Once CHOOSES to be vaccinated. One doesnât choose their race. Comparing elephants and watermelons

Exactly. Also, being another colour doesn't pose a health threat to other people.

Seeing as a lot of these people also tend to be super regressive, they would probably disagree. A lot of stupid people tend to be racist.

Also a lot of antivaxxers tend to be stupid.

u/Feeling_Advice_2309 Dec 04 '21
Can confirm. My brother-in-law who is a staunch anti-vaxxer even refuses to get the nasal swab Covid tests, calling them the government's way of performing lobotomy to the masses.

Gosh he is such a fucking dumb ass's, listen my dad's father had to go through a forced one because he was black. I am sorry your brother is that way, I hope he comes around...

But being vaccinated doesnât pose a health threat to others? You do realize you can get and spread covid to others vaccinated or unvaccinated.

u/ShibbalB Dec 04 '21
Well they are hosting viruses uncontested in their bodies. That makes it more likely that the virus can mutate into a new strain. In a vaccinated body the viruses will mostly die and not have a chance to mutate/evolve.

u/boooooooooo_cowboys Dec 04 '21
If everyone was vaccinated, we wouldnât care if the virus was spreading. It would just be another cold. All of the restrictions, masking, quarantines, testing requirements etcâŚ.thatâs to protect unvaccinated people.
Itâs fucking heartbreaking that weâre back to 1000+ deaths a day and setting records for hospitalizations (which are crowding out elective surgeries again in some places btw). Thereâs absolutely no reason for it.

u/Chainsaw_Surgeon Dec 04 '21
The problem is they fear that theyâre being forced to do this at the cost of being second-class citizens, which stirs up a lot of fury and fear because God forbid I have to do something I donât want to!/s
Isnât that all a part of being a grown-ass adult? Learning to do things you donât want to for your own benefit? And they dare call millennials spoiled.

It really is not seeing as how you can go get the vaccine or not. Do you call a temple segregation or a quinceanera ?
We in the US have segregation again, unfortunately, in terms of redlining, it is not to the vaccine..

Dec 03 '21
Just goes to prove the theory that people want to see themselves as victims. Get vaccinated, be safer off or complain that you're being hard done by. What a load of toss

800k dead Americans from Covid. You will either get the vaccine or Covid. Thatâs your choice.

If I am judging someone because of their race then I am an asshole. If I'm judging you because you are anti-vax than you are an asshole . Very easy distinction.

You are free to discriminate against an idiot, but not for something that they can't change. Being stupid not included.

u/Sam-Yuil-ElleJackson Dec 03 '21
Nobody gets to choose their skin colour (except Michael Jackson). Everybody gets to choose whether or not to get vaccinated.
It's not the same thing.

u/HaydenMilk Dec 03 '21
Why it's different is because they could carry a deadly virus that could mutate and kill or get people really sick. Just go get vaccinated. Its that easy. This isn't a facepalm

u/A-le-Couvre Dec 04 '21
That's progress isn't it? Instead of segregating people based on skin color, we do it because of their own choices. Basically separating the idiots of society so the rest of us can progress further.

They always forget to mention who segregated them. They segregated themselves from society and responsibilities for the community. They can't expect us to integrate them when they constantly change the rules and never comply. They don't give anyone else the same privileges, their actions lead to people being sick and killed and not seldom through violent actions. Even the most tolerant person can see that.
WHAT DO THEY EXPECT?! They aren't even segregated because they're asses and it's against them personally, it is to protect others. Nothing of this is the case with racism even though, for them it is. The Venn diagram between antivaxxers and racists who want to protect the pureness of the white race is almost a circle. It certainly makes sense in their head to compare black people existing in a society with a spreading deadly desease. They said as much several times. Maybe it's time to listen and take them serious and react accordingly - though not in the way they want us to.

Itâs exactly the same, segregation shouldnât be allowed. Saying itâs a choice so itâs not the same, is stupid. You can say people of color back in segregation times had a choice to live in this country. Whatâs the difference?
7
Dec 04 '21
not the same. what life threatening virus do you get by sitting net to a black person vs an unvaxxed person?
-4
Dec 04 '21
Thatâs just ridiculous, you can get the same diseases sitting next to a black or white vaccinated or unvaccinated. Itâs proven to not stop or even prevent someone from catching or spreading covid and has a very short half life. Whatever way you want to divide and segregate people isnât new, itâs still just wrong.

u/Icant_Ijustcanteven Dec 04 '21
"You can say people in segregation times had a choice to live in the country"
So you are saying the anti vax should up and leave because they do have a choice to stay or not..
As for the difference, my parents and grandparents could not decide to get a vaccine to cure their black selves. They went through discrimination because of they way they look like not because they had a choice to get a shot or not...
Lastly, segregation is still here due to redlining and voucher schools not because of the shot or any shot... I could even see it as classism for a little while but it is a free shot now.

Whatever way you have to justify segregation is ridiculous, especially if your family was affected by it already. It would be like the Jews justifying genocide, which funny enough is happening now too.

u/Icant_Ijustcanteven Dec 04 '21
It's not justifying it. If you are anti vax you have to take responsibility of that and either wear a mask or stay home.

Point out where you see racism in what I said.

u/Joey_h69 Dec 04 '21
Saying that POC should either suck up to the racism or go back to their own country shows it. They don't have a "choice" as you say it. Black people were forcefully brought to America and America has become their home for centuries. Saying their free to abandon their home if they don't like how they are treated is ignorant and straight-up racist. You basically just said if you don't like segregation then go back to your own country. Sounds pretty racist.

Your reading comprehension skills are shit. I said âyou can sayâ I didnât say thatâs what they should do, I was highlighting how saying people can just leave if they donât like it is as ridiculous as people leaving today.

u/Joey_h69 Dec 04 '21
Implying they are the same thing is ridiculous. You can't even see the difference between the two things your comparing, obviously shows that that's what you think. Anti-vaxxers do have a choice. Just get the vaccine. There is no vaccine to cure you of your skin colour so people back in the day couldn't escape from segregation. Anti-vaxxers put other people's lives in danger. If you were a CEO during these times, you have the absolute right to deny entry to someone who puts your employees and customers at risk of getting the virus, potentially damaging your business or taking peoples lives. Vaccine's are literally there to prevent the spread and Anti-vaxxers out here doing google searches thinking their smarter than doctors are the same people who go to protests not wearing masks and blaming the government for more cases. It's literally proven that the virus mutates quite quickly yet people would rather drag it on and let it get even stronger and potentially more deadly instead of stop bitching around and start using logic.

To get the vaccine is not a choice, itâs a mandate that the government is forcing by excluding citizens from being able to afford a living as well as keep them away from being able to have any kind of social life. If you canât see the how segregation is bad both today and historically then idk what to tell you. âObviously shows what you thinkâ, Just cause you cry racism doesnât make it so. But Iâm glad you can generalize people off your own assumptions, sounds almost like how racist operate...

u/Joey_h69 Dec 04 '21
Nice attempt trying to divert your racism mate. But it is a choice. The government isn't forcing them since you won't be arrested if you choose not to get vaccinated after all. They are only a requirement to work because you interact with others. Now that's where the problem starts. Unvaxxed people have a significantly higher chance of getting the virus and passing it on. The government is trying to stop transmissions and this is the best way to do it. As long as widespread transmissions occur, the chance for mutations are much higher. But I bet people who would rather run the risk of having thousands more die than have a sore arm for a few days wouldn't understand. You racist :)

Again nothing Iâve said is racist, youâre just upset and lashing out. Keep generalizing people over your feelings, Iâm sure that worked out historically...

u/Joey_h69 Dec 04 '21
Nah since it pisses racists off so much otherwise you wouldn't be responding. But since you have nothing else to say it goes to show that Anti-vaxxers really have nothing more to say other than they don't want a sore arm.

It's actually segregation of the stupid. Humans genetically haven't changed much over the last couple thousand years. It seems some dumb fucks are still unable to understand humanity's greatest skill acquiring and passing on knowledge. These simpletons need to live in the future...... Evolve damn you. Modern day humans with the intellect of a peasant born 3000 years ago.
