It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Let’s see if there’s an all of the sudden increase “omg we just noticed this “ from hosts and the sports media in general now about how terrible he’s been this year and underperforming his contract he has .

“If [expletive] breaks out, and there’s a rise in [infections], it ain’t going to be because of something we did. We ain’t allowed to go around them,” he said. “Could be something that happens because of people here not wearing masks when they’re told to please wear your mask.”

i think he's right. Those non-mask wearers are ruining things for everyone.

images showed children from different organizations outside, enjoying things like drive-in movies and Santa’s Village. One pic is of Rizzo with an unmasked Jake Arrieta and Joc Pederson at the drive-in movie night in May.

Yes, these events are outdoors, and the children we’ve seen appear to all be wearing masks. But Rizzo’s anti-vaxx stance brings up a whole host of issues that, were I the parent of an ill child, I’d have concerns about. After all, Rizzo is a pro athlete sharing a clubhouse with more than a few anti-vaxxers, all of whom travel around the country and visit different locations on a regular basis. Just today, Johns Hopkins University reported that eight (almost all very red) states are seeing an uptick in COVID cases. Not surprisingly, seven of those eight states have lower-than-average vaccination rates.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

What else would they be but a personal choice. Does she think Josef Mengele works at Lurie Children's Hospital?

But to no avail, it appears, with meaningless canards like "personal decision" used as shields against the criticism that should be raining down from reasonable people and from any fans who actually understand the competitive disadvantage at which it places their team. Slamming your own head in a car door on purpose is also a "personal decision," but at least it doesn't endanger or inconvenience others.

The peril is coming too, with the more virulent Delta and Delta Plus variants already taking hold in the U.S. after burning a deadly swath through India and elsewhere. These COVID mutations are more easily spread, cause more rapid and severe onset and are much more likely to necessitate hospitalization. Officials warn that unvaccinated populations here are ripe for such outbreaks, particularly this fall.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Well in that on air rant, he is right in that vaccines are generally safe, effective, and if you are educating yourself othere is no reason to avoid getting the shot(s). It is good for both you and society. There is no out of pocket cost.

It is in his delivery, so definitive and condescending, where I have an issue. To me it is the same stupidity of seat belt laws. Why would you ever drive without wearing one? If you are truly objective about the whole thing, you would get your shot(s).

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

The short answer would be that you don’t believe COVID sufficiently concerning to seek out a vaccination. I’d argue that’s a perfectly valid, objective reason.

Why now are we suddenly concerned about long term effects?

This same society that indulges in alcohol and prescription drug abuse, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, etc.

Yeah our society is worried about long term effects. This same society that indulges in alcohol and prescription drug abuse, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, etc.

A one or two shot vaccine is not going to have long term impacts. It just evokes an immune response. We have been taking vaccines our entire lives. Why now are we suddenly concerned about long term effects?

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

But he is responding to the education process statement by Ross. If you truly sought out objective information, would you not come to the conclusion that it makes sense to get the shot?

-Highly effective,
-Safe, side effects suck as I know.
-Free

And sure I am not going to die from Covid, but I have two parents near 70. They have a high chance of dying. And of course you could argue for them to get their shots, but what about the variants that will spread easier if younger people do not?

We have a good shot at putting Covid to rest by people taking the sensible path.

right, when those insisting others get the vaccine are themselves overweight, out of shape, smokers, fast food addicts, etc. it's a bit hard to take it seriously when they're lecturing you on public health

This vaccine is different from others in the past, and there have been plenty of red flags with wider distribution. A less healthy person than you might not have survived four days of being as sick as you were either.

I will contrast this with my flu shot position. I never took one. I asked my primary care doctor, and he said it is a toss up because:

-the shots are not highly effective, maybe 30-60% in any given year,
-they will generally cause a negative reaction,
-I am otherwise healthy, not having had the flu since my teenage years.

The education process is simple. I am all about personal decisions, so I am not going to shame you. But my seat belt example is where I land- would you wear it in the absence of a law?
