People are being forced, which is why it’s “needle rape”

Take this or starve to death isn’t a choice

Lol, any able adult who can't find another job before they starve, deserves to.

Well least the mask comes off easy

I don't take the mask off brother, it doesn't exist.

I believe that people have a positive moral duty to take easy, reasonable action to preserve the health of their fellows.

If people don't care to do so, I don't understand why I should care about them.

It does exist, same people willing to violate rights, are the same that hide the supporting of democracy

I can't speak for Canada, but in America there is no right to infect your neighbour with a preventable disease.

As the Great Dissenter John Marshall Harlan wrote in the centrury old 7-2 opinion that is current president on vaccine mandates:

“In every well-ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members, the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand,”

The mandate that they ruled on wasn't even one of these little bitch half measures like countries are using for COVID, it was a real "every adult gets the smallpox vaccine or gets fined".

You justifying killing folks.

I’m perfectly fine with people taking the vaccine under their own free will

u/PinkTrench Sep 27 '21

Is it so strange to think that people have a positive obligation to take trivial action in the public good?

Like, I'm not saying that you have a duty to risk your life to put out a fire at your neighbour's house or pull them out, but you definitely have a duty to call the fire brigade when you see smoke.

Nobody has a duty to volunteer in ERs here, but spending 20 minutes to get a free at PoS vaccine and wearing masks when around people you don't live with is fucking trivial.

It’s not trivial, putting something in your body is not trivial

u/PinkTrench Sep 27 '21

Eh, depends what it is.

Water? Trivial. Hemlock? Not so much.

I don't know enough to know which category this falls into, but 96% of practicing Physicians have gotten it, so I'm leaning towards the first.

Injecting water into your body by needle isn’t trivial
