Are annual flu shots silly?

Without going back and following this conversation... I would just say that no flu jabs are absolutely not silly. But... In the UK they are not Mandatory and I have never had one.

I think it's a personal choice people get to make.  Have never had one, and surprise...have had flu exactly once in my lifetime, 23 years ago.  Businesses, states and/or the federal government don't attempt to mandate them either.

How much more contagious is Delta compared to the flu? How about the difference in disease severity? And can you tell me again where have boosters been mandated?

And neither are annual covid shots. Our friend outlaw here has a habit of putting the cart before the horse and then cries foul when called out for it.

I said ATTEMPTED mandates on vaccines...you know the one Biden tried to impose through OSHA that was shot down in the courts?  English mothaFa, do you speak it?  Newsflash genius, there are new variants of flu every year as well.

You first said continuous boosters are silly, but now we are back to the OSHA mandate that has nothing at all to do with boosters, and you think I'm the one that has a problem with the English language? It's almost like you're the same guy who tried to define "a few people" as being hundreds.

See there's where your synapses don't fire well...if shot 1 and 2 become mandated, you don't think boosters would be as well?  Trying to compare this to a voluntary flu vaccination is your weak argument, not mine.

Annually? No, I don't. There's nothing even remotely close to indicating that's a plausible scenario.

Then again, "those of us with a brain" don't watch Fox News where we get told things like only a few people were violent on Jan 6th, and vaccine mandates are gonna cut our workforce by 25%.

There's that false feeling of intellectual superiority again.  It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Just as I have no definitive proof it's going to happen, you have none that it won't.  But yes, a scenario like this is COMPLETELY IMPLAUSIBLE:

Shot 1 + Shot 2 = fully vaccinated, right?  Let's say the attempted mandate does get put in place surrounding being fully vaccinated, whether it's by the fed itself...the fed imposing on businesses...whatever.  Oh wait hold up now, let's just say the science then says, "without your booster you're not considered 'fully vaccinated' anymore."  

You truly think with everything we've seen over the past 20 months that THAT scenario is far-fetched?

Now we've changed from mandating continuous boosters that are never ending, to the singular form of booster, all in the span of a handful of posts. Also funny how the word mandate was nowhere to be found in the original post but now you're scrambling to shoehorn that implication in there during your back pedal. This is fun. I encourage you to keep going.

Holy ish man, you are dense. The point is if you mandate vaccinations, and then you’re not considered vaccinated without an annual booster that the causal relationship is mandated vaccines = mandated boosters to continuously consider yourself "fully vaccinated.” I hereby encourage you to eat a D.

Save the fear mongering slippery slope fallacy for your table side rant at Thanksgiving. It'll be as likely to be true as your claim that 25% of the workforce was reduced because of the vaccine mandates.

Definitely as true as my claim that you’re an insecure little man with delusions of grandeur. Enjoy your thanksgiving ****ing about conservatives…oh wait, probably will just be doing the holiday over Zoom due to Covid fears, right?

Wrong again, per usual. We're hosting and we're all boosted, as well as the in-laws. We rely on science, not Fox News. Look at this way, you've only been clowned "a few" times in the past month or so. I'm sure we can expect "a few" more to come should you decide to stay.

The hilarious part is you think you’ve "clowned” me.  Do you go and tell your bored wife about how much pOwnage you dish out on the EMB so maybe, just maybe, she’ll give you a half-hearted HJ onto your own stomach in appreciation of you "clowning” someone?  Christ dude, I’ve never met someone so insecure on this message board.

And "decide to stay?”  I’ve been here longer than you.  I get along just fine with everyone here other than VA cause he’s nuts, and you cause you’re insecure and delusional.  Have a fantastic Thanksgiving. Maybe you can all talk about how excited you are for booster 2!

Santa Cruz County reinstates indoor mask mandate

The health orders also call for masking up in private settings, including your home when people outside the household are present.

Suggestion that this would happen was written off as NewsMax trash, but will the crazy conservatives be correct again? Will the goalposts move again?  For the record, I was vaccinated back in April.

 

Former FDA commissioner says CDC will likely eventually require COVID-19 booster to be 'fully vaccinated'

So it’s 3 am ………

My friend Jack is gone.  Such a crazy virus. Some get no symptoms at all, others like a bad cold/flu, yet he tanked really hard with it ruining his lungs. He was a pretty healthy guy. 
 

Hope Mr Di finds him soon. They were great to me bringing me food and lending me much support thru all my stuff.  I will reach out later today once my daughter gets here as there maybe hysterics. I’m so sad. 
 

Still couldn’t convince my other friend to get the shot.  It’s unbelievable, really.
