PS: Marx was a genius in his own right. He proposed a theoretical society based on equality and the good of all. His teachings were perverted to a large degree by Lenin and Stalin, which has led to people tossing labels like "communist" and "socialist" around like insults. We are in a time right now more than ever where the greater good has to be deeply considered.
Marx was an idealist. He did not factor in basic human instincts like greed into his thinking, Lennon and Stalin are exactly the type of results from a Marxist society. A power vacuum will be filled by those who are thirsting for power.

That's what we're seeing in western Canada. I'm okay with people making a choice not to vaccinate, but they need to realize that they will not enjoy the same freedoms as those who have chosen to get vaccinated. There comes a point where individual rights must take second place to the safety of the many.
Yup you can still spread the disease after inoculation and you can still catch the disease . And you want to make two classes of citizenship. Good for you , now should we put the same standard on other unhealthy lifestyles ?
How do you suggest we identify these heretics, the Star of David or a Red Cross ?

What are the demographics? Who are they and why aren't they getting jabbed? Is it Rightie Whities? Urban? Rural? Mormosexuals? Hutties? Injuns? Marxists?

Take a guess.

Yes, you can, but to a significant lesser degree and with significantly reduced consequences. It's not a good reason to avoid vaccinating.
So how is vaccine effective ? If I am unvaccinated and don’t catch Covid am I a risk to others ?

You can also die while being fully vaccinated either with COVID or by side effects, doesn't sound like much more freedom than being unvaccinated does it?

The target here is to reduce the spread of the virus, and vaccination so far is our most effective tool to accomplish that. In the absence of a vaccination, then falling back to the physical precautions of masking and distancing is needed. Having unvaccinated people mix with vaccinated people in high risk situations like indoor dining can end in nothing but further spread.

I highly doubt that when the risk of transmission is sufficiently reduced that the restrictions will continue. I have yet to meet anyone who likes wearing a mask.

The goal here is to see the limits the population and to what percentage they will accept lockdowns in the name of science. Canadian forces experimented with message control on it's own citizens that they swore to protect for Christ sake, open your eyes.

If there was nothing extra to gain by pushing the limits of citizens this pandemic would have been downgraded this last spring with a known 99% survivability rating of ages below 75 and the release of a vaccine and a dead economy.

Yes, but that was not Marx's intent, nor is it a reason not to strive for ideals. The economists who introduced neoliberal policy in the early twentieth century had noble hopes for its benefits for society as a whole, little did the reaize it would lead to control of the economy ending in the hands of a select few. Is the idealist responsible for those who abuse those ideals for their own benefit ? It's like the idea of trickle down economics which always seems to crop up when the idea of taxing the rich comes into the conversation, when will we learn that the "economics" tend to trickle into offshore accounts ? Marx had some good ideas for better directions for the economics to tickle in. We don't have to adopy his teachings completely, but he might have some stuff that would let us steer a course to a more equitable distribution of wealth without having to give up our capitalist economy. But as soon as you mention anything like that the politically uniformed holler "socialist" until the idea goes away, which suits those few at the top just fine.

Oh jeez, you need to loosen the head band on your tin foil hat, it's cutting off blood flow to your brain.

Was that a trailer scene taken from one of the new movies that was made in Hollyweird recently? I do not recognize all of those actors faces. Where was Tom Hanks? Actor and liar Fauci should have had some kind of a roll in the movie? Anyways, they must have all got paid really well for acting like real and true lying actors in that video that they are and spreading their bullshit covid lies that everyone in that movie are all people who were not vaccinated. what a bunch of horse manure. Ooooo, those videos you posted were so scary. But keep those lying scary Hollyweird videos coming. They are a good source of laughter for me. :ROFLMAO:

It was just yesterday that I read it's absolutely impossible to catch the disease from the vaccine! :)
Maybe , but it is certainly possible to catch it from vaccinated carriers . Are you one of those ?
