I too would like to know how you answer that question, Woody. It's really easy to slam dunk on conservatives for distrust of the vaccine, but are the 64% of black Americans or 59% of hispanic Americans who didn't get the vaccine wrapped up in misinformation too? As a doctor in this day and age, we are taught that patient autonomy takes precedence over pretty much anything else. In the Tuskegee experiments, the US government conducted unethical experiments on people that were thought of as lesser. The FDA ordered 60 million J&J vaccines destroyed last month. The long-term risks of the vaccine are not and will not be known for years. Nothing of what I've said is misinformation. There are reasons other than misinformation to be scared to take the vax. Every time I recommend the vaccine to someone who is not in an at-risk population, I am essentially asking them to put population health over them being used as a guinea pig. Shaming people who don't want to be a guinea pig is not going to get us to herd immunity any quicker. The majority of attacks I see on people who are hesitant to get the vaccine is partisan bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is very easy to dunk on conservatives about this. Yes, blacks and hispanics are wrapped up in misinformation too. Though in that case, it may come from a general distrust of the US medical system which has some racist black eyes in its history (though I know many posters here will immediately scoff at hearing another thing in America has some historic, systemic racism... but a lot of stuff does). And I would absolutely be harder on someone wealthier, like this coach, that has access to all of the information he could want. I don't consider this "my body, my choice" because it is actively affecting other people. Pregnancy isn't contagious. COVID is. Calling them guinea pigs ignores or downplays all of the work done up until now. And yes, it is absolutely about not being selfish at this point. It is to help control the pandemic, control the spread, control these continued variations, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I gotta admit l’m not crazy about how the NFL is going about this. It seems to be a process of shaming and ostracizing players and coaches who opt not to get vaccinated. I get the concept of protecting your investments, but l feel like there has to be a better approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a high-risk pregnancy sure, but I personally think it's fucking nuts to get a vaccine that elicits this heavy of an immune response while you're carrying child. Look at all the immunosuppression that people go on for an organ as simple as a kidney, then compare that to a lung or liver transplant.

calfoxwc Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 The sad part is, just yesterday, folks can still die if they are hit hard, and probably with other health problems of the lungs - will be in serious trouble. but mandating the vaccine is a disgrace. Let folks decide for themselves - it's up to them to choose wisely for themselves and their family. But ridiculing those who fear getting the vaccine for whatever reasons, is counter-productive to put it lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood clots aren't exactly uncommon, etc. And you clearly know what you're talking about. I try to get posters on here to listen to experts and academics just to see a huge "anti" movement in that space. It would be hypocritical of me to then largely go against the word of someone actually working in the medical field. Where you're coming from and where the majority of anti-vaxxer / anti-covid vaccine people are coming from are two very different places. I'm going to guess you actually think COVID exists and that deaths from COVID exist, which already gets you leaps and bounds ahead of a concerningly large portion of the country. I mean shit, at this point, 99+% of COVID deaths are from the unvaccinated? We can disagree on where that line is drawn for where an individual should get vaccinated. I'd like to see more get vaccinated so that we can try to actually get this stamped out, or at least more under control. I think a lot against the vaccine is some fear-mongering, as risk exists with a lot of things. At this point though, I think we're just going to go around in circles. So I respect your knowledge here, I know you know what you're talking about, I think where you're coming from and the people I'm describing are very different, and we stand at different points in the ethical question of where to balance the greater good vs an individual. I think that basically sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I could read through those reports, then again- what's the percentage of serious side effects, as opposed to the obvious benefits of the vaccine being highly effective? With hundreds of millions of doses administered- we have a damn good handle on what any short term side effects serious (or not) are. Granted- we don't know if there's going to be some long term issues with the vaccines, but from my POV and what I understand of the science- it's mighty doubtful. I'm (sort of ) OK with those who take the view not me, nope I'm not going to be another guinea pig. But if you're the dumb asshole that gets the disease and causes a mutation that renders the current crop of vaccines ineffective- well, string that moron up . As far as the NFL goes- looks like if you're unvaccinated and get covid- there goes your game check. Obviously some of those players aren't too smart after seeing what covid did to Myles Garrett and still being in the antivax crowd.... PS- yes, I can be objective. CNN is being damn disingenuous screaming about the huge spike in cases.. 50% increase of near zero is way below the peak number.
