    In most states if new rules are introduced you can state your decision to not comply and if fired collect unemployment. Unless there is specific language in employment manual.
    There are probably other privacy laws.

    Well here is some thoughts.

    masks do not work, we are humans and we are very dirty animals. If we want masks to work, they have to be used in a way where they don’t leak, they cover the entire face as in a face shield and they either have to be disposed of or cleaned property every time they are used, which they are never.

    the vaccine is experimental, the pharma companies see it as a great money maker, which thanks to our great federal government … they are getting study data for free and getting paid twice for the vaccine they produced. I won’t get into the provider scam, but while this is supposed to be free … we already paid for the vaccine and the supplies to inoculate people, the government provided many of our dollars to administer the vaccine and charge for the vaccine and supplies … a form of double dipping. The same goes for the $17,000 per patient that a provider can get just by claiming they are covid positive, even if they don’t have an overnight stay.

    the government lied, fuachi and brix should be going to jail and lose his tax payer pension. They lied about a lot of things that if they spoke the truth, it would have been better for us. In China, there was a poisoning of dog food a while back, they investigated the issue and executed the person responsible for killing our dogs. While this is drastic, it should be a consideration that we actually go after those who caused the death of thousands by lying in our government. The same goes for those who said certain drugs didn’t work or were dangerous. My kid was dying until an infectious disease doc was used for her care, he immediately put her on the very drugs that the cdc and fauchi said would not work, they worked and they worked for thousands, as he said a doctor who took their oath seriously will never listen to politically founded medical claims and always put the patient first.

    which brings me up to the next thought, how the hell can anyone trust the government when we were told from the start they don’t know anything when they did and knew it before it landed here? so mandating masks, destroying local economies at the same time demanding we all get a vaccine that is experimental, sure going to cause a lot of people to rightfully question what happened and why, maybe doing something that should have been done a long time ago, gutting the power of health department to close down cities and entire states without the permission of the people (that democracy thing).

    then there is the thought of science, sorry guys and gals, medical science wasn’t used, it was stifled … but because many of you parrot the ‘believe the science’ crap, you cling to the surveyed slogan about science. Doctors who studied this were shut out, YouTube, Facebook and even google have been proactive in trying to stop the truth about the virus getting out because the science is always right but it begs which science? I truly believe that’s not medical science but it is political science that has to be believed.

    Oh and a follow up, the media is talking about a study “published” in “Nature” this morning, which is part of the problem.

    They are saying that the vaccines, specifically the rna versions, will “provide years of protection from the virus”.

    first there is no study, it is speculation. There is no actual confirmation about the study and no peer review,

    the second thing is they have an interesting article about an actual study on immunity for those who had the virus, claiming it will last a lifetime.

    and third, this fits the narrative to get the vaccine into everyone as fast as possible. The president clown and our national ******* vp are going around promoting the vaccine, which i think they have other things they need to do.

    They’re already coming out and saying the vaccine is not holding its ground against the new Delta virus strain. And not just that strain, many people are becoming infected with the vaccine. Over 5000 cases in Michigan alone. In England they have a study underway that is showing that those who got the vaccine and then catch Covid have a higher percentage and a much higher percentage rate of dying. Imagine that. In Los Angeles this morning they just announced that even the vaccinated need to wear their masks went out in public once again. Because there are breakthrough cases.

    sheep! You all wanted to be sheep! Lots of people out there about to learn a very valuable lesson about trusting our current government and saying “how high” when the government tells you to jump.

    Well anyone can follow this "science" The Covid-19 vaccination has been available since February, first in limited quantities and dispensed to the highest risk groups.
    For at least 2 months or more, the supply has surpassed demand, anyone could have walked into any drug store in the US and get vaccinated, for free.
    You would have to have been living under a rock in order not to know almost all aspects of Covid-19, the vaccination debate and the pros and cons.
    Go to the CDC website and look at the percentage of the population of a given state that has been vaccinated. The highest states have not reached the 50% threshold and here is the important part, the numbers have been static for more than a month. A lot states don't make the 25% threshold.
    And the full court press is on in the media, get vaccinated or you are a selfish pig. Even Master Card has ads imploring people to get it. What business is it of theirs?
    No dice.
    15 months into this and people are no longer willing to be stampeded into anything regarding Covid-19. They have had a chance to take stock, observe for themselves the risks and outcomes and have come to a conclusion. The central theme of " I am getting vaccinated for YOUR health" rings very hollow in the minds of at least 125 million adults in the US.

    Couple of observations.

    Science has shown:

    *about 40% of the population had a T-cell immune response to C19, before C19 ever officially got to the US.
    *Patients with “optimal” levels of D3 have an almost 0 chance of hospitalization.
    *ivermectin is effective as a treatment.

    Now, WHY are these simple scientific facts not in every PSA, every CDC banner, every state and county health department publication?

    my suggestion is that the answer is found the usual way. Follow the money. The vaccines have been granted temporary emergency approval. ONE of the requirements for a vaccine to get emergency approval is that there are NO EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS. If the CDC had recognized a treatment for c19 as effective, it would have invalidated the emergency approval by the FDA. It would have ruined careers, and most importantly, egos. Aside from destroying BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS of profits.

    As far as getting the vaccine, I would recommend it to those in a high risk category, like my mother who is 92. For those who have already had it, and those in good health under about age 55, the risks do not outweigh the rewards, in my opinion.

    I did get the shingles vaccine instead, and it made me sick for a day. But C19 was a walk in the park compared to shingles. It’s worth the risk.

    I seriously doubt many companies, especially trucking companies, are going to require vaccinations. They're not even requiring in the military. This post is 10 pages of strawman arguments.

    Fun fact however: George Washington required soldiers to be inoculated against smallpox. And that's back when the vaccine was some infected pus and a sewing needle
     
    rcoy, americantrucker89 and AModelCat Thank this.
