i agree, screw them. Mandatory shmandatory. They can stick that term where the sun don't shine.
I will travel when vaccines is just a bad memory, or no longer an requirement. I will never take it.
and it's not that i'm an anti-vaxxer. Ive read the science behind it, it is like an extra piece of armor (an helmut or a breast plate). It does stop people from ending up in hospital and getting it worse than not having the vaccine. It might save your life or it might not. I am not standing in anyone's way, if someone would ask me if i would recommend someone to take the vaccine, i will say yes. Anything is better than nothing.
Reason i don't take it or have no plans to take it.
1.I personally knew 4 people who had the vaccine (both jabs, 2 were phizer and 2 J&J) they all 4 still died. They were of different ages and different health profiles. I don't know alot of people, i'm not that type of social person.
2. I have had covid before and readup on the studies of Natural immunity, sofar the school is out saying it lasts at least 12months and maybe even longer. We'll find out more in 3-6months from now. To check if 18months or 24months it still is effective or not.
3. I don't believe in anything that people try to force on you, i was never the cool kid at school who smokes or drank alcohol or wore piercings or tatoo's etc. I don't believe in people trying to enforce an image or an habit or medication or drinks on someone. If a person wants to smoke... you go for it. You want to drink hard liquor... you go for it. I don't drink... i don't smoke. No one will force me or tell me to use it. Same applies to vaccine. If i decide to take the vaccine, it will happen when and if i want to take it. At this point, it's a big No thank you from me.
People fought hard for their freedoms in this country, we should not be so easy to just offer up our freedoms. Freedom of choice is a major one, freedom to be an individual and freedom not to be judged regardless of my choice.
The choice to take any medication, may it be for bulking up or contraceptives or simply taking your high blood pressure medication. The choice must always be yours to take. Problem comes in when company's or venues or even country's start dictating vaccine certificates to visit their venue or club or stadium or premise or even their country. No vaccine , No entry type of scenario.
