Should a person make their own decision on carrying a pregnancy to term? The language you use, "decision... their own body", is just like the language used by the pro-choice movement.

Exactly. Context is important.
This is true. I had noticed this as well with much of the arguments made in the news and on social media about the vaccines and mandates. The difference is that a pregnant woman has another body inside her, so it is impossible to claim bodily autonomy. But similarly, and this is largely missed or ignored by anti-vaxxers, one person with the virus inevitably affects others, so the bodily autonomy argument fails as well. (Sorry, I see you made that point in your most recent post. haha)
Exactly.
Which when I did take caused diarrhea and also the tests on it show it has no effect on covid recovery same as a placebo .
The belief that things like ZPaks and ivermectin help is rather ironic, since the main claim of most anti-vaxxers is that 99% (or thereabouts) of people recover from COVID, so it is nothing serious, nothing more than a flu (of course, some argue falsely that it is the flu). However, when they get COVID, they take medications to "help." They then attribute their getting better to the medication rather than their belief that most people get better from COVID without intervention.
I am anti mask mandate ,not because masks bother me .just that I was forced to wear one that unless it ripped off ,I got no new ones
Ugh I stand corrected on pelosi .she didn't buy a home in Jupiter island .
though I don't think the fetus is a person (don't want to derail the thread with that too much though), certainly anyone who calls themselves pro-life should be concerned that their decisions not to get vaccinated are harming others.
There will always be some who are allergic or otherwise harmed by any vaccine. This is why you're required to stay in the area for about 20 min. after receiving it. Life-threatening complications, which are rare, will almost always happen in that time. (and they are easily treated) In 8 years operating an immunization service for the Air Force, I've had two such cases, and only one was life-threatening. A quick shot of epinephrine reversed the reaction, although he had to stay in ICU overnight to make sure his system had cleared all of the antigen before he was released, and he required two further does of epinephrine before morning.
My wife's grandparents had a house on Jupiter Island. One year there, I was fascinated to see a manatee in the canal between Jupiter and Tequesta.

Wow, that's very few people. Very very few. Virtually every vaccine, including the ones that are mostly uncontroversial, has claimed a whole lot more lives than that. Of course some people's bodies will react to every vaccine in negative ways that can result in death.
