Now, that I can understand. Perhaps you should sign on as an interpreter. Have you heard the comedian who talks about the movie Nell? It kinda fits.
My 78 year old mom got hers today. I thought pigs would fly and monkeys would shoot out of my ass before that happened. I think she was pissed i knew she got it.
To put things in perspective, she thought this news article was real (no, it had nothing to do with her getting the vaccine).

Krispy Kreme Offers Vaccinated Customers Free Ride On Glaze Conveyor Belt
WINSTON-SALEM, NC—As a token of its appreciation to members of the public doing their part to fight Covid-19, leading doughnut purveyor Krispy Kreme announced Wednesday it would begin offering vaccinated customers a free ride on its glaze conveyor belt. “We know a lot of our customers stayed...

When push comes to shove, I think you'll see a lot of those who have been open and loud in their Covid skepticism quietly getting their vaccines. It's easy to stand on "principle" when your own well being isn't on the line (if only in your own head). Once that perception gets shifted -- that it actually would be in your best interest to get the vaccine (and no one has to know) -- the people will alter their behavior accordingly.
Yep. I have read that things are slowly shifting. I think some will get it but not admit it to anyone.

Conservatives say they are for individual freedom yet want to tell you what you can do with your body, want to have prayer in school and God all over govt, want capital punishment and want a closed gate society to keep out those aren't lined up with white... I mean 'western, Christian' culture etc.
So if you can fit into those constraints then yes, conservatives are for individual freedom and less govt interference.
George Carlin once said a bunch of the white men wanted to be free while also wanting to own the black man, to eradicate the red man and to move the brown man.
At that precise point, I would simple say to them.. "NOW you get it, you finally understand me! Now get out of my house".
Exactly. Now save this quote because you're going to backtrack this statement in the future about a different business
A rediculous over reaction to a real and temporary issue. I absolutely have the right to know if I am boarding with people who made the decision to not get jabbed. I know to keep clear of them for safety and avoid listening to their maga sheep mantra.
United States
1979: Cigars and Pipes banned on aircraft
1988: Smoking banned on US Domestic flights under 2 hours
1990: Smoking banned on US Domestic flights under 6 hours
1998: Smoking banned on all US Domestic flights
2000: Federal law introduced banning smoking on all flights by US airlines.

Wow. You post about a ridiculous overreaction and keeping clear of people talking about maga sheep mantra, while saying “I absolutely have the right to know if I am boarding with people who made the decision not to get jabbed.”
No, you don’t have that right. You don’t have the right to know anything about others. But I can foresee our political idiots agreeing with you. The rate we are going there will be registries for vaccines, guns, mental health, meat eaters, and maybe tooth decay in the way we now have sex offender registries.
Yes let's hope there's a license system registry to own a deadly weapon like we have to drive a frikken car or to operate on another person or to even catch a fish.
You want a gun, pass the test and get a license that registers you. You beat your wife or use the gun inappropriately then just like a drivers license you get it suspended.
If you have a gun without a license it big trouble for you.
Simple as that.
Are you cool with me stockpiling bombs in my basement for the right to bear arms?
What if I was your neighbor?
So yes, it's beyond dumb that we don't have a gun registry.

Next Thursday I have my J&J "unblinding" clinical trial appointment.
I will find out if, back in December, I received the J & J "real thing", or a placebo shot. 50-50 odds. If I received the placebo, I will then get the real thing. Either way, I will know where I stand.
My shot was Dec 21. I had no reaction, whatsoever. On Dec 24 my daughter flew in, apparently contracted Covid on the flight, got sick 5 days later, and tested positive on Jan 2. I developed mild symptoms on Jan 1, tested positive on Jan 4, recovered in about 5 days, other than tiredness lasting about a month. tested negative Jan 13th, and ever since.
My case was very mild, so either 1) I was lucky, or 2) the 3-4 days between vaccination (if it was real) and Covid exposure gave me enough antibodies to fight it off, fast.
I am guessing that I got the placebo, since I had no reaction to the shot at all, not even injection site pain.

No. I’m comparing “tagging” people with not tagging people.

Better watch out for those jewish space lasers.
Are you trying to compare the holocaust with registering guns? You are really bad with comparisons.
Gee, thanks, professor science! I would have never found anything out without your incredibly informative post!
Don't forget busts of Nathan Bedford Forest, Traitor to the US and founder of the KKK. They LOVE that stuff in courthouses, public parks, etc.
Some of you clowns make it up as you go, so I try to help where I can...even in small ways.
They do, but should they? We need people to be more responsible and there is no other term for people that do that but irresponsible.
Oh wait, selfish comes to mind as well. So two phrases, selfish and irresponsible.
They shouldn’t, but who is going to decide who should and shouldn’t get on the plane? Do we want to live in a world where some gate attendant decides who should get in or not? I’m thinking no.
I don't know, maybe fever checks should stay. I think darwinism is not as attractive as some.
I am hoping businesses develop policies for employees. It is particularly bad in the restaurant industry which is a "don't work, don't get paid" industry.
We have been lucky, SARS-COV-2 is bad, but there are far worse diseases we may/will face.
I appreciate your willingness to adhere to safety protocols. That’s huge. I’m in TX, and let’s just say there are severely uninformed people here when it comes to respecting others during this pandemic.
I’d like to ask you a question. What’s the reason for your hesitation? To have a better discussion, it would be helpful to know more about why you’re hesitant. I totally understand why folks are hesitant. It’s brand new technology, and it was developed REALLY fast.
I’ve got pictures on my phone of normal lungs vs smokers lungs vs COVID lungs. The COVID lungs are off the charts nasty.
Whenever someone says they’re hesitant about the vaccine, I show them the pictures. I don’t say anything else- the pictures tell the story.
If you haven’t researched what COVID does to a person, I’d suggest you do that right now. Especially if you’re eligible now to receive the vaccine.
Start with checking out pictures/scans of lungs.
Not only that, but even a mild case of COVID can produce “long haul” symptoms. Basically all kinds of weird chit starts happening to your body, and there’s no real rhyme or reason to what happens. Perfectly healthy people pre-COVID have become essentially disabled after having it.
That’s exactly why I got vaccinated as soon as I was eligible. I’m around too many people all the time to take chances. Either spreading COVID unknowingly or bringing it home to my family were risks I just couldn’t take. I’m super careful and have a several protocols to keep from contracting COVID.
Full disclosure- the first shot gave me headaches. I never have headaches. The second shot gave me chills & flu-like symptoms. Turns out those responses are actually a great thing- my body was producing antibodies against COVID. Quite frankly, I would’ve been worried that the vaccine didn’t “take” if I felt perfectly fine after the shots. I’m quite sure it “took”
. Both of those (temporary) responses were WELL worth it to avoid having COVID and what comes with it immediately and potentially down the road.
I know that the vaccines were developed very quickly, and that’s a little scary. Quite frankly, they are a scientific miracle.
However, having COVID is MUCH scarier. You might be perfectly fine, you might get really sick or you might even develop long term health issues. And you could develop long term symptoms even if you weren’t that sick when you had COVID. You’re basically playing a game of Russian roulette with your health if you have access to a vaccine and don’t take advantage of it.
Just a few things to think about.
I get what you’re saying, but...
Let’s frame the issue the correct way.
The flight attendant had nothing to do with whether someone chose to obtain a vaccination when it was offered to them. For free, no less.
The “action” in your scenario was someone refusing to get a free vaccine shot (or two). The flight attendant/airline employee is merely following a safety protocol based on the outcome of the traveler’s previous decision.
I’m scheduled to fly to AZ in early May. If I didn’t have my vaccination + 2 weeks time passed, there’s no way I would be making the trip.
That’s called “responsibility”. And respecting the safety of those around me. They are the same reasons why I’ve done things like always wearing a mask and keeping distance from others during the pandemic.
We enforce responsibility/safety in many different ways in this country. We’ve done so for years. Think of things like banning smoking in public, speed limits and safety belts in vehicles.
More on point, it’s not much different than school systems requiring children attending their schools to have standard vaccinations. Either you conform to widely accepted health measures, or you don’t. If you don’t, then you lose the ability to participate.
Those are all examples where we, as a country/society decided that it was irresponsible to continue to do certain things, and that for the good of public health, it was better to draw some lines. In the grand scheme of things, getting a vaccination to do “normal” things again is a very minor sacrifice.
Also, private companies can make decisions on what’s best for their business and their customers/employees. If enough people agree, they’ll be fine. It cracks me up to see how some people distort what “freedom” means to fit their particular world view. I’m NOT saying that’s you, BTW.
In short, actions have consequences. If a company chooses to not allow non vaccinated people to fly at a certain point (ideally 2-3 months after it became really easy to obtain shots), I don’t really understand why someone would be upset.
Just my .02. I’m sure some will agree, and others will disagree. That’s what makes this country great, IMO.
The EU will have a strict Green Pass system for everyting from boarding planes to eating in a restaurant.
Naaah....and not true.
Don't visit over here much any more...dropped in to post some common sense, but I can see the stupidity train keeps a chuggin' along.
Back to the Championship Game to watch the Zags fall...AGAIN.

Yeah,,, the air on a plane is actually exchanged with fresh air every 2-4 minutes and it's run thru HEPA filters. Besides that the circulation is not like a house where the air is circulated throughout the plane. Of course there is bleed over air but it's mainly circulated within a row.
