Just 1.4% of cases were among people who received two vaccine doses.

    Make vaccines obligatory. Take people kicking and screaming if you have to, don’t care. The entire bullshit line “but muh rights” has nothing to do with this, you don’t have the right to make the world a worse place, you don’t have the right to risk other people’s lives.

    Make vaccines obligatory, exceptions only for those that have real and supported medical reasons like auto immune diseases.

    If you don’t, you get fine, jailed, and vaccinated anyway.

    Ah, that feels good writing that down.

      There are people who legitimately can’t take some vaccines for legit medical reasons. For example, I worked in a hospital and was required to get an annual flu shot and it was always an issue. Why? I’m epileptic, and it could trigger a seizure. I never had an issue though, and fought to get the vaccine. Only missed one year with a charge nurse who wouldn’t risk it. I then went and got it on my own. Hospital acquired infections are no joke, and that applies to the staff as well as patients.

      But other than that, I agree.

        That’s why I said with exceptions for those that have legitimate medical reasons, doctors should have to sign off on that.

        And quickly for those that think “ooohhh, I’m a doctor and I’m antivaxxer, I can sign” (and yeah, those exist unfortunately) you wouldn’t be the first one to go to jail for that, though as far as om concerned, if you mess with human safety because of your conspiracy beliefs, you can go to jail for 20 years instead of 2.

      Back in my day our parents had parties for chicken pox. The older you get, the worse it is.

      There was no vaccine when I was a child.

          My brother caught it first. He developed keloids from it. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. I had to wear mittens on my hands till it healed.
