Do you also believe in being embarrassed if you get Covid? Do you get embarrassed if you get cancer or other diseases?
Shame on anyone who gets Covid right?

This discussion has nothing to do with morals or embarrassment. It's a simple question of whether stopping people from dining out protects others from COVID. And it does. Because it reduces infection opportunities.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 8:47 pm Wow. Photofly is completely invested in the moral narrative.

The fact that *you* want it to have something to do with morals, or raise the question embarrassment, reveals how *you* feel about things.
Isn't spreading COVID because you refuse to get vaccinated like spreading STIs because you refuse to wear a condom?CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 8:57 pmphotofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 8:49 pmIt has nothing to do with morals or embarrassment.

You literally speak the moral narrative. Blame the antivax, same on the young who don’t protect the old. Nothing scientific. You are the one who sees covid as a moral issue. I think I know exactly how you think because I have seen people go through it. One family member gets Covid, then they say “x” family member is going to be so mad at me because I ruined things and may have transmitted it to them, now they have to quarantine. In their head it’s a huge mortal thing, they literally shame their family and friends who get Covid.
My response in these conversations is how utterly ridiculous it is to blame shame or get mad at someone who gets Covid. I like to think I have a rational stance in Covid. Stats, facts.
Of course it can be difficult to remain rational. If I had family die of Covid it would be very easy to make covod a moral, or emotional response issue. But that doesn’t change the science. I do my best to think what is right for the greater good. A great start is begin with core values and principles… destroying careers for literally no mitigation of Covid risk is absolutely terrible. How many lives have been saved by laying off non vax pilots in Canada, give us the figure.
The greater good is for you to get vaccinated.I do my best to think what is right for the greater good.
The argument is only moral because of the science. You're less likely to spread the disease if you're vaccinated, which is what makes it the moral choice.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:02 pm Well photofly you are wrong.

Until the recent omicron variant, it was true by factors of several. It appears to make less of a difference with the omicron variant; but the numbers and science have always been irrelevant to you. To you it has never seemed a moral choice, and you were making the same claims of vaccine ineffectiveness and amorality when delta was the biggest issue.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:05 pmThat’s more miss informationphotofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:03 pmThe argument is only moral because of the science.

By how much would you say your statement is true? Is it even 25 percent accurate?
Again more lies. You are assuming because delta spread less that you must be right. You are so committed to your lies.photofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:08 pmUntil the recent omicron variant, it was true by factors of several.

The booster is a half dose of a vaccine originally designed around the original virus. It doesn't need to be designed around a particular variant, and it's proving to be effective at keeping people out of hospital, and out of ICU, particularly. At this stage, having a vaccine booster isn't mandatory, nor is it mandatory to have a vaccine at all. It remains your choice.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:11 pm
And if you were right, since the booster is for alpha variant still, it should not be mandatory. It’s not even a vaccine designed for omicron, and not proving to be effective at all these claims you make.
I don't.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:18 pm Anyways best to you. I see giving people the boot from work as astronomically more immoral than their decision to not get vaccinated.
It has everything to do with morals. The perceived moral high ground has been the crux of the pro mandate crowd from day 1. Remember all that "greater good" stuff about how 38.2 million of us are supposed to be altruistic and get the jab to protect the 1.4 million octogenarians and keep the hospitals empty?
Isn't that what the vaccines are for?
Well first, you'd have to be in the same area at the same time as someone who would have entry to an LTC facility. The odds of that being the case are already quite low. Presumably that person would be vaccinated, being that they work closely with the most vulnerable people. Odds are getting lower still. Finally they'd have to pass it to an elderly person, who would obviously be, you guessed it: fully vaccinated. If you truly believe, as I do, that the vaccines are of any use at all, how many decimal places are we at now in the fractions of a percent of risk to this theoretical elder?photofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 8:49 pm However, to answer your question: if I was unvaccinated and I dined out, and contracted COVID, which then spread from me to a retirement home causing the death of several elderly people, then, yes, I'd feel pretty shitty about my decision-making. Wouldn't you?
Of course. But in your original question, your putative couple in the restaurant weren't vaccinated. So as an alternative to that method of preventing infection, they were required to follow another method, which was to not dine out in a public place.
So then why aren’t boosters mandatory yet? What are they waiting for… now would be the moment to mandate them… should we wait for summer when cases drop? The ignorant would follow that science of course… booster mandates in April, cases drop through to august, the booster worked!photofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:19 pmI don't.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:18 pm Anyways best to you.

No vaccines are mandatory. There are no restrictions on people who choose not to get a booster shot right now because there aren't enough booster shots available to provide to everyone who wants one. When there's an excess, and anyone who wants a booster can get one, there probably will be restriction on people who refuse one.CYERCaptainPooping wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:28 pmSo then why are boosters mandatory yet?

No. Being fully vaccinated in it's current definition is enough to reduce the risk to all of us. The additional dose has not proven as successful at stemming the spread or reducing the risk to others as much as the first two doses.Should COVID boosters be mandatory for the aviation sector ?
There will be no restrictions on the non boosterd because I will not let people like you feel powerful.photofly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:30 pmNo vaccines are mandatory.

You're hilarious. Employees won't agree to anything of the sort.Workforces will ban together and ensure there is dialogue for the next mandate. It will be a discussion to be had. And employees will all agree not to submit vax status.
