It’s true that most kids don’t end up in the hospital, much less dead even if they get the Delta variant. It’s also true that we are seeing more and more kids coming down w/ the Delta variant, and a few of them do end up hospitalized.
Remember when the numbers were like that for adults? Have we learned ANYTHING yet?
Every person should have the right to make their own medical choices about their own lives.
No one has a right to make choices that endanger the lives of other people, such as innocent children too young to be vaccinated or the immunocompromised.
The first mandatory immunization was ordered by George Washington in 1777 against smallpox. So much for the “intent of the founders.” The first mandatory quarantine under the United States Constitution (which had not yet been ratified in 1777) was near the end of Washington’s second term as president, to control a diphtheria outbreak in Philadelphia.
There have been many mandatory quarantines throughout the history of our nation.
School children, international travelers, military personnel have all faced mandatory immunizations.
Any person who is eligible for vaccination but chooses to endanger the lives of others should be free to make that decision, but then they should take responsibility for that decision. They should be placed under a complete quarantine, with 100% home confinement — no exceptions, not even for “essential” errands (groceries can be delivered) — and no exposure to children.
No unvaccinated person should be allowed in any public place. Restaurants, bars or retail sellers of alcohol routinely check ID’s, as do screeners at airports. Proof of vaccine can also be checked and verified.
wellis1947 PREMIUM MEMBER less than a minute agoI can almost get behind allowing people the choice of getting the vaccine or not – as long as there are very strong restrictions on what those unvaccinated individuals are allowed to do and where they can go! It isn’t about the repression of individual freedom – it’s about supporting the common good.
The case of Mary Mallon is a case in point – google her -because she refused to cease working as a cook, the government eventually forced her to live in isolation for the final two decades of her life. – she had the “right” to refuse to be told what she could and couldn’t do to earn her living – in turn, the government had the “right” to restrict her movements.
So, yes, you have the right to refuse the vaccine!
And the government has the right to restrict your movements, accordingly. Mary Mallon established that to everyone’s satisfaction. The disease Mary spread was deadly, as is the disease unvaccinated people can spread, now.
There’s one guy who made my day today. The RWN radio jock dick farrell died of covid19! The vicious voice of denial in a long campaign of attacks on covid19 and vaccination. As about not saying bad about the dead and showing some respect, there’s no way I could hold back on such a scumbag, who certainly didn’t show any respect for the nurses and doctors who lost their lives, trying to save lives! Calling Fauci a " power tripping lying freak ". The creep has propagated misery and death with his hate and lies, since the beginning. Covid19, the hoax, shut him off! The cherry on the cake: he was encouraging people to get vaccinated, on his death bed; thank you so much A-hole… faux news will hail him a hero for that!
Just some of the things vaccines are good at dealing with. Polio, diphtheria, bacterial influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), Pertussis (whooping cough), Pneumococcal disease, Rotavirus.
And when will we be allowed to sue the makers of the vaccine for pain, suffering, and death? Oh that’s right, they refused to make it until they got federal protection against being sued for releasing experimental drugs that they did no know the side effects. One more thought, when will the federal government allow US Citizens to sue China, the CCP, the Wuhan lab, and the CDC for funding the wuhan lab, for manufacturing a deadly virus and releasing (either purposefully or accidently) it upon the US and the rest of the world?
A lot of those anti-vax noodleheads think of themselves as “pro-life,” as in protecting embryos and fetuses. But they don’t give a rat’s patooty about those who are already born.
