My office, for one. But you prolly mean by government. Crossing the border in Canada led to the trucker thing. To be clear, I got my third booster last month. I’m pro-vax.
Whenever someone just straight up lies about vaccines and the responses to vaccines, they always need to bring up how they’re all vaccinated and pro-vaccine.
Nothing I said was a lie. I named two examples of vax mandates. My 24 person company in the Bay Area, where we’re dominated by liberalism (whereas I’m a leftist). And the trucker convoys as a result of a mandate to cross the border. The first, you have no way to verify or disprove (although we were so disorganized that actual proof was never sought; it was a stated policy before we came back to the office in summer of 2021. The second, you’d have to have been in a news blackout to miss. I don’t understand your comment.
Work requirements are not mandates. People at the industrial half of the place where I work (I’m in the office) have to wear safety goggles. They aren’t mandated to wear safety goggles. The government isn’t forcing them to wear safety goggles. They just have to do that as a work requirement. No one forced you to get vaccinated just like no one is forcing them to wear goggles. That doesn’t mean choices don’t have consequences.
I qualified my statement as “not gov” and then followed up with a gov example. You’re arguing in bad faith. Anyway, I’m done with this thread. Hope you have a nice day.
Airplanes, trains, boats, gov employees, public service workers, private corp employees (based on gov advice - mostly office workers and sports players), all forms of healthcare workers, schools, immigrants, and military to name a few.
Wasn’t mandated enough places obviously. Your dipshit view of what freedom is gives you zero right to potentially kill people with your fucked up negligence and I’m really fucking tired of morons arguing this dumbfuckery
Who “repealed” anything? Laws are repealed. This was never law. Some organizations stopped requiring it because most people aren’t this type of moron and just got the fucking vaccine, and people like you made it too difficult to continue to be required. So yeah, you sort of got your moronic wish. People of course died for it but that’s their problem right?
If the government mandates something, it has the same weight as a law.
No it doesn’t. I don’t think this happened at all except with govt as an employer. You morons could just get a new job.
it’s hard to say
It’s actually very easy to say. The vaccine complication rate is near zero and not a single harebrained theory you idiots had has panned out. Try again
Lol, you need time to know long term effects, there still hasn’t been enough of that yet.
And yes, a mandate has as much weight as a law, it just depends who issued it. The only really difference in mandate vs law is how it’s initiated, but here, they hold the same weight.
Yes, I’ve heard of long covid. But it might as well be named “mid term COVID” as it applies typically applies to anyone who continues to see symptoms past the 3-8 month mark (this varies from study to study).
The vaccine doesn’t prevent this either though, but does seem reduce the likelihood, slightly.
We still don’t know what’s going to happen in the next 5+ years to come (with covid or the vax). These things can take a while to manifest sometimes, which is partly why vaccine testing is usually so extensively long, like 5-10 years (just not in this case for some reason).
Having it can lead to long term damage (lungs, heart, etc.) even if you survive and mostly recover.
Early on they were able to show that people who got the 2 dose initial vaccine showed protection longer than those that were sick with COVID. Again, without the risk of long term organ/system damage.
The article does promote taking the vaccine as the safer route - which is agreeable if you have co-morbidities. But long term effects of either will only be shown over time, we still need more of that
Well the top picture clearly doesn’t represent the 3rd phase of trials, as there wasn’t one when the COVID vaccine was mandated lol
Where was it mandated?
Tons of places, and Biden tried nationally but thankfully the supreme Court shut him down
My office, for one. But you prolly mean by government. Crossing the border in Canada led to the trucker thing. To be clear, I got my third booster last month. I’m pro-vax.
< 5 minute web search says that the 3rd phase was done a month after it was approved for emergency use and had favorable results, so I’m not sure what your point was.
The date given is Oct. 2021 and the trucker protests began in early 2022.
The trucker protests were excellent

But most of it has been repealed now thankfully

Thank God for the trucker protests for freedom
Why do you think all of those places repealed their mandates?
Was it because not having the vaccine killed people?

Those orgs that don’t require it anymore, didn’t drop it because “most people aren’t this type of moron and just got the fucking vaccine”
It was because we had more data, and you have to weigh the risks.
It’s still hard to say what the long term effects of either vaxxed or un-vaxxed will be
No it doesn’t. I don’t think this happened at all except with govt as an employer. You morons could just get a new job.

I won’t be deleting lemmy :)
Delete your Lemmy account. Go back to reddit and Facebook where this idiocy is at home
Do you know what the long-term effects of COVID are? Ever heard of long COVID?
Yes, I’ve heard of long covid. But it might as well be named “mid term COVID” as it applies typically applies to anyone who continues to see symptoms past the 3-8 month mark (this varies from study to study).

Because idiots like you spread misinformation to the point people were being assaulted over it AND simply wearing face masks
Not having the vaccine killed and continues to kill people. Not getting the vaccine is fucking stupid
Having recovered from COVID while following quarantine procedures is just as good as having the vax - if not better. No?
No.
Having it can lead to long term damage (lungs, heart, etc.) even if you survive and mostly recover.
Early on they were able to show that people who got the 2 dose initial vaccine showed protection longer than those that were sick with COVID. Again, without the risk of long term organ/system damage.
I’d like to say thank you for being civil and having an actual discussion lol.
Here’s a study that came out in Feb 2023 looking at vaccinated protection vs natural immunity -
Article: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/natural-immunity-protective-covid-vaccine-severe-illness-rcna71027
Study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)02465-5/fulltext
The article does promote taking the vaccine as the safer route - which is agreeable if you have co-morbidities. But long term effects of either will only be shown over time, we still need more of that
NO.
In fact you might suffer long COVID symptom which vaccinated people that avoided covid don’t have to .
