Vaccine

KIRBSTER269
I'm bringing this up, Just because I'm wondering if anybody else has seen or heard anything like this.

I was at the Gym the other day, talking to a younger fellow, late 20's early 30's, So he told me he got the shot, and told him, that's great, I hope it works well for you, He then ask if I took it, I said no, not interested, nor am I sick. What he told me next really upset me, He said "Well I really didn't want the shot but my company made me take it, or I would not be allowed to come back to work" This is clearly crossing the line. I told him you should have just quit, right then and there. As many LAZY people who refuse to work, there are many job opportunities out there. Is this even legal?? Now don't get me wrong, I am a true believer in modern medicine, If I have a headache, I will take a Tylenol. I am not going to take a Tylenol to prevent a headache. If I had Cancer, Probably would go through chemotherapy treatment, not going to go through the treatment to prevent cancer. I see now that in North Carolina, they are going door to door. What?? that's safe a bunch of "volunteers" walking around with syringes, Really? I guess this would be ok if a crack head coming up and giving you a shot, He or She has their own personal syringe. Simply put our bodies were built from day one to fight off diseases, viruses, and other stuff, No one wants to die and with modern medicine helps cheat death, but when the fight is over, it's over, but that fight is yours and yours alone. I remember when I was 17 years old and I worked on a farm, when we vaccinated 200 piglets. What a day that was, but those piglets had no choice in the matter. So what was the end game? Why did we give them Vaccines? Well, the farmer needed them all to be healthy and make it till full size, So that in the end, he would make a good profit off of the good little piglets, but how many piglets, had to die prior to the Vaccine to be good for these piglets? There are wild pigs out there, that don't get the luxury of having these shots, but they live a long life. Difference is one gets to go wherever he wants, while the other is stuck in a fenced in area, for that politician, or I'm sorry, "farmer" to make money.

All in all, I want to end with this, If you want to get the shot, do it on your terms, if you don't want it, just tell the nosey people that ask you, that you got it, that way they don't bother you, technically it's none of their business, it used to be that was between you and your doctor, apparently everyone needs to know if that caged up little piggy has his or her shot.


  • I worked at a construction site in California, many years ago, for a few months. There are so many rules and regulations in that state for EVERYTHING. It amazes me that anything gets done there. I figured California would require everyone to wear their vaccine cards like a name tag.

    Those rules and regulations are for those on the "outside" those on the "inside" get things done with little to no problems.
  • I feel uncomfortable getting the vaccine because it was released under the legal protection of an emergency use authorization (PREP Act). This protection was requested by the vaccine manufacturers and granted by congress because the drugs have not undergone adequate long-term testing.

    Once long-term testing is complete..if the need is still present..and IF there are no "Did you or a loved one get the experimental M-RNA Covid-19 Vaccine between 2021 and 2023? YOU might be entitled to compensation!" commercials...I will consider it. Until then, I like being a healthy 30year old who socially distanced WAYYY before it was the cool thing to do.

    Because of the PREP Act, there most likely will not be any commercials about compensation. No one will be able to sue the drug companies. As for the government, there are still 9/11 1st responders waiting for compensation for their illnesses and injuries. If anything happens, all you will get is a sad trombone sound.

    Legally, they can require you to get vaccinated. It's probably not a good idea, especially if they don't already require any other vaccinations. But, yes, they can do it. HIPAA doesn't prevent your employer from requiring it, or asking you if you have, or anything really. HIPAA prevents your health care provider from giving that information to your employer without your permission.


  • LEGALLY it is none of their business, hippa law, don't cha know. They can ask all they want, but legally, you don't have to tell them anything.

    Hippa is feminine for hippo?

    HIPAA laws:

    In general, the HIPAA Rules do not apply to employers or employment records. HIPAA only applies to HIPAA covered entities – health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses – and, to some extent, to their business associates. If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated, that is not a HIPAA violation, and employees may decide whether to provide that information to their employer.

    HIPAA doesn't prevent, and never has prevented, employers from asking their employee about health care. Some other laws prevent discrimination for things like handicap accommodations (Americans with Disabilities Act). But, HIPAA doesn't apply to employers, or employer/employee relationships.

    Such is your right, working in an "at will" state.
  • I am vaccinated. My employer has never asked. There has been no talk of requiring it. We relaxed our covid screenings when Governor Witless relaxed the state mandates. But, there is no difference in treatment for employees or visitors who are, or are not, vaccinated. We don't ask.
  • My new employer has not asked and we have no guidelines for masks or distancing. I will not be getting the vaccine at all. If someone does not want to be around me because I'm not vaccinated, then I don't want to be around them either.

    So your company practices "Don't ask, don't tell"??? Rolling eyes

    What if someone doesn't want to be around you just because you're ugly? Slight smile
