Majority are sick and tired of government telling them what to do. As free Americans government do not tell us how to live our life.

I'm starting to suspect you aren't from the US. Or else you would have already acknowledged the 100+ year legal precedent supporting the role of the US government in implementing actions like quarantine or travel restrictions during a public health emergency.

Just because court ruled in the 1800's and early 1900's that government can do it, do not mean i agree with it nor am i going to follow it.

Yup. There we have it. Who should we listen to regarding the legality of quarantines?

weblooker2021 with his internet degree in the rights and privileges of US citizens

or

US Supreme Court

Or maybe you missed the recent court cases upholding the use of quarantines that were ruled in the past 10 years? I guess you are happy to contradict your own definitions of "priviledges" and "rights" that you described earlier in this thread. Looks like you definitely don't practice what you preach.

Interesting, sociopath is defined as "a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience." While i have lack of conscience, i do not have an extreme antisocial attitudes. So i do not see how i could be sociopath.
Looks spot on to me. Get help.

Yea, looking at his last few posts and awful grammar English is certainly not his first language.

And note how he/she has dodged the assertion of both of our posts about him/her. Also interesting how one other poster with poor grammar disappears and then suddenly the other tags in. Hmmm.

When the pandemic started I took a hard look at me and my family's health. By the time a vaccine was being distributed I had lost 50lbs by simply changing my diet, I improved numerous health markers in the process as you can imagine.

You may not like my message but I assure you I practice it.

Do you think this is the last pandemic we will ever see ? If we make the vaccine out to be more than what it is (a band aid) we won't get ahead of the next virus.

My wife’s a cousin who is a teenager (so low risk), not obese (the most important factor according to you), and in high school track (so athletic) had COVID symptoms for months and ended up with heart damage.

I’m going with the vaccine.

I think the problem here is you successfully lost a lot of weight with some self control and a sensible diet and feel that it protects you and anyone can have these benefits. Many people who experience something beneficial evangelize their experience.

Alcoholics who stop drinking cans start to vehemently hate alcohol. People who become born again want to convert everyone around them.

So your argument appears to be biased towards your own experience.

For me, I put on enough extra COVID pounds that I qualified (barely) for the vaccine last month. Now I’m dieting and have lost 8lbs in the last couple of weeks. Getting the vaccine and losing weight will reduce my risk to myself and others much more than simply losing weight would.

Exactly. People who run marathon have suffered servere damage from their infection. But hey only the fat or old die. Such stupid logic

English is my 1st language and grammar is something i never care to proofread before posting.

If you don't put even a minimum effort into polishing your writing, that suggests the substance of your argument isn't well-developed, either. You don't have to be flawless... but if you're not putting much thought into the basics, why should we believe you're putting thought into anything else?

Not a problem. We have a room at Fort Leavenworth with your name all over it.

Yes, I care, and a lot. If it just would impact them alone, nah, let 'em do what they're gonna do, but since they could infect others, others who may not be able to vaccinate, they need to get their fucking shot.

This. Besides them being able to spread it to others, it also strains healthcare workers that have to treat them. If it just affected them, and they stayed at home whether sick or dying, so be it. Their choice.

Contact traced? :D I didn't know i had it and even if i known , i would not talk to them. I have no legal duty to tell the government anything.
Yep, typical Trump dick sucker, got mine, fuck you. You do have a fucking duty to others..... you fucking asshole.

You're the fucking pond scum of society that probably tries to run over dogs or any animal in the road, or near it.

Terrible health + a virus that preys on poor metabolic health = a disaster

The vaccine is a band aid for that.
Tell that to all the fit, health people that have died from COVID. Well actually you would have to tell their grieving families. Like the family of a 19-year-old college student going to school on a track scholarship.

Or the marathon runner that can no longer run 100 yards because of possible permanent lung damage. They would welcome a band aid that would have prevented having their health destroyed.

They do every day, and you follow. They tell you which side of the road to drive on, how fast you can drive, control your actions as intersections. The building you live in is built to meet minimum structural and safety standards by the government, for your safety.

You just want to be some bad ass asshat cowboy that don't follow rules, at least while you are sitting behind your keyboard., a safe venue to show how bad you want to be a rebel.

Let me start by stating that i didn't vote for Trump. As for my duty to others, what duty would that be?

Driving is a privilege and not a right. Government would be well within their rights to take my legal ability to drive. Same with someone ability to build. All of what you describe is a privilege that government has legal right to take away.

Killing and endangering people through your reckless behavior is not a right or a privilege, but you sure as hell think it is your fucking privilege. If deliberate it is criminal.

Oh, didn't you know he super duper totally didn't vote for Turmp, he never met the guy, doesn't like him at all, doesn't support any of his policies, nothing. If you believe that, he'll get a vaccine.

I'm starting to wonder if you guys are from the US as you don't seem to have encountered that many of right wing shitheads who's grasping of the English language is about in line with their ability to form coherent logical thought. Plus stop the grammar Nazi shit. Its one of the ways that enabled this normalizing of white supremacist shit. Its straight up pretty racist as well (the fact that you don't seem to realize "we speak English in America!" is a common cry of these racist right wingers is pretty sad frankly).
