Requiring the Covid Vaccine
Warrior15
Anywhere there are Titties.
And it starts. Rutgers has announced that they are going to require all students to have the Covid vaccine in order to attend classes in the Fall.

But if you think about it, this is not really out of the ordinary. If any of you have had children, you have to prove immunization for multiple things. So why not add the Covid vaccine ?
What other schools, businesses , events have announced similar requirements ? If you wanna get everyone to get the vaccine in the South, just tell the SEC fans that they have to have the shots to go to a game. Alabama will be at Herd immunity at no time.

THEM: "Everyone take this vaccine!"
US: "Oh does it protect us?"
THEM: "Yes. No. Well sometimes."
International air travel is 100% going to be requiring some kind of vaccine proof to travel by end of the year. Some countries will likely require proof as part of immigration entry requirements (certainly island countries like Australia, New Zealand and even the UK). When required, proof of vaccination will be via a phone app and likely be integrated into apps you already have. I'm sure that Apple will be at the forefront and integrate this into "apple health" or whatever they'll brand it.
Within the USA, I think it'll be hit and miss. Any private company will try to make that decision no different than "no shoes, no service" and it will likely follow the red/blue divide, so more of those kinds of restrictions in LA and NY, and probably none in the middle of the country. Very interesting will be large scale events like festivals, sporting events, as well as zoo's and theme parks. The debate will keep talk radio happy for years to come. Of course, there will be numerous legal challenges to any vaccine requirements and ultimately a case will end up at the Supreme Court, and my guess is this will be a key election topic for 2024.
I don't think it will be impossible to "live life" if you decide for whatever reason not to get vaccinated, but there are going to be limitations, both within the USA, but especially for any international travel.
PS - I personally will get vaccinated. I'm ~50 years old and in Holland it'll be my turn in June. Having a family but playing around on the side ITC, OTC, and via sites like SA almost requires it, though I guess that's a personal decision. I understand life is not without risks, but this is one I want to minimize instead of giving up the hobby altogether. It's already been 1.5 years since I visited a club or had a SA date, so it's well overdue.
Here's the thing this family is rich beyond belief and wasn't sitting in the front part that required this. They were even going to go to another game (weekday game) and he said too expensive. That one worked out because he's a big warriors fan and Stephen Curry ended up sitting out anyway last minute.
Last year pre corona they went to see the Lakers (team was healthy) and dropped 6-7 hundred on the tickets no problem. So for him to say it was pricey is like wow. Hopefully when its not such limited seating, it goes back down.
But I have chosen not to go to the games for many years now. Just not worth it to me with the parking costs (not a lot but another nickel and dime kind of thing), tickets themselves, traffic (normal years as stadium for basketball and baseball right in downtown Phx which is still far for me anyway). plus stars sit out randomly and team can have a bad game any night. Oh and baseball I find boring so that's not high on my list to begin with.
Colleges are great breeding grounds for this virus - and great places to produce variants. Students living in dorms - and eating indoors in cafeterias - can spread the virus quickly. Each college has adopted its own rules for students when they are on campus, and those rules help. But what about parties and off campus interactions?
If we didn’t politicize the virus, mask wearing, and vaccines - we would be in much better shape right now. I think we’ve gotten so caught up in our freedoms - we’ve forgotten about the greater good of our country.
In Vegas, The Golden Knight's President has said he is trying to have a full house of over 18,000 for the NHL Playoffs. The catch is one must prove they had been fully vaccinated more than 2 weeks before gameday.
- the quarantine
- having to wear a mask
- having to get a vaccine
Why is it that the Venn diagram of these groups probably looks like a solar eclipse? Don’t want stay at home, to wear a mask, or get the vaccine? Fine, go ahead. Just STFU about it and let the rest of us do us.
How’d I do, Spice?
^^^ ima bout to trow a dumpaload dumper fire party!!! Wooo Hooooo🤡😎
But...wait for it...like it or not, not everyone is going to choose to be vaccinated. *GASP*
Hey, I'm as shocked as the rest of you. After all, why wouldn't 20 something year olds, regardless of their low risks, line up to get a vaccine shot so that already vaccinated old people can feel even more safe? Sheesh, how selfish of them. 😒
Shit, in a number of states you can already go into bars and restaurants at will, with even such elementary requirements like masks loosely enforced. Florida is a great example.
...Makes me wish I was a bit less sloppy writing on my own card now that I think about it. I forgot to even write the lot number for the first dose 😅 Oops
It's not a one time shot like vaccines that are required for children to enter the school system, people wont keep up with this "vaccine" years from now , its gonna loose steam just like the flu shot does for many , the covid shot will turn into the same standing where many dont bother
Antivaxxers have brought back measles and mumps outbreaks to the US. if they get any more traction we will have the same track record as Haiti or Somalia against infectious diseases.

So if the covid "vaccine" is more like a flu shot for this strand of the coronavirus why make it mandatory if it doesnt protect you life long to rid the world of it?
And if it is made mandatory, well why isnt the flu shot deemed mandatory and why are so people okay with everyone not getting that? Why are politicians, schools, music venues, air lines all talking about requiring people to be "vaccinated" for this years, or last years or next years flu shot in order to attend?
I'm just saying why isnt and havent the same ppl been this uppity about the flu shot not being mandated? Helps the same and works the same ..... ?!?
Keep in mind that 20+% of the population represents children, for whom none of the vaccines have even been approved yet. Also, if flu vaccination rates are any indicator, the adoption rates could be well south of % in the 18-39 age bracket, which kinda' makes sense. A lot of people are not going to want to get vaccinated for something that is predominantly a Boomer Remover, especially of the Boomers themselves are already vaccinated.
My guess is that this thing stalls somewhere between 50-60%. Then we'll go through a period of time with lots of virtue signaling and PSAs encouraging more people to get the jab until finally the melodrama dies down as our vulnerable stop dying off and emergency rooms are largely clear of COVID cases. How many people go back the following year remains is very much up in the air, but once again if the flu vaccine is any indicator, it will be around 45-50% of the population.

Now I'm sure that some venues will experiment with it, but it will doubtless be short lived. More likely is that everything will calm down once enough of the scared vulnerable types feel sufficiently protected. If we were actually following the science, we'd acknowledge that only a small % of the population is seriously at risk from COVID and thus far there has been a very high vaccine adoption rate from that group.
I suppose, yawn what a pain in the ass you are
option b lol dumb fuck.
Here’s the best logic I’ve heard yet.
I have a friend who owns a small company and has an office full of staff. Maybe 10 people work in that office and there’s a dozen or so people that work remotely (traveling sales reps). He went on and on about to me about how all his employees better get the vaccine and how he would hold it against them if they didn’t. Then I asked if his wife was getting it and he said “no, she’s not because her sister is an anti-vaxxer and she talked her out of it.” I just kept my mouth shut.
My point is that’s the logic that we have to deal with today.
It's their house.
(Currently) You can't come in my house - unless you're masked or vaccinated. But you can wear your shoes.
I have friends that insist you not wear shoes in their house. I'm okay with that.
I understand my house (castle) isn't the same as a University, but the concept is the same. And the intent is the same. I don't want the possibility of the virus spreading into, or out of my house (castle).
BTW...... they are being marketed as Replacement Cards..Who needs Social Security???
