Covid Vaccine

Well, my company has issued a vaccine mandate for continued employment. Per them, being a Fed. contractor we must abide by mandates for the stabby and if you are not vaccinated, and don't have a religious or medical exemption by Dec. 8th you will be considered as "resigned" from (company).

This goes even further by stating "fully vaccinated" meaning if you don't get the shots at least 2 weeks prior to the 8th you aren't considered fully vaccinated and will therefore be "resigned".

They are calling this a "choice". I'm calling it coercion.

There will be quite a few long time employees that I know of that will be walking out the door on that date...........or sooner.

I also have to say that I loathe calling it a vaccine when it is more like the flu shot. This whole mandate thing is ridiculous. I'm not against the shots or anything like that, but I am against the govt. pushing this like they are.

Sorry to hear that, NC. It's a travesty. A friend from the Bronx works for a school district there, and was mandated to take it, or else she'd lose her job. She's from the Dominican Republic originally and is a Bronx girl - so she's a tough SOB - and she sobbed while she had to make one of the more difficult decisions of her life for her and her family's well-being. It was tough to even listen to. It's sickening. I don't recognize this country anymore.
 
You really are ******* stupid aren't you?

Somehow, this "weather" and "air traffic controller" issue did not affect United, or Delta, or JetBlue. I was in California for business for five days. Left on Monday morning from LAX flying American. No problem, flight left on time, arrived early.

At the same time, Southwest flights were canceled or delayed by the dozens from the same airport.

Weather. Yeah, right. That's the ticket.

Idiot.
Operational issues. Read the article. Why would the Union President lie about the cause of the cancellations? Honestly, everything is a ******* conspiracy theory you guys.

Several other airlines are also requiring vaccination and ignoring Abbot’s nonsense. I guess we’ll see more (supposed) walk-outs?
 
Once again, you come up with nothing. No substance.

And in your weak defense, you try to (as Tiblio does) twist words.

You stated:
"I don’t think I’d want a medical professional who was against the Covid vaccine to be involved in my medical treatment."

I replied:
"But you'd probably be fine with a medical professional who believes in 64 genders treating your child, prescribing hormone therapy and possible genital mutilation."

None of that had to do with the Covid vaccine, as you infer. The discussion was you making a blanket statement about medical professionals who are against the Covid vax not being suitable physicians. You wouldn't "trust your life" with a doctor who opposes the vax. I suggested you would however put faith in doctors who support 64 genders, and allowing kids to get hormone therapy and or gender-altering surgeries.

Stay focused.
Another idiotic strawman by you.

Just because you probably rely solely on faith healers…

Because the company is under massive pressure to keep the lid on what is going on.

If every airline pilot in America said, "I am in favor of vaccines, am vaccinated, but oppose a patently illegal order from a President forcing vaccinations by civil disobedience," followed by every cop, followed by every teacher, we would learn - VERY quickly - that the mighty government is in fact not so powerful. It is a bully, relying on threats and subservience.

Once people ignore the threats and abandon subservience, the government is as mighty as a freeloading imbecile on a message board.

Honestly, everything is a ******* conspiracy theory you guys.

Like Russia collusion, Hunter's laptop?

Or that outlandish conspiracy theory about the Chinese flu emanating from the Chinese bat flu lab?

Like those?

You mean airline-specific bad weather, right?

Me: "I've got this beachfront property for sale Floggy"

Floggy: "How much you want for it?"

Negative. I replied to your idiotic statement that any physician opposed to vaccines must be a quack. When you start with idiotic statements, you get called out on it.

Just because you probably rely solely on faith healers…

Awwwwww, did pooooor widdle Fwoggy say that because I hoit his feewings by saying his doctor might be a beweever in 64 genders??

No, not a strawman at all. A strawman argument generates a phony and easily disproved point that has nothing to do with the actual dispute. TSF accurately quoted the dispute, verbatim, to point out that YOU had raised a strawman, i.e., a fake argument ("Seriously Tim, take that post, show it to a mental health professional and explain that you were arguing about the Covid vaccine and your mind turned, to of all things, child genital mutilation. See if they think you need professional help"), when in fact the entire post by TSF and the link made NO REFERENCE AT ALL IN ANY FASHION to "child genital mutilation."

So you commit a classic strawman while accusing TSF of engaging in a strawman argument.

You then engage in what is called an "ad hominem" argument by accusing TSF of "relying on faith healers." First off, you have zero reason to make that claim. Second, it has literally NOTHING to do with the point being debated.

To sum up, your knowledge of logic is as barren as your ability to operate the donation tab.

Now that's not fair. He "might" be able to operate the tab, but incapable of figuring out how to pay? Or has simply obligated his China Flu riches to Soros funds?

It's sad and really unnecessary. I don't think that people's livelihoods should be under threat like this. I mean, how do you call that an actual "choice". Choice under threat?

Oh, and there is also a statement that as boosters come out for the shots that could possibly change their definition of "fully vaccinated". Meaning, even if you got the shot originally you will still lose your job if you don't get the boosters.

The fed. govt. idiots are certainly smiling ear to ear with their new found power over the people.
 
Oh, and about the problems with Southwest Airlines, Floggy ...


In the wake of massive Southwest Airlines cancelations and disruptions, a whistleblower within the company reached out to PJ Media to confirm that employees, including pilots, gate agents, flight attendants, and others, are fighting back against the mandatory vaccines ordered by the federal government. “It’s a coordinated protest,” said the source, on the condition of anonymity.

The employees have coordinated on social media platforms and are standing up at what they believe is a pivotal moment in America that will determine whether the country remains free or slides into despotism. “We know we can stop this,” the whistleblower said. “And if we don’t do it now, it will be too late. Everyone is very excited!”

Southwest Airlines has denied that there is a “sick-out” and has had the mainstream media running cover for them all week. USA Today put out a strange multi-part tweet listing all the reasons why the sudden shutdown of thousands of flights is anything but a protest. I don’t know when Columbus Day became a “peak holiday” travel day, but I guess it’s the new excuse. (At least they didn’t cite the perfectly clear weather again.)
 
What miserable **** ***** gerbil-stuffer would whine to a moderator about some comment being a supposed "threat" to a guy in Hungary?

In all my time here, I don't recall ever 'whining' to a moderator' about anything.

For many years, I'd have brief interaction with Steelerfan81 when I'd thank him for running the site as I re-upped my yearly contribution. On *one* occasion a couple of years ago, I brought up the disgusting, violent meme some ******* posted here with a blood-splattered front of a semi-truck, suggesting that's how to deal with protestors. That crossed the line not just on this board, but on any board. Of course nobody here batted an eye at it, as it's part of the MAGA ecosystem.

If I have a problem with any of you brain-dead knuckle-draggers, I simply tell it to your face. As I have in numerous posts where I've told you and others you can **** right off.

Like I'm doing right now. Don't need no moderator for that.

Thanks for playing, you whiny ****.

You don't ever recall "whining" to a moderator and then you tell us in the next sentence you went and whined to moderator over a picture. "One occasion" or many, you're a snitch. Little cry baby *****.

I said early on the Government would mandate these vaccines. I was told I was a quack.

The quack-callers have used word salad since to say the Government isn't really mandating the vaccines, you have a choice.

Except, they take your choices away. All of them. It's the same methodology the Government gets the states to comply with rules they want passed. "We will withhold this $900M in Federal funding you need for roads if you don't adopt the measure." They give the States choices alright.

I'm facing the same mandate right now with the same due date, and navigating it. Using exemptions, hoping they get approved. Reality is, when you remove all choices, people comply. I have kids in college. And with what I make, and what my bills are, no sub-100 person company will be able to provide me equitable pay/benefits.

So my choice is to make my kids take student loans and I sell what I have and move off grid so to speak or get on the proverbial train and take a vaccine I don't need, nor want.

It's not a mandate though. Yeah, bullshit.

You guys make my day sometimes. Keep the meme's a com'n. lol
 
Read mine.



Seriously??? I gave you reasons as to why everyone involved would lie. $$. And seriously, Unions? You're ascribing honesty to UNIONS? LMAO.

Jimmy Hoffa smiles at you from his undisclosed grave.



We'll continue to see walkouts, correction.
So the Union President lied so Southwest wouldn’t lose money? ******* nonsense. When professional athletes walk out and games are cancelled, you don’t think the sports leagues lose money?

Everything’s a ******* conspiracy.

Lol, if your wife's around BC, make sure to let her in on the fun. She sounds like she has a great sense of humor.

You are a lying liar lying about his lies.

Really? Huh. Sound like you are a tough guy. Charles Bronson + Chuck Norris.

You sure you never whined that some comment was "threatening"?

I mean, I guess you could allow moderators to publish your report history. You okay with that?

As you like to say, "What do you have to hide?"

Thanks for playing, you whiny ****.

I also give moderators 100% permission to publish my report/complaint history to them, in full, unedited. Have at it. I presume Tibilo will do so as well.

Let's see how lubed your vagina is, ehh, little man?
