I dunno what to tell you, seriously.

I only hope that you have that sense of anger for all those other things taking hundreds and thousands of lives across our country.

And yes, I am double vaxxed if you're wondering.
But those other things like cancer and heart disease arent highly infectious.

why is it that people dont seem to understand the infectiousness nature of covid?

and any thing that uneccessarily risks taking a life as a result of anothers deliberate harmful action like punching someone in the head or having unprotected sex whilst knowingly having hiv would result in far more serious punishment then im advocating.

Not getting a vaccine during a pandemic is a harmful action you are taking against other people. You are knowingly using your body as a potential host to spread the disease to other people.

So if you DO get vaccinated and catch the virus from other people (because, news flash, you will) how are you going to stop doing all those things to not spread it to other people?

Knowing of course, that if all the people you care about also get vaccinated, they still catch the virus from others who are vaccinated as well.

There is no elimination end-game any time soon. Mass vaccination is basically to a) predominately, to protect yourself from serious illness and b) help as a society to lower the cumulative hospitalisation rate to a level that the health care system can cope with.

In other words
A) look after yourself- tick.
B) look after the community, the bulk of which will be affected being the group you are ranting about.

One is minimising the risk and the other is not. All drivers could accidently end up in a car crash. But the driver speeding 20 km over the limit whilst drunk is a criminal
 
Singapore has 80 percent of its population double dosed. Not 80 percent of over 16s but 80 percent of total population. Over 90 percent of adults.

and it is going back into a one month lockdown.

The only way out of this is mandatory vaccines. It is happening. Its just a matter of how long we all come to this realisation.
They have peaked at 2 deaths so for a country the size of Melbourne. While they may be going into lockdown that’s on Singapore I dare say no other western country would do the same

out of what? i don't believe i'm "in" anything to begin with. if anything, i'll be unable to go to yuppie restaurants or overpay for pints at pubs, that's about the gist of it?
 
Well to fair, that's pretty much what most people are whining about when they cry about their 'freedoms'.

yeah eating and drinking themselves to death at popular city hotspots, that's what they're worried about losing

Lockdowns. Not being able to work. wearing masks. No Interstate and overseas travelling. Potentialy getting quite ill and going to hospital.

the virus is coming when borders open up. and so are all those things if vaccinations arent higher then 90 percent.

For most, it is.

Aside from the odd bullshit scenario where people aren't allowed to work when they could actually do it safely - what else have we lost during the pandemic that couldn't reasonably be considered as in the greater good for the community?

Being pissed off Tina Arena style is one thing, but applying logic to those emotions is another.
 
The poster noted the following:

Not getting the vax will still go out and do what I want one way or another

The same post you liked btw.
Doesn't necessarily make someone a anti vaccine person
They might just be against this particular vaccine

How do you type those two sentences without spontaneously combusting due to the hypocrisy. The vaccines aren't full-proof. People will still catch, get sick and even die of covid. It's time to move on.
 
Given vaccine hesitancy continues to drop, I don't think mandatory vaccinations are worth pursuing. Anti-vaxxers are very much a minority. When we open up, the virus is likely to burn through the un-vaccinated. So be it.


I love the double-think some people can justify.

Continuing to live normal lives during a pandemic is bad because a 92 year old or an obese 50 year old may die and that's too much death to handle, but someone who doesn't take a vaccine, kill them in the street!

I find that comment illogical without context.

People always get sick, and die. It's part of life.

It's how many people get sick and die and how quickly it happens that is relevant.

Without understanding what that looks like, how can anyone be expected to 'move on'?


We have viruses such as a the flu that we have community health responses for, and it makes far, far, far less people sick.

People aren't allowed to attend school and work with gastro. We have community health responses to nits FFS!

Since when in the history of humanity have we ever just 'moved on' when there is a serious health issue that impacts the community?

It's a really unusual thing to say.

WTF are you on about? Who's asking for unvaccinated people to be killed in the street? I noted that there is no need for mandatory vaccination because the majority of people are already taking it.

When I said it (meaning the virus) will burn through the unvaccinated, I'm basing this on what's happening in the US at the moment.
