    You sure you aren't a preacher? Because you seem to be operating in a faith-based, rather than reason-based, realm.

    Dig around at some of the posts shortly after that, I was actually one of the only ones taking it seriously early, before anyone knew what it was. Maybe check out quite a few of the other early posts while you’re at it, where almost everyone on here was also NOT taking it seriously. Hindsight 2020.

    No problem. Then don't bitch about being banned from public places.

    Don’t bitch when those businesses go under.
    I hear this a lot, but the fact is not all businesses are “pro COVID vaccination” owned. I’m not sure how great of a business model it is banning over half the population from your business. It might backfire. Like the video I just saw of a graduation ceremony with vaccinated and unvaccinated sections. The crowd was overwhelmingly in the unvaccinated section and the vaccinated section had like 5 people in it. Not everybody is down with this new brand of segregation and narcissism. The unfortunate reality is you have to share this planet with others who get to make their own decisions which may differ from yours.

    Don't worry, I won't. If those businesses are good they won't close. If it gets to be a problem, they'll stop the practice. It should be their choice.

    No, I won't stop. Businesses shouldn't be forced to put themselves or their employees at risk of ignorant idiots infecting them with a disease that killed 1 out of every 600 Americans in a year. Not when there is a simple, safe, and free solution.

    The moon landing happened. Elvis died. Earth is not flat. Vaccines prevent suffering and the needless loss of life.

    Grouping it under an umbrella with crazy conspiracy theories is a straw man tactic, and kind of just unfair. People have legitimate reasons or unanswered questions behind their decision. I’m sure over half of the population doesn’t believe those conspiracies you listed.

    Fun fact: You can get coronavirus and 15 days later win one of the hardest major golf tournaments.

    Over half the population is at least partially vaccinated. No they are not legitimate questions. Your odds of dying or killing somebody else drop dramatically when you are vaccinated.

    Very simple. It's only complicated if you believe crazy conspiracy theories.

    Ive got a son in-law whom I highly respect and appreciate how he treats my daughter and grandkids, that say's he's not an antivax dude he just not comfortable with how fast Trump pushed the mfg's and its not FDA approved. He's late 30's and says he will role the dice on being fine if he gets it. Ofcourse he and I dont see eyetoeye on this one.

    Funny, but I think you know what I meant. Maybe I should have used the word conversation.

    If they're public places, as a taxpayer and citizen he's a part-owner, so that would be very UnConstitutional.

    You, as a taxpayer and citizen are also a part-owner, and are Constitutionally Free to avoid public places if you fear getting the Harvard Wuhan Bioweapons Lab Coronavirus.

    So you see, no problem exists here. No reason for conflict.
