2 ) The VIRUS mutates into a variant that can NOT be stopped by ANY vaccine and most of us DIES

Actually, most who contract Covid survive... Most, by a HUGE margin...

The numbers for people who have died of the virus are cooked and the agencies who, supposedly, advise on medical needs of the public have been shown to be biased, political and blatant liars. If you believe that a virus can be eradicated, it is you who do not rely on facts. Maybe it is, you who is the idiot.

I disagree with the content of this post.

Just to be clear, a laboratory that creates “gain of function” in viruses is making them more lethal. They are weaponizing those viruses. It is research for the purpose of biological warfare. Funded by the US taxpayers at the behest of Fauci.

If by "for political purposes" you mean "because it would likely be unconstitutional", then okay.

The new mandates affect employment rules for federal employees, federal contractors, certain health care workers, and employees of companies with 100 or more employees. If you are not in one of those groups (retirees, unemployed, employee of a small bicycle shop or restaurant, etc) then the mandates don't affect you. I assume your "illegals" are not in one of those groups.

We can agree or disagree with the mandates but we MUST have a clue what we are talking about.

The US Supreme Court also supports states that mandate vaccines, although that's not a federal mandate, it's federal support of a state mandate.

OSHA, which is a Federal department within the Department of Labor, imposes vaccine mandates for certain types of jobs, including Hep B vaccines for first responders who might be needed for collateral duty.

So yes, there is not only a history of actual federal mandates for vaccines, but the Supreme Court upholds and supports the states which impose their own vaccine requirements.

A simple, "yes, you are correct" would be sufficient. No federal mandate for school children to be vaccinated before entering school. And, George Washington ordered the military to be vaccinated and they still do. But, that is the military and they have a tendency to travel overseas where there are a lot of deadly diseases.
FYI, running around the bush does not mean the bush is not there. NO FEDERAL MANDATE.

School Immunization Requirements

NY State is not the center of the universe (although many feel it is... :icon_wink: )

Thank goodness we didn't have a population of "Karens" back then. We may be living with those viruses today if it weren't for those vaccinations that people were glad to take.

Both of those were naturally occurring viruses. Unlike Covid...

It's not political...the putting the foot down may be, but the mandate is not.
Could this new rule been handled differently, of course, by not allowing, what's so ever- nonvaxers into public situations, but that too comes across political, as we have experienced. Maybe this is our only answer.
I heard one guy on a talk show last night say... what is wrong with this country? Other countries face the same thing, but they don't react like us... they help each other and get the shot. I guess our selfishness just shines.

Many other countries believe in solving their problems through TEAMWORK. The US takes a frontier mentality about the INDIVIDUAL being the center of problem-solving. Today the US is particularly vulnerable to being split along tribal lines with respect to EVERY problem. This is due to dark media and to Facebook's software which leads its users progressively off the center toward either right or left. I am sure that there are other factors also. Those are some of the reasons that the US has reacted more in opposition to Public Health suggestions, and now MANDATES, than Europe and the Asian area countries have.

Please let me make it simple for you. He/she meant the BLACK predecessor, not the Orange one. Probably didn't want to get points for a political post, that some folks get away with.

People get away with political posts?

News to me! :icon_wink::icon_wink::icon_wink:

Not right at all. If anyone of them refuses the vaccine, they should be sent back to where they came from.

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

In the last two weeks, I have been visited by five family members that have had Covid and survived. One had it twice. Of course, they tested prior to visiting even though I did not even suggest it. I'm not worried about it. I had my shots and if I am one of the very, very few that have a break through (or whatever they call it) then I will still have had the greatest privilege of being able to visit with loved ones.

I appreciate your candor, wit and expertise. :thumbup:
