Why You Can Be Forced To Get The Covid Vaccine



A large portion of the U.S. population still doesn’t want to get the new Covid vaccine, but they might not have a choice. Powers at the federal and state level, not to mention the legal rights granted to employers under U.S. labor law, may make it impossible for Americans to escape inoculation against the coronavirus.

days ago, but there are people here who are not getting the vaccine and this district will not make them get it. I pretty much am resigned to the fact that I will wear a mask here forever.

I will gladly hold the intransigent souls down while someone else gives them the jab, if we need volunteers.

Good grief! What has happened to our sense of humanity? Are we all just a bunch of contrarian cry babies with no love for our fellow human beings?

I'm sick of them, if they are, they need to eff right off.

It's our world, too, dammit.

The hospital did not mandate the shots.

She was shocked.

More Dumb. He said many are younger, watching side effects and probably will ultimately get the shot after higher risk groups are through but he thinks they are idiots. I for one would be real PO's about the time I find out my doc didn't get vaccinated and got and gave me Covid.

Don't know about other states, but here in Oklahoma if a person has TB and refuses medication to cure it, he/she can be forced to go to a court appointed practitioner, and given the meds, or jailed and force medicated. They aren't just left to run around infecting other people with a deadly disease. Same ought to apply to a deadly virus.

Sometimes I think we have too much freedom in America. The freedom to spread lies and slander, the freedom to spread disease, the freedom to drive your neighbors to sell their home because of your stereo habits or your barking dogs. It's all about I, me, and mine!!!!
