Good thing I work a ******** job that shouldn't exist and could be automated but would get rid of tens of thousands of government workers and contractors in the process so I'm stuck.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Asks All U.S. Employees to Share Vaccination Status, Still No Mandate

So all the vaxxed people who still caught covid and can still transmit the virus... where do they fit in you rube? Gonna spray your Mom in the face with Lysol as well? Assuming shes vaxxed, she can still spread it to you just like the unvaxxed.
The "approved" version of the vaccine is not currently available. You may want to edit your statement. Also, if you lysol anyone in the face, you could be arrested and charged with assault/battery. Or you may get the crap kicked out of you. Or both. Be careful, Karen.
"Giuliani-Barr Syndrome", is another serious complication causing people to refuse getting vaccinated.

Firing people is a serious issue. Don’t be so casual about that. Insane.
Your second statement is actuarial nonsense. On average a 30 year old unvaccinated person is far cheaper medically than a 50 year old vaccinated person.
If they smoke in the workplace absolutely they should be fired. But we’ve mitigated most secondhand smoke in the US. Not so much with COVID.
Your “freedom” of choice ends when you are actively endangering someone else’s freedoms of life. You don’t get to speed or ignore stop signs without consequences. You shouldn’t get to walk around spreading an easily preventable deadly virus either. George Washington was in favor of mandatory inoculation. The Supreme Court has ruled multiple times it’s Constitutional. You have no excuse to keep endangering others lives by refusing a simple action. That’s not freedom, that’s tyranny.
Every year heart disease kills almost that many. Random pieces of useless information.
SOME PEOPLE CANNOT GET VACCINATED
Surprised macrumors left this thread open ?
This thread is very entertaining! So far we have someone threatening to shoot people, and another wanting to throw Lysol in people's faces.
Let me know if/when the airstrikes are planned. Or ASW.

imagine taking medical advice from a person on the Internet that calls himself Witch Doctor. The anti-vax movement is a Riddle wrapped inside of stupid.
wow seriously... get your facts right before saying such stupid things.
Many people live fear based lives. They wait for the next thing to be afraid of. Killer bees, covid, meteor, earthquakes, etc. Usually these people are very poor at calculating risks.
George also believed in bloodletting. I'm not sure we should be taking advice from someone who has been dead for over 200 years.
I'm not giving anyone medical advice. Point out where I was.
You want to get this injection, have at it. I don't care either way.
Current US Covid stats from Johns Hopkins University.
If you're arguing against vaccines, then you're part of the problem.

All the more reason those around them should be. Someone who can’t be vaccinated dying because of someone who won’t is tragic.
The current vaccine is far less effective against delta than hoped. It still works but not so much that we should be freaking out about it. Israel is highly vaccinated and have published their data showing that the vaccine does not protect against hospitalization as well as hoped.
Israel data also repeats what has been consistently shown … the most protected are those who have had the disease.
Given these factors continuing to threaten job lose for a disease that is relatively benign in the work force strikes me as mass hysteria. I got vaccinated. It important for my job. I know lots of people that don’t want to. Some have already had CV19 and simply don’t see the need, some simply don’t want to because it’s not a risk to them. Given that the disease continues to kill the frailest, even when vaccinated, I think it’s unnecessary to push it on young healthy people.

Exactly...we could even just lower the speed limit to 30 mph, it would save 10's of thousands of lives a year due to less severe crashes and more reaction time, but I see no one mandating that or supporting that. I'm so fed up with hystaria over covid. If you are vaccinated or under 50 and healthy the odds of covid being a severe problem for you are extremly low. The vaccine is available for all if they want it. There seems to be this false assumption we can beat COVId like we erradicate small pox...anyone who understands this virus knows that's not possible, but we will keep pushing for that apparently.
I know its a hard concept but there wouldn't be something to spread if we stopped the virus by you know having a vaccinated population.
I guess no one reads the news about variants being more deadly lets drag this on as long as possible.
People in this country have turned into "muh freedoms" and literally are cool with killing people in masse.
Lets just close hospitals to the un-vaccinated and be done with it. I'm over it.
You're comparing apples and celery. Everything has a risk. But, when you can minimize the risk with such a simple precaution...
People want to live their lives.
Who will be the first Apple employee to claim this "vIoLaTeS mY hIpPa?"

I was making a point of his outrageous statement that its someones "right" to make others sick.
So if he can make me sick why can't I retaliate?
Stupid? Yup just like the original argument.
Guess I needed /s in this.
