    Serious question, do you believe the covid vaccine confers immunity?

    Just how long have you thought condoms were vaccines?

    Then you're mistaken...
    The covid vaccine does not prevent acquiring or transmitting the virus. Theoretically, it does help slow the transmission... but there's new data coming in that disputes that theory.

    The main benefit of the covid vaccine is the reduction of symptoms if you get the virus.

    Nope, but employees are responsible for either getting the vaccine or losing their job. This is America so they have a free choice. Me? Depends on how much I trust the shot and how much I enjoy the job and it's income. Since I trust the shot virtually 100% (virtually not completely) and I really fear the illness, which may very well be deadly for me, I get the shot every time and twice on Sundays.

    No, not according to the overwhelming experts on the subject as opposed to our experts in here. I'm a man of science so I know who to trust and who not to trust.

    No. This is not correct. Viruses have no capacity for learning. They are quite stupid. They do not adapt to anything.

    What they do is mutate sometimes when they reproduce.

    If you throw a die 100 times, the chances of you getting 100 6's is minuscule.
    If you throw a die 1 trillion times, you are almost guaranteed to get at least 100 6's.
    If you will be put to death if if 100 6's come up, you don't want to throw a trillion times.
    If you have lots of hosts, you get lots of mutations. Some of those mutations might be better suited for attacking humans.
    It's probability, not intelligence.

    OMG, there are people in here who could be called a Barfo virus.
    I think I know some, starting with Sly.
    Oh wait, I hope his majesty doesn't read this, I really hate the hole.
    I should've written this in a whisper.
    Don't any of you tell Sly or I'll have you by the gonads.

    You call me Lanny Fanny all the time and it hurts so bad that I cry myself to sleep. No, it's not the bottle of Scotch that makes me cry and fall to sleep with my clothes on.

    Only vaccine manufacturers have waived liability. If someone gets sick or worse from vaccine mandated by employer, it's a workers comp case.

    They waived liability because it was an emergency and they weren't 100% sure. Turns out they didn't really need to.

    There has been no manufacturer liability for vaccine related injuries since the 1980’s. It was implemented by Reagan. Nothing to do with covid.

    Then give up the waiver. It will increase the number of people willing to get the shot.

    They won't.
