Crazy isn't it. And people wonder how Hitler got an entire country to turn a blind eye to the rounding up and extermination of people. That is a major airline CEO sounding like a Nazi.
Having our elected officials blaming the unvaccinated for spreading Covid too the vaccinated isn’t helping the situation either.
The amount of people who think unvaccinated people should be at the back of the bus is alarming, too say the least.
Like you stated earlier, Joe. The health care CEO’s feet should be held too the fire for the minimalist response they’ve done over the last 24 months during this situation. Rather than being proactive they’ve been more reactive. Rather than shore up their employees, they threaten them with termination for not bowing too their demands.

Hmmm. Interesting thoughts but I think you are missing my point. I will state that my health insurance does charge more for being over weight and the use tobacco. If you are healthier, it is cheaper. So Yes - riskier activities do cost more. Sort like drinking and driving. Yes - maybe 1 or 2 beers and I am OK to drive and I get away with it a 1,000 times, But then on that 1,001 time I get in an accident, now due to the law, I am in violation. This is how I view this virus. Gamble if you want and hopefully you and your loved ones can make it through.

I am not suggesting that you are required to get a shot. Just realize that it costing everyone more in the end. ( money, life, freedoms) As I stated in the previous post, this virus might become less of a threat in the coming years and the current shot for Covid is similar to the Flu shot.

One other thing that I was trying to point out, health insurance is like all other insurance. When there is a hurricane, everyone that has insurance with that company suddenly pays more. ( maybe not a lot ) Sorta like this, you and I have the same homeowners insurance but you live in the midwest and I choose to live on the East coast right on the beach. So when the first hurricane hits and my house gets hit, your premiums help rebuild it and then go up. I rebuild and 12 months later, another hurricane hits and the process repeats itself. And this keeps happening each year. When do you start to question why I keep rebuilding in an area that is going to keep getting hit by a natural disaster?? It's preventable and I should build somewhere else or build a stronger house but it's my right to build it the way I want and where I want. Seems logically according to what you posted earlier??

I actually live a half mile across the coastal marsh from open water on the gulf coast, not 30 miles from where Katrina made landfall. I pay my insurance premiums on a yearly basis. If a hurricane takes my house that's my insurance companies problem, that's why I pay them. They'll rebuild the house and I'll keep paying my premiums. I write the check, they provide the service, that's how it works. It's my choice, my risk, and I'm properly insured.

On a side note nobody in the midwest is paying for hurricane damage on the gulf coast, most national insurers like state farm, nationwide etc won't even write policies here post Katrina.

Merry Christmas everyone. Let's try and slow down this divide during these tough times. Everyone's Christmas is going to be different this year. Let's not start it out with name calling before it even gets started. Let's enjoy the season with the ones we still have. Put aside the politics and such. Wash your hands and be a good clean person. Respect wishes of others as you would like your wishes respected and carry on.
Very well said Dave

The notion that unvaccinated are spreading Covid is absurd. If a person is carrying and their symptoms are mild due to the vaccine, are they more likely to go to a crowded environment? Absolutely. If the vaccine works, wade into a sea of Covid and you should be fine. Pffft. Not this vaccine.

The ignore data like this study recently out of Sweden that show the vaccinated are catching it more than the unvaccinated.

It's a numbers game. Lets say the vaccination is 10% effective at preventing infection. Then even at that low efficacy rate it would be a reasonable result to see reduced transmission to the unvaccinated and vaccinated alike. The data I posted above is also somewhat a numbers game, although still troubling. It shows that there has been a 160% uptick in vaccinated infections and a 100% uptick in unvaccinated infections. Both are per 100k people. The numbers game is in that there are also far more vaccinated than unvaccinated in Sweden. So of course it's going to spread faster in the vaccinated population. That is a Forrest for the trees argument however, the real issue is that they're catching and spreading it at all, much less at such an alarming rate. Remember, breakthrough infections are supposedly "rare"

No, all of you irresponsible murderous imbeciles that won't take this experimental covid treatment are definitely too stupid to stay home if you are sick. These are simple concepts. Sheesh. :LOL:

It seems to me like these conversations should be about immune vs. non-immune, not jabbed or not jabbed. Whether your immune response is natural or artificially induced isn't really the issue, is it? Real science has shown that natural immunity is as good as, if not better than, covid treatment, including all the boosters.

As ridiculous as some of this thread has gotten, comparing the Polio vaccine to Covid 19 treatment is hands down the most intellectually stunted notion I've read.

that was a nice "feel good" piece, but not very convincing one way or the other. I think everyone who wants to get the covid shots, however many there might be, should do so. Your life, your choice I also think it's nobody's business whether I get it or not.

Although I'm not going to bother, I'm sure I could dig up a study or two or ten that claims the complete opposite. The real problem isn't Covid anymore.

Be careful now. The University of California just fired their head of medical ethics for refusing the jab and saying they need to take into consideration natural immunity. I'll say that again. A prominant University fired their long tenured Head Of Medical Ethics.

Here is what he had to say in his own words.

My take is not much to consider. I have moved on, really. Yes, sometimes there is some interesting stuff to read on the subject. Yes, I do hope this virus goes away sooner rather than later, but it is going to be here for the rest of our days. I'm not holding my breath for a real immunization for this. Coronaviruses have been plaguing humanity literally forever. We have learned to live with them all, and we will eventually learn to live with this one, too. Until then, I'm not going to stop living my life because some pinheaded government bureaucrat, big pharma, the corporate news media, academia, my neighbor, or even my own Mother says I should fall in line. Living a life with purpose is no more dangerous or difficult today than it has ever been for a free thinker.
