Covid in Florida

[Dave Gray]

Talking like that isn't going to help raise the vaccination numbers. It's bewildering to me why you don't understand that it's having the opposite effect.

I understand it's having the opposite effect on you.  I'm not in public service trying to encourage vaccine by being gentle.  I'm calling a spade a spade.  I'm not going to coddle your shitty opinion.  Don't get the vaccine, get COVID, do your thing.

I gots mines.

I understand it's having the opposite effect on you.

No, it's having the opposite effect on a majority of the unvaccinated. 

I'm not in public service trying to encourage vaccine by being gentle.  I'm calling a spade a spade.

It's not you job to encourage or discourage anything. Other people's vaccination status is actually none of your business. 

I'm not going to coddle your shitty opinion.

As pointed out in another recent thread. Your opinions are just as shitty as mine, just on the opposite end of the spectrum. That's why they're called opinions.

Don't get the vaccine, get COVID, do your thing.

I never said I wasn't getting the vaccine. But not getting the vaccine doesn't mean you'll get covid. LMFAO, classic liberal scare tactics.

I gots mines.

Congratulations to you and your false sense of security.

It is 100% on topic.  The cartoon is about conservatives' total aversion to accepting responsibility for their own decisions, which you display in this thread.  "I was going to do the right thing, but then You Were Mean To Me, so I decided not to.  Look what you made me do!"

I'm 100% responsible. I fully understand the risks and wish to proceed with my own decisions. If I die of Covid due to not getting the vaccine, it is unequivocally 100% my fault. Now what's your problem again?

[Spider-Dan]

I'm 100% responsible. I fully understand the risks and wish to proceed with my own decisions.

You claim you accept responsibility for your own decisions... right after you state that the reason why you're not following through on your plans to get a vaccine after it has been fully approved is because your brother and others like him are BULLYING you.  Or as you just said to Dave:

Your harassment, bullying, and ridicule is having the opposite effect.

Talking like that isn't going to help raise the vaccination numbers. It's bewildering to me why you don't understand that it's having the opposite effect.

In other words, the lack of vaccine uptake isn't because of people like you who refuse to get vaccinated... it's because of people like us who keep HARASSING you to get vaccinated!

I repeat: "Look what you made me do!"

I am done giving a shit about the antivaxers.  We need a hospital policy that says unvaccinated covid patients are triaged as lowest priority.  Wanna be a fucking idiot than be a fucking idiot, but don't occupy an ICU bed needed by a car accident victim.

[Spider-Dan]

If the anti-vaxxers would follow through on their dedication to freedom and personal choice - by not running to the evil, corrupt medical establishment when their COVID symptoms get bad, and staying home with their vitamins and prayer to fight the disease - we wouldn't be here.

But they want to eat their cake and have it too: they insist that it's their personal choice to risk getting COVID, but they also believe they are entitled to take a hospital bed (from other people who were more careful about their own safety) if they do catch it.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I am not willing to take an FDA approved vaccine because I don't trust it has been researched enough, but if I get sick I will self medicate with an unresearched horse dewormer.

I haven't refused to get vaccinated. I'll get vaccinated when I choose to make an appointment and go get vaccinated. Who cares? It's not like they're not going to run out of the vaccine. Maybe this week, maybe next week, or maybe the first of the month. Nothing anyone says will change that. It's only been fully approved for a couple days. WTF is wrong with you people?

I repeat: "Look what you made me do!"

Made me do? If I don't do anything, how can I claim you made me do something? An inaction is the opposite of an action. No one can make me do anything. That's the whole fucking point. I do what I choose to do, when I choose to do it.

For me, this has nothing to do with the actual vaccine. It has to do with assholes being an annoying pricks. If you tell someone you're going to do something at a certain point in the future and they annoy the shit out of you everyday up until that day arrives. Eventually, you're going to tell them "fuck off asshole".

[Spider-Dan]

I haven't refused to get vaccinated.

Yes, you have (and are), because you are not vaccinated.
Do you somehow believe that if you eventually get vaccinated in 2031, that means you didn't "refuse" the vaccine for a decade?

Made me do? If I don't do anything, how can I claim you made me do something? An inaction is the opposite of an action. No one can make me do anything.

YOU'RE the one claiming that the reason you're not doing it is because you're being harassed!  You do it again IN THIS VERY POST:

"You'd better stop harassing me or I'm not going to get vaccinated!"

So I guess by that logic I guess we can say Biden refused to pull out of Afghanistan because he didn't do it by the May 1st deadline . Also, anyone who didn't get the vaccine the first week it was available, we'll just say they refused it. Some of your arguments are so stupid and childlike that you can't even be taken seriously.

YOU'RE the one claiming that the reason you're not doing it is because you're being harassed!  You do it again IN THIS VERY POST:
"You'd better stop harassing me or I'm not going to get vaccinated!"

There is something really wrong with you. I literally just said in the last post that I would do it when I make an appointment and go do it. You're just straight up lying, there is no where in this thread that I've said, "I'm not going to get vaccinated." You just want to argue with someone regardless of how ridiculous your claims are.


"You'd better stop harassing me or I'm not going to get vaccinated!" is not anywhere close to "fuck off asshole", "shut the fuck up", "mind your own damn business", or just ignoring someone. It's amazing how toxic some people get when they figure out they can't control you, LMFAO...

Yes, that is how "refusal" works: if you choose not to do a thing, then you have refused to do it... up until the point that you actually do it, at which time your refusal has ended.

So since you are not vaccinated NOW, you have refused the vaccine, and are continuing to refuse it until such time that you take it, which could be a week, a month, a year from now... maybe even never!

In contrast, your clownish logic for how "refusal" works means that you technically can't say a person has "refused" something unless they're dead, because they MIGHT get it sometime in the undetermined future!

I literally just said in the last post that I would do it when I make an appointment and go do it.

So you will get vaccinated... when you decide to get vaccinated.  (But definitely not right now, because your brother harassed you about getting vaccinated.)
Therefore, anyone who claims that you're not getting vaccinated is a LIAR.  Because you totally plan to do it sometime in the undefined future!

In related news, how dare anyone say that I'm not donating all my money towards providing healthcare for the poor, after I clearly stated that I INTEND to do so sometime in the future before I die?  (That is, unless you continue to ask me when I'm going to do it, in which case I might not do it at all because of you.)  What a despicable lie!

In a way it's entertaining watching control freaks realize that they actually have no control over other people. But at the same time it's sad watching fully grown adults so invested in other people's lives.

Like I said earlier, I plan to get the vaccine. But the best course of action is that no one will ever know if I have been vaccinated or not. And if someone asks, I'll just tell them that it's none of their business.

My only opinion of the Covid vaccine going forward is. If you want to get it, get it. If you don't want to get it, don't get it. Any other questions, go fuck yourself.

Until the first time you go someplace that requires proof of vaccination, of course, in which case one of three things will happen:

1) You'll show them your proof of vaccination
2) You won't show them your vaccination record and then you'll go home
3) You'll whine at whoever is checking vax records about how your civil liberties are being stomped on.

In your case, I would sincerely and overwhelmingly expect that #3 would accompany whichever applies between #1 and #2.

I went home sick today.  I am fully vaccinated.  I have no fever just a cough, runny nose, and sore throat.  I plan to take a test tomorrow.  I wonder if I do have the common cold, should I stay home?

[Spider-Dan]

In a way it's entertaining watching control freaks realize that they actually have no control over other people.

So you're against the government compelling businesses to serve people with unknown vaccination status, right?  Freedom of choice and all.

Just kidding!  I know "freedom of choice" is code for your freedom to remain unvaccinated, not others' freedom to choose not to deal with plague rats.  Just like "freedom of religion" is code for preventing other people from getting married.
