    Most of you probably know I'm pro-vax and pro-mask and that I cant ****ing stand anti-maskers and people who spread COVID lies and myths and misinformation and other forms of Qtard bullshit. But I'm also not a prog so I don't have to hide my head when bullshit pops up on the other side of the spectrum - I can call it out, hence this thread.

    This is so typical, so very very very typical of this two-tiered America that leftist have created. As if we needed another example of how these Marxist elitists and their celebutard tools live by one set of rules while the rest of us get another, but just read the quotes. Its ok to fire cops in the middle of a left-wing induced crime spree but we need to make sure every last knuckle dragging thug gets to throw a basketball around because that has "a real impact" on the city.

    A couple of days ago Adams said he wouldn't do this.

    He also said he would stop crime and he hasn't done that either.

    More proof that the pro-vaxx agenda is bullshit. It has more to do with controlling the little people than fighting the virus.

    Your commentary is hysterical, but I agree it's not a good look to waive the requirements for marginally important subgroups...

    Everybody in America should have gotten vaccinated, and those that didn't by choice are selfish bastards...

    The pro-vaxx political agenda is where the problems come form. The pro-vaxx health agenda, which is sadly far too intertwined with the political agenda, just wants a healthy strong country. The pro-mask political agenda has its problems as well. Such as when the White House orders the CDC to change masking guidance based on Presidential approval numbers and not statistics or scientific truth, or when politicians push masks (as they should) but then get busted not wearing them and try to lie their way out of it. Politics distorts almost everything it touches.

    That was my opinion when we had hopes that vaccinations could prevent spreading. I was strongly in favor of mandated vaccines and punishments for those that didn't get it. When it become obvious the vaccines couldn't prevent the spread I felt people should still do be getting them because a healthy country is a secure country. But now that corrupt politicians are carving out exemptions for their peer-elites I just cant support mandates anymore. If we establish rules for the public good then we cant give exemptions based on donor status or, the number of twitter followers, or the ability to haul a ball around.

    There isn't a "health agenda". There never was. The masks, lockdowns, vaccines were about excercising control over the people. The lockdowns we're also meant to damage the economy in order to get Trump voted out.

    I am vaxxed and boosted, but seeing how it all turned out to be bullshit, it won't happen again. See how the vaxxers shot themselves in the foot with their pestering over getting vaxxed?

    Uhhhh no.... and there is no such thing as "vaxxers".... There are people with common sense and those without it.... Glad to see you were one of the former (for awhile at least)...

    You are interested in mandates... the SCOTUS still supports many of them (not that that body is trustworthy anymore)

    New York fired hundreds of its nurses, and then complained about a nursing shortage and hospitals being "overfilled beyond capacity".

    Correct.... overfilled beyond capacity due to unvaccinated idiots...

    You GO Patriots!!.... and I mean that literally..... Go elsewhere...

    Go fight with your political cousins operating out of Moscow... Those that fight getting vaccinated are closer to that ideology than being Americans

    It has more to do with population control than anything else. The shots are a wet dream for the eugenicists of the world like Bill Gates.

    Yes. Lets take those who were on the front lines before any vaccine, that got Covid helping others, that have better immunity than the shot, and label them so you feel better about getting the shot yourself
    while depleting our medical staff.
    Like that makes any sense.

    I wasn't necessarily referring to medical people, but now that you mention it, why would I want somebody trying to fix me who's generally too dumb to do the right thing?? I'm going to trust that they have the ability to take care of me??

    Guess again...

    If you want to have an unvaccinated "medical person" take care of an unvaccinated patient, I suggest you find someplace else to do it...

    Thats about the common denominator of education level we have all come to expect from the left. All media and no science.
    1. There has never been a vaccination for a virus. Including Covid but you bought into it hook line and sinker
    2. The shot you think is a vaccine, is no different than a flu shot. It only helps YOU deal with the virus
    3. Their are NO protections afforded to you from anyone who took the Covid shot. The fact that you think there is says everything about what you think this shot is.
    4. Nothing in the Covid shot protects you from the virus or keeps you from spreading it. It only effects your own ability to deal with it once you have it.

    And you call people dumb because you thought its a vaccine?
    Thats pretty funny

    Oh... the vaccine is not a vaccine now?? Would you say it's more a "normal tourist visit" or "legitimate political discourse"??

    Please provide charts so I know what day of your BS week you are on....

    When did you first find out that vaccines provide immunity? Just now?
    So are we to call the flu shot a flu vaccine now?
    Here's you first hint. You can't cure or stop a virus.

    Let me know when you can dispute the following information.
    1. There has never been a vaccination for a virus. Including Covid but you bought into it hook line and sinker
    2. The shot you think is a vaccine, is no different than a flu shot. It only helps YOU deal with the virus
    3. Their are NO protections afforded to you from anyone who took the Covid shot. The fact that you think there is says everything about what you think this shot is.

    You don’t have to associate with any athletes or performers, you may have to associate with govt agents.

    What does that have to do with being vaxed or unvaxed .. given there is no significant difference between the two in terms of transmission .. other than your love of fallacious utilitarianism to the extreme. ?!

    I agree we are being lied to.
    I hesitate to agree this is the reason. It my be but it's not the sole reason.

    From a legal standpoint, the reasoning makes sense.


    EXPOSURE RISKS

    Athletes are around one another and coaches, managers, assistants, a few reporters, etc.. They are behind tables during press conferences so the "risk" of exposure (in either direction) is only limited to a relatively small group of people.

    City employees are around thousands of people per day.

    * Police officers and usually the first responders when someone calls 911 regardless if a paramedic and/or firefighters are needed. They are also trained in CPR and removing dead weight (ie. a person is unconscious in a fire) so there is no practical way to socially distance in an emergency. Sure a cop can wear gloves and a mask before responding to a call but that nullifies part of the reason for using them.

    Same deal with public transportation. Bus drivers are just inches away from everyone that gets on a bus. Conductors walk train cars all day long giving, taking and punching tickets. Again, there is not way to make those exchanges hands-free or at a distance.

    -------------------------------

    Pro-sports teams are privately owned and the article clearly states:

    "By putting our home teams on [an] equal playing field, we increase their chances of winning and that has a real impact on our city," he said.

    There is a lot more money involved in a team sport for the owners, players and the city.

    Much to my chagrin, there is more public outcry if ones' favorite sports team can't play but nobody notices if the police or bus drivers aren't around because we don't usually know any of them by name. As long as a cop shows up and the buses and trains are on time, we aren't noticing that the regular person isn't there. People that follow whatever team or player are going to notice and raise hell.

    As they say, "follow the money".
    I don't agree with this either. Despite his abuse of power and self-centeredness, We, the People, have the right to vote so this specific conspiracy theory seems very far-fetched.

    Why would "they" need to make sick and/or kill MILLIONS of people around the world to get Trump out of office?

    Trump broke several laws and is currently doing everything he can to not cooperate with the investigations (which people with clean hands don't do). If the powers-that-be devised COVID to oust him, they would have the power to stop him from continuing to cause chaos and destruction every time he opens his mouth.

    The hypocrisy of this move is undeniable. To punish city workers and wave on the professional athletes doesn't work for me.

    Any rule not applied equally is not a rule at all, but a weapon.

    Tyrants always have sound reasoning to explain their tyranny and it's always "for the public good". Who can argue with that, right? Even the Jews were told that they were going to the camps for their own safety.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Camp

    I didn't say the Democrats made people sick. I said the lockdowns we're designed to sabotage Trump, along with exerting control over the people.
