Good for you.

I have no respect for his choice at all. He's a *smile* idiot.
Here is the idiot comment again. So let us look at a couple of possible scenarios here. Do you smoke/drink/drive a car?All can kill people by your actions.Your choice.But do we label you an idiot???

think you need to go back to this post and put it in context.Unless you actually agree with the sentiment?
I agree with your sentiment. A lot of people here dehumanise others that don’t agree with the pc line on vaccinations, even slight deviations from it. Others then take it further and advocate for abhorrent laws to coerce those people they dehumanise to comply.

Nope.

But you can call me an idiot all you want, for whatever reason you want. That's where free speech comes in. Go ahead, call me an idiot. I promise it won't ruin your democracy.

But you’d take it further no? Not only is he an idiot in your mind but the law should compel him to take the jab?

And sometimes doing something for others and for the greater good of society is what is required.
A global 1 in a 100 year pandemic is that time.
Says more about Liam than it does about my disdain for his choice.
Interesting comment but let us look at recent history. Sars and Mers killed 7 million back around 2007.No lockdowns etc why? Arh guess that only affected asians.and middle easterns somewhere overseas? Aids has claimed 30 million to date.np lockdowns ,abstaining from sex ? Arh guess no problem for us it is just those gay people?
Or something like I smoke even though it is killing me,passively killing others,and has been clogging our health system for years................that is doing the greater good?

He'll be back by mid-year once the money runs out. He ain't getting a job elsewhere as a member of the anti-vaccers now.

Gia, I gave up trying to have a rational debate with you a long time ago. Go poke Ant or DavidSSS, they might bite.

Try 8000 for SARS and MERS combined.

Covid running at 5 million + officially and estimated to be at least double.

Even that's extreme. There were about 11,000 cases combined and about 1,700 deaths in total.

End in areas where SARS & MERS were in the community, there were definitely lockdowns.

What a fool, an absolute fool. He wants people to respect his decision but why should people respect an anti vaxxer?
Why should anyone be forced to undertake a medical procedure they don't want or trust??

Might not agree with him, but it's his life n his choice. Not mine, or some govt *smile* kicker, or some doctors, only his. Seems there's plenty of doctors, nurses, police and other members of the general public uncomfortable with being forced to get jabbed.

Why?
He's in the extreme low risk category for being seriously affected by getting covid and it's already been well proven that vaccinated people can still catch covid and also still pass it on to others. So why should he or anyone else be forced to have the jab, or kicked to the outskirts of society?

Democracy has nothing to do with either of those, expect maybe the freedom to choose who you want to vote for in an election.
Something wrong with democracy when the Govt forces the rest of society to treat you like a leper because you don't want to get vaccinated.

We'd still have kids dying of measles today if we had the internet and social media 50 years ago.

Hundreds of other diseases n viruses too. Just think of how well the global population could have been kept under manageable control if some bunch of smart arse scientists hadn't invented all these different ways of keeping everyone alive.
Still shouldn't give Govt's or anyone else the right to force perfectly fit n healthy people to the outcast fringe of society though.
