It's Monday morning and one of my colleagues just said he

[East-A-Squared]

is not getting vaccinated. He says he is 21 and his immune system is good. I asked him what if he gets Covid and he said he won't have to go to the hospital. He is a summer intern and will be starting school next week.

[JHB]

1. So how many other diseases did he not get because...

...his mom had him vaccinated, producing that "good immune system."

Didn't get polio, didn't get smallpox, didn't get....

[Blues Heron]

2. Sounds extremely selfish to me

Did you explain about doing it for others? To stop the spread? Is he afraid of needles

[MLAA]

3. Ask him how many people he thinks he will kill through his selfishness.

I’d say something ‘why do you hate your parents and grandparents?’. Did they all mistreat you?

[NCDem47]

4. I'm guessing routine annual flu shots are out for these people as well.

[MineralMan]

5. Of course. We even have flu shot avoiders here on DU.

I hope they've gotten their COVID-19 vaccinations. I'd hate to lose anyone. After my 96-year-old father died from COVID in January, I could not wait to get my vaccination.

[True Blue American]

6. He will be getting a vaccine

If he heads for College or School. My Grandson went back to Ohio U. Vaccinated, you still take a Covid test!

Schools are ignoring dumb Governors

Pfizer just approved by FDA!

[bluedevil4]

8. Right even in

Florida colleges where my niece is going she had to get vaccinated.

I don’t know what’s wrong with these people 🤦‍♀️

[East-A-Squared]

9. He goes to Eastern Michigan University. I asked if EMU

requires all students to be vaccinated and he said only for those living on campus. He said since he lives off campus, he is exempt.

[BlueIdaho]

12. I wonder how long it will be before EMU requires all get vaxxed? nt.

[yardwork]

18. Not all universities.

It depends on whether they're under control of stupid state legislators.

[Blues Heron]

7. Dude probably has a bunch of tattoos but he's afraid of a covid shot

SMDH

[East-A-Squared]

10. I don't see tattoos on him, but he is delusional.

[live love laugh]

11. The selfishness is sickening. Literally. What about spreading it?

[Stuart G]

13. Stupid is still stupid....because this fellow is basically...."VERY STUPID"

Anyone can be very stupid at any age..People who think they know ..."everything" are very stupid...even if they
seem way smart enough because of past performance...

Many examples out there ...You can name as many as you wish...Thanks for reading this...I will name just one....
...Adolph Hitler right before his invasion of Soviet Union...Hadn't counted on Russian resistance and the Russian Winter...

....Hitler was sure he would have all of the Soviet Union taken over by winter...Well when winter came, he had not done so.
Even though he had accomplished a great deal..not the whole Soviet Union. According to one report, the German troops were very close to Moscow, when the winter weather set in.... So the Soviets brought in troops from...Siberia..
one of the coldest places around, (yes that one in the far north of Soviet Union)...who knew how to live and fight in the............................ winter...

...So, the German troops who were not prepared for the winter...were fighting the Siberian troops whose entire life was dealing with the winter......and guess who eventually prevailed?...Yes, the troops from Siberia prevailed over the
Germans who were not prepared for the ....yes..."Winter"....

[Treefrog]

14. Odd for him to bring it up the same day tha Pfizer gets approved.

What a fool.

[babylonsister]

15. Please forward

this link to him. This man felt the same way. He's now dead.

16. I hope you don't have to physically share a space with him.

If so, ask the boss to kick him out or find somewhere else for him to be.

[East-A-Squared]

19. Fortunately, his desk is over 20 feet from my desk. Also my

employer requires us to mask up when leaving our desks. Most staff here are working remotely, so there is no crowd.

[lagomorph777]

21. Only when you leave the desk? Yikes. I would definitely not show up in those conditions.

Fortunately, I'm lucky to be working from home.

[CTyankee]

17. I'd just cut him off, saying "come back when you are vaccinated, then we'll talk."

Honestly, who has the time or energy at this point to argue with idiots? I don't.

[gratuitous]

20. Tell him you hope he's right, seeing as how he's betting his life

There are quite a number of stories coming in all across the country of folks having a shroud pulled over them, despite being young with good immune systems.
