[News] Biden gets tough with Anti-Vaxxers......

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yes because Trump's Vaccine was a re-labelled bottle of Domestos and a 24 hour session under a sun lamp

It wasn’t really Trumps vaccine, it was the developers.

Doesn’t really excuse making the vaccine political.

Covid vaccination is a business ticket to Trillion $ revenues every year forever. Cant possibly have people not queing up for it and everyone realizing that not everyone has to. Always said this was the way it would go and here we are.

Everyone realising they don't have to because it's not them that's going to die. It's got a lovely empathy to it.

Is there a strong correlation between anti-vaxers and Trump supporters? My suspicion is that there would be.

Ok. But what does that have to do with refugees ?

I have no idea. I was just correcting you on your statement that vaccines aren't compulsory for anyone.

They still aren't compulsory for anyone. Just in certain lines of work rather than day to day work. Residents aren't forced to have one

Given the cost of hospital care in the US, you'd surely be mad not to, even if young?
Wouldn't be surprised if insurers there are insisting on vaccination too?

You’re making no sense you cabbage.

What exactly don't you understand , happy to help

OK. Maybe they aren't compulsory now, but they are going to be compulsory for anyone working or volunteering in a care home from 11 November.

Someone on Twitter, seemed genuine but what do I know, was asking about how much it cost to call out an ambulance, around the world.
It was a very small conversation, the questioner was truly amazed by the responses.
They appeared to genuinely think the US healthcare system was the world leader.

I can't imagine how Covid is affecting them and the poor.
I have a good idea how it's affecting the insurance companies.

Are US Heathcare Insurance companies allowed to refuse cover to the unvaccinated? Anyone know?

 

[Withdean11]

He is everything they said Trump was.

 

[Mental Lental]

Just to clarify in case some people haven't got the gist of this...When this kicks in.....

In America, if you are in charge of a company that employs more than 100 workers.....It is now the law that every single one of your workers be vaccinated, or provide weekly test results (at the employees own expense) to show that they are COVID free. This will be enforced by OSHA. Their health and safety ombudsman. Who will fine companies 14 THOUSAND dollars for every SINGLE infringement.

It is the single biggest Get Bent to employed anti-vaxxers in America and basically amounts to "get the shot or get sacked." I never thought I'd ever see this level of boldness from the White House. Gonna be an interesting few days across the pond!

If there's anything they can find in the small print, and if they can twist the small print far enough with the aid of a massive legal team, you bet your a*** they will!

You are a part of the problem, I knew several young, in the know progressive people over here I worked with who were going to refuse any vaccine under the Trump admin if he won, this situation the US finds itself in was going to happen whoever won last November, just different demographics depending on the victor. It's pathetic, imagine DYING because someone who does not give a shit about you won or lost an election you had little to no say in in the first place. Embarrassing and tragic.

Recent CDC report saying unvaccinated Americans 11 times more liable to die of Covid. Biden knows this won't make the slightest difference to the bozos who refuse to get vaccinated - Fake News blah, blah, blah - which is why is is initiating his various laws to ensure take up of the vaccine

Oh well, sadly natural selection will deal with many of them.

If you are seeking out the nutters. Make a point of going to church on a Sunday. You won't be disappointed

But the Brits are at least partly to blame for that because we did send all our puritans and religious nutters over there to help found the country

I am not part of the problem at all.

I have no media reach to any person living in the US.

Donald Trump on National TV suggested injection of disinfectant into people as a potential combative of Covid 19. I totally reject that sort of misinformation being visited on me.

 

[Coxovi]

Isn’t it down to vaccine uptake rather than masks?

Other wise other states would be struggling.

No, it is the combination of both. Florida vaccination rates are only slightly below average, however the angry, violent rejection of all other safety measures makes it so deadly.
