Pandemic Amnesty? No, people will not forgive and forget what was done to them.

Now that it's "over," the media is asking for forgiveness and to forget how the unvaxxed were so disrespected, harassed, mocked, coerced, and threatened if they didn't take the shot.

No, they (and those who have those same views) don't get to attack people (even if it's just emotionally) and we all just forgive and forget, nope, that ain't happening. People need to be held accountable for their actions so that they don't have an inflated ego and try to belittle others for having different views and concerns about their own health in regards to taking an injection.

I know a lot of you here are in favor of the Covid Vaccine and that's fine, but don't try to push it on to others. Let each and everyone make their own decision respectfully.

What are you gonna do about it
This. I'm gonna keep on mocking every grown "man" who's afraid of a little poke in the shoulder for the sake of preventative care. Following the trend, I'm surprised y'all can even handle brushing your teeth regularly, though I'm sure plenty of you don't do that either.

Being flat-out stupid does not make you a rebel.

Nah, anti-vaxxors were and are wrong, they don't deserve forgiveness for spreading misinformation and costing the lives of countless people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not the people who didn't take the vaccine who are asking for amnesty is it?

I'm not scared of a needle, but seeing the side effects my parent and siblings went through after getting the poke scared me into not getting it. I'm not an anti-vaxer for all vaxes, but I won't get a covid vax. And even after the side effects they went through, we all ended up getting Covid at the same time anyway, and it was mild. Just stuff tasting weird for 2 weeks, and a fever.

I legit don’t know who’s asking, I am not going to lie. But regardless, anti-vax crowd doesn’t deserve to be forgiven for their actions. Unless they finally realized that they were wrong, then they should be forgiven

Forgiveness for what exactly? Explain how one person not being vaccinated threatens the life of another?

One person not being vaccinated increases the risk of spreading the virus to those around them. The issue isn't just one person though, it's an entire movement of misinformation that had contributed to covid spreading faster and with greater effectiveness. Going deeper into the fact that anti-vaxxors have caused the spread and increase the rise of preventable diseases like mumps, measles, and so on. It's not just one person or one person, it's a movement that cost the health and lives of countless people.

Excuse me... The media is asking forgiveness for the UNVACCINATED people? Fucking serious? Those crybabies who claim their "personal freedom" is more important than the wellbeing of our species? They fucking power the rest of the world an apology for their irresponsible mad behavior.

Have i told you that a year ago we were forced to ban unvaccinated people from our restaurants but could do nothing about the fact that my colleague(who might still not have gotten his first shot for all we know) could still go in and do his job because it involved going to these stores? The guy had the nerve to be disgruntled that the rest of us got half a day off to get to the vaccination center.
Out how about the fact that republican states who downplayed the importance had higher covid death counts than less moronic states?

Also... Just how 'over' is it really, though? My mother had her fourth shot a couple months back. She had gotten covid(again) about a week ago and is still having symptoms today (well... Yesterday afternoon).

Ah, feels so good to be a pure blood and not have to worry about blood clots, myocarditis or heart attacks. No apologies necessary I feel great.

At some point maybe you should go "hrmm, maybe this vaccine doesn't do anything" but nah just keep doing what your Government tells you to do keep getting more and more clot shots (because more are coming) and think they have your best interest at heart. You should get on your knees and pray to your Government for protection and it'll really help you in the future.

You can't make a vaccine in the time period covid hit and the time it came out, in fact it was reviewed already December 2019 before covid was even a big deal anywhere but China. There's supposed to be 3-5 years of clinical trials for any vaccine. Covid and the vaccine are a scam I hope one day the world wakes up to that.

If I recall weren't most of the Covid vaccines mRNA sequenced injections, tasked with the purpose of decreasing hospitalization - not necessarily keeping you from getting sick?

I'm not trying to state a fact, as I will fully accept the fact that I might be wrong. Not as well versed in this topic anymore so my memory is fuzzy lol.

The people who were whining about their personal freedoms are trying to be the victims here?! LOL! GTFO!

Those same people who didn't want to mask up, or take the vaccine actively helped spread the virus more than the people who did got the jab and wore masks. This whole slog has been over three years, but could have been contained earlier if it weren't for the weakest links of our society.

All vaccines are there for training your body on how to deal with an external virus. You introduce a dying version of that virus, and your body easily kills it and learns from that experience. The next time the virus infects your system, the immune system response is faster at identifying it, and removing it.

In the case of covid, it has statistically caused hospitalizations for vaccinated people to drop immensely, because their immune system can easily take care of the virus. The vast majority of people there are unvaccinated, especially for those on ventilators.

People out there seem to think that vaccines are a shield that will prevent infections. That's never been the case in the history of vaccines.

There was never any chance to "contain" this, and it hasn't been contained. It never will be "contained". The vaccines was a capitalistic venture that "politicians" (aka inside traders of law and stock) and pharmaceutical companies (aka politicians) were on like white on rice. It was never, ever, humanitarian. Overpromise, underdeliver, then shift the blame.

This implies you believe it's an issue. They're all edge cases. But ey... At least you're not peddling the more insane theories.
At some point maybe you should go "hrmm, maybe this vaccine doesn't do anything" but nah just keep doing what your Government tells you to do keep getting more and more clot shots (because more are coming) and think they have your best interest at heart.

It's no different from a flu shot: it protects against the worse effects. Not against the disease itself.
As to the effect: I'm not looking at individual cases but hospital occupations. And in that case, it's pretty much standard fare again rather than the near overwhelming of the last years.

Also: i believe in virologists and medical staff. Our government was slow and inadequate. Still better than some countries, but i take offense at your assumption that i do more than condone my government. Please don't make these assumptions, as i never said or implied I'm a sucker for them.

You can't make a vaccine in the time period covid hit and the time it came out, in fact it was reviewed already December 2019 before covid was even a big deal anywhere but China. There's supposed to be 3-5 years of clinical trials for any vaccine. Covid and the vaccine are a scam I hope one day the world wakes up to that.
We could, we did. Worldwide cooperation and the fact it's a branch of an already familiar branch of virii (corona is the brand, covid 19 just the most potent member of the family). This isn't a secret either, so why mention this piece of information?
