FORBES
Rankings of the most trusted brands in news show that Fox News gained ground in the six months since February 2021, while rival networks CNN and MSNBC both saw declines in trust, according to research conducted by Brand Keys for Media Post, which published the results Monday.

And as S. Weaver said in the movie, "Aliens", "has IQs dropped since I was gone?"

LEGAL CITIZENS are not required to vaccinate, why should "illegal immigrants" be required to vaccinate?

This isn't a national mandate. Not all citizens are required to vaccinate. And of the ones who are told they do have to, most of them get an option to test weekly instead of vaccinate.

It has nothing to do with legal citizenship status.

So you don't care about the health of small business workers or illegal immigrants?

I hope that the food service workers that are cooking my food have received their required and mandatory Hep C vaccination, so why is this issue so contentious and polarized? Lots of vaccinations are required for various circumstances. My question is who is paying for those unvaccinated and hospitalized covid cases?

Required and Mandatory? I don't think so...

"While food service employers can offer hepatitis A vaccine to their employees if they wish, most public health authorities prefer not to make it mandatory for the following reasons: There is no evidence that food service workers are at any greater risk of acquiring hepatitis A than are people in other occupations."

Took all of 10 seconds to google that...

It won't be eradicated until they come up with something better/more effective.

Covid will eventually burn itself out after a few years as did the 1918 influenza pandemic. The exception might be if Covid 19 is a gain of function engineered virus.

I dont understand the constant reference to the borders and "all" if them coming in. You seem to be the only person that is obsessed about it. Is it fear, or something? People have been coming into this country since the beginning. I'm sure you or your parents came here. Why the prejudice toward border people?

LEGALLY... And they are typically examined for health problems...

Surely you're familiar with Ellis Island...

However, when they get sick, they should stay home and deal with it on their own. Stop putting undue pressure on our healthcare system/ workers. If you don’t trust science and the medical field enough to get vaccinated, why the hell would you trust them to get you better??

Do you feel the same about someone who ate poorly their whole life and has a heart attack?

What about non-compliant diabetics?

it's people like you that the vaccinated are now getting fed up with. You want the benefits of others being vaccinated without earning it. unless you are wearing a 95 mask while you are out and about, you risk others. it is selfish.

May I suggest this?

Yet, I am totally discussed with the egregious hypocrisy that Mandating businesses
to force employees to get Vax'd. 'OR ELSE!!'
The hypocrisy is that 644,000 Postal Employees have been exempted from the Vax
requirement, WHY, WHY WHY??? They can have as much contact with the public as
any other business employee!!! TOTAL B***S!!!

Union influence...

That's because there aren't any...

Let's see, I mentioned the border once and I am obsessed by it? OK. "Constant reference?" No, I fear for the safety of STUPID people that are so full of mass hysteria that they are running amok screaming about the sky falling because less than one percent of the unvaxxed might catch covid. My opinion is that many of you do not have faith or confidence in the vaccination and are really just worried that some of these folks that are NOT vaxxed might not ever catch Covid and make you folks feel like idiots for screaming about the injustice of those that have the freedom to refuse being vaccinated.
Yes friend, lots of folks come from immigrated families, but most likely those families came here legally. You are more afraid of U.S. citizens not agreeing with you than all those that sneak into our country with misc diseases, criminals intent on evil or just plain refusing to abide by our laws. Laws which you wish to change in order to force your fellow Americans into doing things YOUR WAY.
No, I do not care about those that die that I do not know. It is a shame, but that is life (and death) and no one gets out alive. I have a friend that asked me today as to whether or not he should get the vaccination. I told him why I got mine and told him that I think that the vaccination is a miracle, but I told him that I would not make that decision for him. I told him that he should think of all the things that might happen if he doesn't and any negative things that might happen that have not yet occurred if he was to get the shots. There is less than a 1% chance that he would catch covid and die. Pretty good odds.
But folks like those on here that ostracize others that haven't received their shots, will probably be responsible for some NOT getting the shots and possibly even dying. So, when you call folks names and get snarky in your responses, take that into consideration.
If long posts are difficult for you to read because of a concentration problem, rest easy because this one is not that important. It is just my opinion.......:)

Well...we do know one thing....if you don't get the vac, you will be dying...very soon. So you might get your affairs in order for your family.

Really?

Almost a year before the vaccine was available. Much to the chagrin of some, I'm still here...

The Biden administration gave amble time and enough vaccines for everyone in this country to be vaccinated by now. But with so many people getting misinformation about the vaccine we have another surge of cases and deaths. So do you really want to go through this every 4 to 6 months? This is not only affecting the unvaccinated but people are not getting the health care they need and some have died because the hospitals are filled with unvaccinated Covid cases. Health care workers are at the brink, and they are exhausted. This virus will not go away and its a good chance it will mutate to a strain that the vaccine may not have any effect on. This is the right thing to do, we did this with small pox and polio vaccines and they were mandated for every American be vaccinated against these horrible diseases. So I ask you, do you want to get back to a time before the virus or do you want to live with outbreak after outbreak?

Well-written post!

Wrong, once again...
