Have you ever heard of taxes? The government paid the drug companies to produce the vaccines that have been instrumental in saving many, many lives. I recently received my fourth vaccine injection and -- guess what? -- I'm still alive.When something is too good to be true I usually question it. Like the jab is free get your free jab. Nothing is free. Do people think these products were just given to the government to give to the people for free .
It is absolutely disgraceful when anyone, especially Christians, make comparisons between the pandemic mandates and the Holocaust. It is such an ugly and fallacious right-wing tactic that believers need to stop promoting.Once upon a time there was a psychopath called Hitler, he brainwashed society through the media to believe a minority was a threat to society and sent them to camps in the name of the countries safety, and they done nothing wrong and they were no threat or problem. Never again.
Of course it isn't a coincidence, but what is your point? No one (or at least not many) like the mandates, so of course a PM is going to cancel them in the hopes that it will help them get re-elected. It does not mean that the mandates are useless or used only as a means of coercion or control. Politicians only care about two things: what can get them into power and what can keep them there. They'll do anything, even contradictory and hypocritical things, to achieve those objectives.It must be a coincidence suddenly mandates are lifted around the same time the PM calls the federal election.

Understood. No worries. I just have seen that comparison several times over the last year or so.Free I was not making comparisons as there is no comaprison. And I must admit I had been drinking so I probably say alot of things that don't make sense or are stupid so forgive me.
I fully agree.All I was trying to say is its not good to treat people differently because of there status in society. Everyone should be treated equally .
If some people pose more of a risk to others or themselves, then no, they should not be allowed out. Why should all be punished because of a relative few? As I have said before, actions have consequences.If some people are not allowed out then everyone should not be allowed out.
It's actually far from over. It may never be over, especially as long as people refuse to follow the mandates and/or not get vaccinated.Anyhow ita basically over . Things are getting back to normal and people can start to move on now. Society needs to work together and help each other out and just be peaceful and love thy neighbour.
I haven't seen a single person claim this during the entire pandemic. We know the vaccines don't provide 100% protection, but they help significantly, and we know that masks do something but are not close to 100% effective (for a number of reasons). Together though, along with distancing, proper hand washing, and sanitizing it can all work fairly well.If vaccinated persons and masks work .100 percent
The whole problem is that people can have it and not know they do, and so can spread it. This has been know for the better part of two years. RA tests are not that accurate when it comes to Omicron and it’s variants, so not letting you attend, as difficult as it was, was the best thing for everyone.Some things just don't make sense to me. I mean I understand there is a virus and everyone needs to be as safe as possible but to be a risk to others someone actually needs to have it first, I mean it's no one fault who does have it, no one asked for it or wants it. I mean I'm just unsure why people could not just take a test. People who do have the virus do the right thing and quarantine. I mean if vaccine can help prevent the more vulnerable people from getting really sick that's great. I mean why I was not allowed out people who was could go out and get 19 and still pass it on to others. Who's to say they didn't have it and were out and about, just because they got a health pass.
Its like a breath test people get tested to make sure they not a risk to themselves or others and if they are clean they are free to go and if not we'll most people lose there licence for a time until they learn there responsibilities. Its like going on assumptions rather than facts.
I was always happy to take a test. I would have taken a test before
everytime I went out if need be just to show I'm not placing others at risk. If I don't have 19 I'm not the one who could be placing anyone at risk.
As I said I'm getting vaccinated anyhow and I have never had a problem with it but I tell you it's not a nice feeling when your labelled by others especially your own family. A family member didn't want me to visit unless I was vaccinated, I mean could I not just do a rapid antigen test before visit and show them a negative result and then ask them what there issue is or what type of problem they think I am. Christmas I was not even allowed to see my family as family members didn't want anyone there who was not vaccinated, the family has a good time and party and you have to spend the day alone because your somehow seen as a problem.

Yes, mental health is very important, but would it be worth risking physical health, even death, for the sake of mental health? Depending on the jurisdiction, people have been able to meet, physically distanced, indoors and outdoors during the entire pandemic or at least for a good deal of time now. There are also Zoom, phone calls, texting, and email. All less than ideal but something is better than nothing. There is little reason for people to be completely isolated.Some people only think of physical health but mental health is also important. I mean if people can get exemptions they should be allowed mental health exemptions. Some people out there need there support groups or there interaction with others especially if they live alone, and it's not a good idea to force some people to be alone and isolate. It could damage there mental health even more or they could flip. They need to be looked after as well. I was thinking of peoples mental health during lockdowns. Especially if support groups and meeting were all forced to close.
There were a lot of deep dark bad things that went on during the lockdowns . Big Brother was in full operation , People not allowed to go walk in the parks !Yes, mental health is very important, but would it be worth risking physical health, even death, for the sake of mental health?

Not to mention the mental health issues that come from struggling with a severe COVID infection or long-COVID; the effects of both are well known.
Perhaps in Alabama. Here in New Mexico we could walk anywhere we wanted.There were a lot of deep dark bad things that went on during the lockdowns . Big Brother was in full operation , People not allowed to go walk in the parks !
Talking about the land down under as they say , Australia . Never been to New Mexico , I would like to see it some day .Perhaps in Alabama. Here in New Mexico we could walk anywhere we wanted.
Like I said, it depended on the jurisdiction.There were a lot of deep dark bad things that went on during the lockdowns . Big Brother was in full operation , People not allowed to go walk in the parks !
