Had a discussion with a few co-workers the other. A couple of them were getting their shots and recommended others do the same.
My dad went in for his shots and recommended the same. I kinda ignore the topic when it comes up or say I'm in no hurry but he will bring it up several times on a phone call or visit. He was bashing younger people for not getting it and said something like "if this were killing younger people, everyone would be lining up for the vaccine". How do you all respond when pressured by others? I am not an anti vaxxer and think most people who take it will be fine, but like the flu shot, I don't really feel bothered to take it even if the risk of side effects is small.
I didn't talk, I just listened. They were jumping on a co-worker who said he wanted to wait 6 months or so. I stayed out of it because I don't talk personal shit at work. No doubt I will be asked at some point though.
He cannot make it mandatory but the company can.
THIS I was getting to the point where my dad and I were having heated arguments over this because of the brainwashing. I got burnt out on the politics and distanced myself from it all. He's retired and often watches the news and is still being brainwashed. I just try to avoid political discussions now. He'll still bring it up from time to time as if he's trying to bait me into an argument.
Maybe it's a good thing, I don't know, I'm not a medical expert. I'm skeptical of pharma in general.
Good point. Maybe he wanted my praise and congrats, I don't know.
But then Fauci says he's not sure if the vaccinated can carry the virus asymptomatically. More bullshit conflicting info.
Yeah. Chances are, most people will be fine either way and it won't really matter as time goes on.
Right. Everyone is in a different situation. I know one guy who is 60+. His wife works in a hospital and they are around people a lot. I know someone else who works form home and has limited contact with people. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. And others are in between. Do you bet on red or bet on black? It just depends on the situation.
Right. I don't know much of anything nor do I pretend. What I do know is this: There is a virus. it's real. And it's overhyped by the media. How much is it overhyped? Who knows. It annoys me when people act like they know everything when they're just regurgitating propaganda.
