I'd love to know what part of the Bible or other religious text/belief people base this stuff on. Even the pope is vaccinated and encourages it. Is it just the covid vaccine these people are against or are they against things like the MMR vaccine as well?
From my experience they aren’t anti-vax just only get the major ones (MMR, Polio, Smallpox, ect) and opt out of flu shots and other less critical vaccines. Covid has just taken that contingent of people to another level. My moms response was that Jesus isn’t going to work and pay her bills if she gets fired. Imagine believing that you will go to hell for a shot in your arm though 😂

Good for her.

These days, I no longer hear the traditional Christian value of "God help those who help themselves" much. :( Seems on both end of the political spectrum, God was used as an excuse to not do things one doesn't like to do (not getting vaccine, not seeing doctor, or not get a paying job). "The lord will take care of me". Some people seem to equate believing in God the way children believing in the fairy delivering their favorite toys.

Why are so many people against getting vaccinated? I suspect some of the reasons are religion, don't trust the vaccines, or simply because someone is telling you that you have to. Did I miss any?
Piss Poor roll out by people who told people not to take them under any circumstances that are now mandating it, vaccines developed in record time, no liability for big pharma if they cause injury or death, some people's reaction to mandates is to dig in harder and oppose, religious objections...

And then there are the Christian Scientists...

Also the reference that fetal cells were used in some miniscule part of the development process, but this is also true for most vaccines.

You forgot that some people are deathly afraid of needles. I think its an irrational fear, but its there.

Agree on that.

Also, I know a few "health nuts" who are totally against medical treatment of any kind unless their life or limbs are in danger. They just refuse to go see a doctor until it's too late. It's that same mentality that makes them anti-vax.

I have to say I don't like all the mandates. I choose to get vaccinated. It's MY decision. I value my freedom to make that choice.

As long as someone is not interacting with the public (health care/transportation), I feel they should be allow to make a different choice. They maybe in danger themselves, or they maybe endangering their family too. But we've never in the past mandate against self destructive behavior. We should not start that now.

My mom was told she has to repent to Jesus or shes going to hell for getting the vaccine by one of her coworkers. People are really going off the deep end.
Reminds me of the time a coworker gave my mom a letter letting her know she was going to go to hell if she didn't stop taking yoga (she was a Catholic school teacher). That was like 15 years ago, my mom still takes yoga. Shame that she's eventually going to have to deal with that eternal damnation thing.

Over 20k deaths reported to VAERS for the COVID vaccines since the rollout. This is more than 25 times all other vaccines combined. They are neither safe nor effective.

Lol, I came to this thread for an entirely different purpose, but I guess I'll have to join in the vax discussion. Could you please give proof of this?
P.S: Official VAERS data reports three deaths linked to the vaccine, one of which happened a month after the second shot.

Sorry, that's an outdated concept.

If you're a restaurant owner, and your pastry chef had just moved to Boston, you advertise for 2 week without any response. Then the 3 resume on the bottom of the waste basket consist of 1 drug addict with criminal record, the next one had but 5 week experience, then this one with 3 year experience with known restaurants but only stay 1 year at each... What will you do? Make pastry yourself?
Since your example is of the food industry, I’m going to go with the drug addict with a criminal record.

Time to derail the Covid Crazies.

Vail needs to take a hint from the folks currently running Jay Peak. This is how you do Customer Service. Not refusing refunds to people unable to travel without breaking the law, not these half-assed copypasted letters from the GMs of all the areas Vail is fucking over. Way to build trust with your passholders, Steve Wright.
