Absolutely! I chose to get vaxed due to my age but I still got Covid. Definitely NOT asymptomatic

Read about "Mass Formation Psychosis"too. To search for it you may not want to use Google instead use "DuckDuckGo"

That "between the lines", is what got us to where we are today.

I don't understand, people would rather loose their job before getting vaccinated, but how do they intend to survive without an income ?

So true

Are you paying attention? Vaccinated folks still pass it on!!! You can’t outrun it forever unless you move to a private island

My apology
I’m sorry that I’ve taken such good care of myself my whole life by eating properly and exercising, that I’m now a bad person because I’m not vaccinated. Unless someone can tell me THE LONG TERM AFFECTS.....YOU get the vaccine......I’ll stay healthy be no putting anything foreign in my body

I’m vaxed, had horrible, scary reaction to the booster. I support your decision

Right on. I knew a 51 year old who 3 weeks ago died with Covid, but it was her diabetes, confinement to a wheel chair and kidney problems that really took her life. Just so happens she had Covid. The doctor told the family even without Covid her days were numbered.

In 2020 I had a 92 year old uncle die while hospitalized. The day before he died they tested him for Covid 3 times, each time he was negative. I'm sure they were attempting to say he died from Covid.

Because it's time for people to take responsibility for themselves. You get a hand out for a while, but at some point it stops.

Oh and the prices went up again.

How are people NOT working??

Older people decided to retire early because of the pandemic. Younger people are taking their jobs or going to school to learn their skills. Unemployment applications are lowest in decades. Starbucks need to pay more and give better benefits to attract workers.

Probably the same reason the world was in disbelief when they were told the earth was round not flat and not the center of the universe. It's called LEARNING and it comes from discovery and (sorry for the "S" word) Science. No one ever claimed science was 100% perfect.

Science (noun)
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
"the world of science and technology"

You mean like these?

"According to Glassdoor, baristas at Starbucks typically make between $10 and $15 an hour. But hourly wages are hardly what makes this company so great to work for. Starbucks also offers healthcare benefits for both part- and full-time workers, along with 401(k) matching, and discounted stock options for company shares"...

Since you asked ...

The vast majority of the sheeple are tone deaf to real scientific facts ... preferring statements from talking heads such as "pandemic of the unvaccinated" ... when we all now KNOW the vaccinated are acquiring the virus and spreading it to others whether they have symptoms or not. Just look at the fully vaccinated cruise ships being shut down. But, they love the division ... standing on their "holier than thou" towers and ****ing on those of us who choose to protect our health from the dangers of these mRNA shots. If the vaccines do anything to prevent acquisition or spread of the virus, why do the vaccinated (3 & 4 shots now) still have to wear a mask? The answer, of course, is that the vax'd can and DO spread the virus just as readily as the unvaxxed. It's not the sole domain of the unvaxxed. If you're vax'd, they say you have a better chance of not getting sick / hospitalized / dying and that appears to be true. But, getting vax'd does not stop any spreading.

Sure, an unvaccinated individual might be more likely to get sick / hospitalized. But, as a free American citizen, it is not my duty to take a treatment (shot) for something just because the hospitals are overflowing. Since it has been shown that the unvaccinated are NOT a threat to the vaccinated, staying unvaccinated is a simple personal medical decision.

The government liars and the media liars have been very successful in promoting the lie that the unvaccinated are the reason we still have covid. But, repeating a lie over and over doesn't make it true. Last year, I read so many of you here anticipating that you will be *free* of masks and able to fully engage in life with no concerns at all and just salivating over the prospects of the unvaxxed not being able to eat out or take a cruise or many other things. How's that working out for you?

I laugh at the cities that have vax mandates in order to do just about anything. Why? Because in their ignorance, they limit attendance to only vaxxed people who will then spread covid only amongst themselves. It's like people shooting in a circle. In reality, they're keeping me out and safe - LOL

So, yes, that Starbucks latte made by a fully vaccinated individual who is infected but asymptomatic and wearing a mask may still come with a side of covid. Caution: contents may be HOT.

Not good. Very bad. Forcing vaccinations does not stop the spread of the virus. State your reason why and how this could be good and your anticipated outcome of forced vaccination.

Sure give the employees even more money and benefits.........then instead of $5 for a cup of Mocha Bocha Carmel Latte it will be more like $8 to $10. That makes no sense
