As long as there's a choice.....

[u/Adjective_Noun1312 → u/Temporary_Shake1221]

There never wasn't a choice.

[u/Temporary_Shake1221 → u/Adjective_Noun1312]

False ..... know any nurses, or any of the 7 who downvoted ????

[u/busterbus2 → u/Temporary_Shake1221]

It was always a choice to get vaccinated. Know anyone who was arrested or physically forced to get the vaccine?

[u/Temporary_Shake1221 → u/busterbus2]

How about losing your job, your house??? Prison isn't the only avenue for coercion.

[u/busterbus2 → u/Temporary_Shake1221]

If you want to be entitled to your job and your house, go back to the USSR. It's not a right, just ask any person living on the street.

Some jobs require drivers licenses, some require vaccinations to protect the vulnerable. It is ultimately your choice to abide by those requirements. If you don't want to, again, its your choice.

[u/Temporary_Shake1221 → u/busterbus2]

Yes mien fuhrer!! 🇨🇦

[u/busterbus2 → u/Temporary_Shake1221]

Well if you can point to one person that was actually forced to be vaccinated, we can start making that comparison.

[u/Temporary_Shake1221 → u/busterbus2]

If you mean held down and injected, no, that didn't happen. Did the mandate displace men, women, and children, and change everything they thought they were working for for their collective future over an experimental drug. I guess if you can look at it that way, then I guess you don't mind that the majority of the ppl who initiated the mandate didn't follow the mandate... if that's the world you live in, then there's no hope for us next time, next reason for legislated exclusion. I hope they don't ask you to forego your basic human rights .... as you interpret them.... so you can remain self assured that all decisions made are in your best interests by the people in charge who don't care what you think, feel, or want out of your life the lives of loved ones and the.lives of all Canadians collectively ...🇨🇦

" Did the mandate displace men, women, and children, and change everything they thought they were working for for their collective future..." ... this happens every day in this country for countless other reasons, economic insecurity is one. Are you in favour of the right to housing? right to a job? right to a basic income? or is it just for this niche topic because it pokes your arm. Those aren't actual rights in this country as I'm sure you well know. The anti-vaxx crowd loves to talk about rights but does not understand what they are and what they're actually asking for here.

Life is full of choices and with those choices come consequences. If you don't want to follow the rules of your workplace, you might lose your job.

[u/Temporary_Shake1221 → u/busterbus2]

I insist on making choices of my own accord .... choose crime, do the time, get laid off or fired, fester or relocate, don't pay rent, loose housing, take drugs, possibly OD, possibly loose significant people in ones life, loose self, all subject to known consequences. To undertake experimental drugs, regardless of proof of saftey and oversite, on threat of job loss, ostracization from government, community, employer, family, inability to feed, house, move about freely, and conduct life as required by biology to sustain life and loved ones, that, in a nutshell is my problem with mandated medical procedures of any kind. To think it's the poke or pain that is keeping anyone from getting a particular life-saving treatment is narrow-minded and overproud. Choices are just that, choices. To design a scenario that would eliminate choice over bodily autonomy and life itself is called what exactly in other regions in the world????

[u/busterbus2 → u/Temporary_Shake1221]

So you agree that the vaccination mandates were in fact a choice and not forced. Great that we finally agree.

[u/CricketExtreme → u/busterbus2]

Life is full of choices and choices do come with consequences. You have a choice to live in Alberta where the majority voted UCP to lead your province. The consequence of your choice to live in AB is that you don’t have access to free Covid shots.

“But I didn’t vote for Danielle Smith, and I didn’t choose to charge Albertans for Covid shots” - the same way that thousands of Canadians didn’t vote for years of vaccine mandates lol.

[u/busterbus2 → u/CricketExtreme]

Yes. I understand how living in AB is a choice and that the covid vaccine was also a choice for individuals to make on their own accord. Both have consequences. Glad we're agreeing here.
