Move over Corey Booker

[jp1]

The real Spartacus just stood up. Thank goodness someone has the nerve to stand up to the evil democrats who are rounding up the unvaccinated and taking them to extermination camps.

I think being critical of a government mandate about a vaccination is a reasonable point of view.

Where is this government vaccine mandate that you speak of? And even if there were one, is it really even vaguely comparable to what happened to the Jews in nazi Germany?

[LDAHL]

This is ridiculous. Everyone knows the Democrats haven’t rounded up people and put them in camps since FDR.

[Yppej]

If you don't want to be restricted move to Florida where you can go unvaccinated onto a cruise ship aka covid incubator, get sick, and die.

It’s a general statement. If there’s no government mandate about vaccines, that makes me happy.

And at some point in the 80ish years since that happened most democrats have come to realize what a terrible mistake that was. Hopefully it won’t take the republicans that long to realize the error of supporting a treasonous attempt to overthrow the government.

Ah. So you meant in the same hypothetical manner as the perpetual fear that the government is coming to take one’s guns away.

It may also make you dead. Time will tell with the variants.

Dude, you are the one who posted about vaccine mandate. If there is no mandate, then chill.

I have had the current best vaccine. Dont know what more I can do. I will avoid crowds of hundreds or even teens, but that isn’t really new for me. I do not go to large gatherings such as concert s, beer halls, etc.

I didn’t post about vaccine mandates. I posted about someone equating public health recommendations with extermination camps.

c’mon jp, the article you linked says in headline “…Covid Vaccine mandate.”

So yeah, I’m going to think the article is about some sort of looming mandate.

[jp1]

Just because the lawmaker frets about it doesn’t make it so.

From the article:

Washington state has not imposed a requirement to be vaccinated for COVID-19, working instead to encourage people through education and enticements such as $250,000 lottery drawings.

[ApatheticNoMore]

I'm not that literate, I just look at the picture, that guy has the nerve to wear a star of david. >:(

Here we are back to mask wearing it seems. I wore a mask for a year, even I'm sick of wearing a mask just for those who won't get vaccinated or because government has failed to make adequate vaccine outreach (which frankly I think they have, but I'm tired of government making the citizenry responsible for their failures).

I often wish there was a big emoji that showed eye rolling. This is one of those times.

Do you really think I’m gonna take time to use my own precious life energy to read an article About a minor incident somewhere in USA that you post to be snarky? I mean, come on. I did you a favor by reading the damn headline.

Well to be fair you’ve probably spent more time commenting than it would have taken to read the article. And sorry if you feel it’s snark to point out that someone is comparing optional vaccines to protect their health and extermination camps. I personally find it horrifying that this is an acceptable position for Politicians in one of our main political parties to take. How any decent person wouldn’t feel similarly is beyond me. But instead I’m sure I’ll get slammed for being all judgy because people should have the freedom to not care if politicians are doing dangerous stupid things. That is certainly the case with the traitors who attempted to overthrow our government a few months ago so I’m sure it will be the case here too.

I read the story and came away with the impression that someone in state government was equating the concept of vaccine passports with the Nazi's requirement that Jews wear the yellow Star of David patches.

It seemed pretty obvious from this quote: "In an interview Tuesday, Walsh said he had been given the star by someone at the event, where most attendees were wearing one. He described some of the organizers as “deeply concerned about vaccine passports and vaccine segregation.”

Of course, whoever wrote the article and headline seems to have purposely led you astray by presenting the story in a way designed to attract the attention of people like yourself who simply hate Republicans. I think the real shame is that that's the nature of the majority of "journalism" these days.

[ApatheticNoMore]

Maybe next they can try blackface and say they are comparing it to slavery. That ought to work. It's that level of not realizing how offensive you are.

I mean if they wanted a non-offensive symbol they could just have scarlet V's or something maybe, but no they went for the "how offensive can we get"

Meanwhile it's the virus itself not the vaccine that led to mass deaths, but only 600k

But that would be Democrats attempting to show how much they've changed since the days of their antebellum glory. JP1 wouldn't start a thread about that (although I probably would). ;)

[jp1]

Personally I'm still waiting for all the people who got butthurt at the mere mention that trump was at all similar to hitler to express similar outrage that someone would dare to equate a public health effort to nazi extermination camps.

And maybe if the sad sack idiot who thinks public health efforts are the same as nazi extermination efforts would read real news instead of whatever fake-a$$ news he's been reading he'd know that his state isn't planning to implement the hated vaccine passports. But no, he's going to go with the deep concern of uninformed citizens that don't know what's actually going on in their own state. And yet some people think I'm the one led astray because I look at reality instead of unfounded fears. smh.
