How do you feel about Texas telling private businesses what they can and cannot do?
I love the question as it strikes at the heart of the philosophy to the argument. Personally, my values consist around 30% liberal, 30% conservative, and 40% libertarian. Since my strongest are toward libertarian, I would have to factor this question and I do not approve of any state/government overreach.

However, I believe this issue is a civil rights matter. Civil rights issues are things I believe in and will fight for. I am in my last year of grad school and the code of ethics factors into nearly all of our comprehensive curriculum and reasoning. Autonomy is one that I am extremely fond of.

I believe a person's bodily autonomy should be protected and that laws should exist to protect this right. I also believe a company/business that mandates a vaccine that was created in 1/4 the time it took to create one for mumps, is breaking the ethic of bodily autonomy. If that business chooses to do so, they should incur the liability for the relief of any potential adverse reactions. Any business that agrees to this, I am okay with. But they aren't doing this.

So the forced medical procedure, with zero liability to anyone should an adverse reaction occur, is wrong in my eyes. It is a derision of ethics to the largest minority that exists. The individual.
 
MARIETTA, Ga. (WVLA) – Country music legend Travis Tritt announced Monday that he is canceling several shows at venues with COVID safety measures, calling mandatory vaccines and test results discrimination against his fans.

Tritt is canceling four shows in the cities listed below because they are requiring “proof of COVID vaccination, mask mandates, or testing.”

  • Muncie, Indiana on Oct. 23
  • Philadelphia, Mississippi on November 6
  • Peoria, Illinois on Nov 11
  • Louisville, Kentucky on Nov. 13
 
That w a s put in, I thought, to protect people's medical privacy. Seems it is just used randomly?
It protects you from doctors sharing your information with other people in most cases. If I'm with you on a doctor visit and go and tell someone what the doctor told you, that's not a violation of HIPAA.
 
You mean telling them they can’t enforce a mandate that he forbade by a previous executive order? Yeah I’m all for that. Don’t need businesses enforcing illegal mandates. Hope you are for that as well.
Guess my whole deal is why does he get to tell private businesses what they can and can't do in the first place? Be it an executive order or not. Outside of the protected classes in which you can't discriminate against, why does he get to dictate store decisions?
 
or maybe they are trying to save lives and end a highly infectious, airborne pathogen from existence.
Damn…. You should hide in your basement and never come out!

And if you think the government (republican or democrat) gives a shit about you and is truthful and transparent, you’re naive AF!!

Wake the f#ck up and realize what the hell is really going on!!

He, and other governors, tell them that they can’t serve spoiled food. That they can’t discriminate. That they can’t serve too many drinks to drunk people. That they can’t jack prices up after a natural disaster. And they can certainly tell them that they can’t violate their executive orders. They tell businesses what they can or cannot do all the time of it is in the public interest.

Serious question… and if all Americans are mandated to get the vaccine do you find it odd that the immigrants coming into our country are also not mandated to do the same?

I mean if you’re really wanting to stop the highly infectious pathogen and letting millions of immigrants in shouldn‘t the rules be the same?

You won’t get an answer. Lol…..

I would love to see a Gov ran operation at the border giving shots. I would also love my taxes being raised so that I could do my part and pay for it. What could go wrong?

30% of covid death in Maryland in the last 6 weeks we’re fully vaccinated. Shot don’t stopped you from getting or spreading COVID-19
 
I got my MBA from Wazzu so I have followed this closely. He's on a three game winning streak against weak schools but the program appeared an absolute hot mess prior to this. The school saw opportunity to fire with cause and pounced. Nothing more, nothing less. If Rolo felt this strongly to forfeit $3M, then I I guess he sure did show everyone a lesson.
 
Some scary shit being witnessed with this vaccination issue…the amount of people I know of that’s had what appears to be pretty severe reactions & even passed away after receiving the vaccine makes me go HUM🤔…to many perfectly healthy people having health issues & dropping dead shortly after getting vaccinated…no proof the vaccine was the cause but still makes you think😬

Then you got the government forcing the vaccine mandate on sectors where they have the ability to flex their power & to do so makes one question the the fact if we actual have the health freedoms we once had…I can’t help but think there is a financial scam being implemented with no regard to human health…Glad I’m self employed & can tell Uncle Sam to go f¥ck off until further studies provide proof the vaccine is safe…I’m not going to risk a chance of a bad reaction on a computer generated vaccine that are government is attempting to force…something smells like the Arkansas Defense the last three games with this vaccine 💩…I chose to catch it & deal with a five day cold with hopes I now have natural immunity for the next time I contaminated with covid.
PS, I’ve supported all my friends who chose to get the vaccine with hopes they support my decision to not take the jab!!
Sure you know people that passed away from vaccinations. Good one. Now you may know some that passed despite being vaccinated but I highly doubt you know the few out of the hundreds of millions in the US who have been vaccinated who had an adverse reaction enough to die. But I personally know dozens who died of covid.

Dozens who’ve died from Covid?

At a minimum that’s 24 people. In the US, there have been 2,245 deaths per million people. In essence, you’re telling me you know at least 10k people.

Impressive.
 
How so? The only thing the vaccines have done in a positive light is lower hospitalizations in the short term. Other than that, all they’ve done is make the most corrupt pharmaceutical companies more money, a corrupt government more power hungry, and give people false confidence that they are protected over the long term. All while Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J are protected from any liability. For approximately 6 months of protection, mind you.

Natural immunity is proven 6-13x stronger and nobody wants to discuss it. The vaccines don’t work. If they did, we wouldn’t be discussing boosters after 6 months. Wake up, dude.
Do you realize that you have to get the virus to develop natural immunity?
 
More money for education is .......well evil is too strong a word.....but it is an _______ statement
 
Next question then. What if he already had it. Science says his antibiotics are as sufficient, if not more, than the vax. So why would he need it then?
Quit spreading lies. Please.
 
Quit spreading lies. Please.
Listen, I’m pro vacc…but this is a terrible argument…

Liferally the first paragraph of your link:

“Getting COVID-19 offers some natural protection or immunity from reinfection with the COVID-19 virus. But it’s not clear how long this protection lasts.

Because it’s possible to get reinfected and COVID-19 can cause severe medical complications, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people who have already had COVID-19 get a COVID-19 vaccine.

In addition, COVID-19 vaccination might offer better protection than getting sick with COVID-19…

Recent research also suggests that people who got COVID-19 in 2020 and then received mRNA vaccines produce very high levels of antibodies that are likely effective against current and, possibly, future variants. Some scientists call this hybrid immunity. Further research is needed.

This is one of the most lawyer speak bull shït articles one could imagine.

- we dont know how good the protection is, so trust us
- you can get reinfected either way, so why not
- it may be helpful, so why not.
- the data looks like it could be good, so why not
- at the end of the day, though, we’re not sure and need to keep looking
 
So back to your point. Who stands more to gain? Who controls the levers for this to be gained? I believe the pharmaceutical companies who continually keep our medications/healthcare costs rising at an unsustainable trend and who heavily influence policy to gain the most, while those who administrate policy control the levers for them.
- I do not believe the pharmaceutical companies are even remotely altruistic. However, using your approach here, you would never take any vaccine, no matter how perfect or how needed. Simply because those who have made it will make money off it. All the while supporting those who promote much more expensive treatment methods made by the same pharmaceutical companies.

- Back to the Alabama doctors. When you live in a state where the vaccination rate is around 50%, that's a huge amount of potential patients. For 23 doctors out of 10,600 (0.22%) registered in the state to promote something that could appeal to 50% of the potential customers (and donors), that's good business. Maybe not ethical, but certainly identifying a hell of an opportunity.

Its all the other doctors that are telling a large portion of their customer base something they don't like or want to hear.
 
Guess my whole deal is why does he get to tell private businesses what they can and can't do in the first place? Be it an executive order or not. Outside of the protected classes in which you can't discriminate against, why does he get to dictate store decisions?
Do you have the same issue with the president, or governors in other states, telling private businesses that they must require vaccinations, masks, etc for their employees/customers? Just checking for ideological consistency here.
