I'm not longer vaccine developer <g>), she recommended Moderna. The 2nd day was worse but nothing I couldn't handle and had made time to simply lay in bed all day. Like you, no complaints though. I'm happy to be getting the vaccinations.

James,  I thought we're supposed to follow the science and not politics.  Omnicron has not shown the danger of earlier variants. Yet this Bozo is playing politics with this by creating the most Draconian mandates in the country, all because he's running for governor of New York.  He's decided what's needed. How's that following the science?

Why do you think it's solely driven my omicron?  Or politics? Vaccine mandates work.  But here we are again - a democrat does something (pretty much anything) and you automagically assume that it's driven by political self interest at the expense of their constituents.   Listen, I'm all for freedom.  If someone wants to take a gun into a bulletproof room and aim it at their own head, be my guest.  But what's being argued for by Trumpy types is that they have the right to wander around holding a thousand-round gun with 999 blanks and one live round, and randomly pull the trigger at strangers.

Unbelievable, but that's where we are.

It's not science, it's politics.  And that adds to the suspicion of many people who then don't want to take the vaccine. Now I don't agree with them.  I've taken mine including the booster.  And you might call them conspiracists.  But then again, how many Democrats would have bet their bottom dollar that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians? Americans like conspiracies.
