Debates


I think more people would get the shots it local personal doctors were allowed to give them. Right now you can only get the shots from fed approved sites. Strangers will be giving your shot, why not allow someone you know and trust give them? Why does the feds prevent this?

If you doctor prescribed medicine but you picked it up at a big chain pharmacy would you have less confidence than if the doctor handed the medicine to you themselves?

I think that many people simply do not wish to put genetically engineered genetic material into their body by way of an experimental vaccine.

Personally I have always known that viruses exist and they make us sick. The elderly are at a much higher risk if they have not had the virus earlier in life.

I have never seen so many people living in fear from a virus that is really not much of a threat at any age.

What's wrong with genetically engineered material?

The Pfizer vaccine requires very cold storage. Most doctors' offices don't have this capability. Sure it would be nice, but I don't think going to Walgreens or CVS is that much of an invonvenience. Besides, you might know your pharmacist at CVS almost as well as you do your doctor.

However, the ones responsible for killing people are the ones (like you) that spend their days trying to convince people not to get the vaccine.

Correct. I see my pharmacist way more than my doctor.

I am not trying to convince anyone.

Who says that you cannot take natural steps to improve your immune system and general health and also take the vaccine?

As genetically modified (GM) foods are starting to intrude in our diet concerns have been expressed regarding GM food safety. These concerns as well as the limitations of the procedures followed in the evaluation of their safety are presented. Animal toxicity studies with certain GM foods have shown that they may toxically affect several organs and systems. The review of these studies should not be conducted separately for each GM food, but according to the effects exerted on certain organs it may help us create a better picture of the possible health effects on human beings.

pharmacies are only a small part of the administration sites

Personally, I am on zero meds. Knock on wood, I will continue to be prescription drug free.

The feds don't prevent it, but it's just not the way things are done. Sorry.

I gotta say, all, there's some real anger out there brewing among the vaccinated folks. You anti-vaxxers have been coddled and babied with your "its not FDA approved" and "I want my doctor to do it" and "what about the evils of genetic engineering" and "but I just haaate needles". It's your fault that the mask mandates and new restrictions are coming back. It's your fault I can't take my kid to a ballgame. It's your fault we might not start school on time... again.

The rising resentment may well lead to public support for more coercive requirements, including mandates. That may well backfire but all you coddled freedom folk keep forgetting that lots of things are mandated - taxes, car insurance, feeding your kid. Why should vaccines be different? Why does our culture have to stall and wait around for you babies to wait for a decade of clinical data before you'll lift a shirtsleeve.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Snowflakes. Come on. You don't have to get vaccinated, but refusal to do so should mean you don't participate in public life. Your choice has consequences.

Just because you fear the dark does not mean all of us must run to mommy government to make us feel better.

Then when it does not work as planned, you blame the grown-up.

In your world grown ups are the ones crying about getting the Fauci ouchi?

Follow the rules if you want to participate in a society. That's what grown ups do.
