(35,325 posts)to get shots to enter school never heard anyone protesting. I got a bunch of shots when I got drafted in the Army. I got another round of several shots when I went to Germany. I can picture a soldier saying he ain't taken no shots to his drill Sargent. Like ours always said your ass is grass and I am the lawnmower.

(16,844 posts)If it's no big deal to get the rest of your shots, why freak out over a Covid shot? Because their leader politicized the vaccine (like he politicizes everything else) and rebelling against the vaccine is what their peer group requires. There's no legitimate medical reason not to get it, unless you're one of a tiny number of people who can't take vaccines. Refusing the shot is all about owning the libs and making Donald Trump proud. That's it.

came along, there was fertile soil, so to speak, to oppose that vaccine as well. And as we all know by now, Facebooks malignant algorithms did the rest to make sure this spread far beyond the original anti-vax community.

However, getting the Covid vaccine is even more dangerous since Covid is so highly transmissible. It's not a "personal choice," when you're putting family, neighbors, friends and co-workers in danger of severe illness and death. Over 700,000 in the U.S. - so far.
