I have cancer…I didn’t refuse the vaccine, but I asked my MEDICAL Provider/ oncologist about it. They suggested it and so I got it. I can understand people if they are concerned about side effects etc, why to refuse it. I’m not judging them.it’s between them and their doctors or medical providers, no? ---

Actually no, as they’re putting others at risk. It is their duty, their responsibility to get the shots. These lame excuses are garbage. They’re shit. They’re deadly. * * * This damn pandemic has to come to an end. People have to stop being insanely stupid about it. ---

> [@eenerms](#): > > I have cancer…I didn’t refuse the vaccine, but I asked my MEDICAL Provider/ oncologist about it. They suggested it and so I got it. Good, that was a prudent and responsible decision on your part. Hope your treatments go well. > [@eenerms](#): > > I can understand people if they are concerned about side effects etc, why to refuse it. I’m not judging them.it’s between them and their doctors or medical providers, no? Unfortunately, the vast majority of vaccine refusers are NOT taking the advice of their doctors/medical providers. They are stupidly and willfully REJECTING the informed advice of medical professionals about the best course to follow for their own health and the health of the public, because they’d rather believe some anti-science bullshit instead. Yes, it is absolutely appropriate to judge people negatively for indulging in such irresponsible willful stupidity. ---

A guy on our neighborhood app posted that nonsense about Delta/Omicron/media control, and I pointed out that his name was an anagram for “Batman Liar Kit,” and demand to know who was zooming who. The thread was closed shortly thereafter. ---

> [@eenerms](#): > > I can understand people if they are concerned about side effects etc, why to refuse it. I’m not judging them. I’m not judging them for being concerned either. I look at it the same way as you do, getting a vaccine is a personal medical decision. (Until such time as a general mandate is put into effect.) I just have the insight of working at a doctor’s office. We have had people voice their concerns about getting vaccinated at least once a week, usually more often, since December of 2020. To my knowledge (I asked), the doctor has always advised patients to get a vaccine, though sometimes it has to be a specific manufacturer or a special dose/timetable. There are doctors out there who advise patients against getting vaccinated. Not any that I know of locally but we’ve all read the stories. I can’t in good conscience hold it against a layperson who relies on that advice, unless like… they sought out that doc specifically because of his/her reputation for being anti-vax. ~Max ---

We’ve given these idiots the carrot for more than an a year. If the stick needs to be used, so be it. No vaccine, no work. Or double their insurance premiums. No vaccine? Well looks like your going to home school. These are the requirements for that. ---
