Your willingness to die is your choice, the rest of us not wanting to be exposed to a deadly disease should have that right.

Another insane comparison. Smoking deaths don’t fluctuate like COVID and disease doesn’t develop nearly as quickly. Stop being silly.
90% of smoking deaths by your numbers are people who choose to smoke. 10% of smoking deaths are nonsmokers, whereas 100% of COVID deaths were because somebody else gave them COVID, and likely someone of the two are unvaccinated.
As another user said, this is why we changed laws to reduce indoor smoking which has reduced the number of secondhand smoking deaths.
This is not the message citizens receive in Canada.
The viral charge stays for 3-4 days with a properly vaccinated person, and for 10-14 days without the vaccine.
Wow! Are you misinformed. YOU...are the one who is afraid...of people who can think for themselves. And I'll bet you think they are the ones who are the sheep. Wow.
Here in Germany this is not allowed yet, due to privacy reasons and strong employee rights, except for medical jobs.
Seems like employees in U.S have less rights!?

The screws over this issue are tightening everywhere. It's only a matter of time before a Vax certificate will be required for almost everything that involves jamming people together
Or we could use epidemiological science instead of act like people who have never heard of statistics.
Data has consistently shown that natural immunity has reinfection rates of 1% (UK, Israel, Cleveland Clinic). Against delta the estimates of vaccines effectiveness is 75-95%. Why would we make people in the 1% group prove they are safe but not people in the 5-25% group. By the way - the EU vaccine passport includes vaccination, a negative test, or surviving CV19. When there were polio mandates they excluded people who survived polio.
You couldn't really have picked a worse example to make your point. Smoking has been banned from businesses to protect people from second hand smoke. Similarly, mandatory vaccines will protect people from those who choose to remain unvaccinated.
You never had and never will have unlimited rights. Nor should you.
You don’t get to speed in your car.
You don’t get to shoot people.
You don’t get to commit ritual sacrifice.
You don’t get to yell fire in a crowded theater.
There is a long list of limitations on YOUR rights to protect MY rights and the rights of others.
As for your claim that “rights” when taken away never come back, history has proven you wrong on that too. Case in point, WW2. Numerous limitations were placed on the public due to the situation. Rationing of things like gasoline, rubber, nylon, and various foods. Price and wage controls. Limitations on certain leisure activities such as driving, and of course the draft (not to mention the terrible internment of Asian Americans). Outside of the US some areas, particularly those on the front had even greater restrictions, such as no lights after certain hours. And when the threat of war was over, these restrictions were removed.
If your “theory” was right all those things (and more) would still be in place today. Temporary impositions on normal freedoms happen during a crisis, whether it be short term such as a flood or hurricane, or longer, such as a war. Your paranoid theory is therefor proven wrong.
I'm talking specifically about people who refuse to get vaccinated, then go to the hospital when they get covid. They should stay at home, and let nature, god (whatever they believe) take it's course. That is what they want. I have heard it thousands of times. Listen to to their guy on newsmax. "Some diseases are supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people." Literally what he said. None of them had a problem with it.
Not from you I don’t.
I'll be so glad when all the willfully unvaccinated are six feet under and we can get back to normal. It's a shame that they're going to take so many innocents with them.
so when schools, universities require a kids/students vaccination record they violate HIPAA?
Illegals coming over the border should be required to show proof of vaccination.
I had COVID-19. Wasn't vaccinated. Doctor treated me and after five not-ideal days I'm still alive.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
I like how you cherry-pick one quote from a CNN interview rather than looking at the broader range of evidence.
Maybe you need to watch less CNN.
It is your burden of proof if you want to engage with the rest of the world. We should not have to risk our lives based on your word that you are safe.
Nope.
The question stands. If someone presumes to be a gatekeeper over life, the burden rests upon that person to prove why I am to be denied entry.
I did not hire you to be my doctor and tell me what medications to take. The doctor I did hire who has expertise and experience in the discipline as well as knowledge of my case tells me that.
Polio and COVID are different.
Prove to me (or rather the relevant authority) you have natural immunity and fine, you can be exempt from the vaccine too. But getting COVID does not equal natural immunity.
Hey, this contributor was hoping all the unvaccinated people die.
Hard to spin that.
What medicines you take don’t affect me. Your ability to infect me with COVID does. You should have to prove you are a lower COVID risk just like you have to prove you are capable of driving (therefore lower risk).
It’s common sense.
