Who is a vaccine mandate intended to protect?

[Wolverine]

I agree so you think it's the job of the govt to force me to take a stab to protect me from myself? That's not in the interest of public safety.

Shouldn't go near LV666 mental issues! Anger, with mental issues bad combo!

[LV426]

No clue again, if you have been vaccinated, and have underlying conditions like obesity (you), or diabetes, or heart disease, or many other diseases it can still take your life

So then stop drinking piss, get fuckin' vaccinated, and wear a goddamn mask.

[LV426]

stick to what you know, doing dishes and making samiches!

You're so fucking stupid that when Trump told you to drink bleach, you asked "how much?"

[Flash]

Again i can spread it to you and you to me whether I am stabbed or not. If you're getting it from other stabbed people how does the mandate protect me or you?

You can still get it but unvaccinated people are ten times more likely to test positive. If ten times more people are positive that makes a lot more people who they could infect. It is not just protecting you but all the people you could infect.

How many times does it need to be said, Flash:

CONSERVATIVES DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND WANT YOU TO DIE.

Why do you think they are trying so hard to spread the disease around? Because they think it'll kill all the people they want dead.

That's why they didn't mitigate it at the beginning; most of those who died at the beginning were disproportionately POC.

If COVID had hit Bumfuck, TN first instead of NYC, wiping out 3,000 people, Conservatives would have done everything in their power to stop the spread.

What are you talking about? How many more times I could test positive is irrelevant. I could infect you whether I am vaccinated or not. And since I have conceded the vaccine is "effective" then what would you need protection from?

[Yakuda]

For that to be a credible position, the vaccine in question has to work.

I agree 100% but for the sake of discussion if the stab is as effective as they claim then that begs the question who is being protected by the vaccine mandate?

Vaccines are not 100% effective. They never were.

[Yakuda]

All of us. BTW, give me examples of those mandates.

All of us? If your stabbed and can get the virus anyway what protection do you receive by forcing me to get the stab? I could give you covid if I'm stabbed or not and the efficacy of your stab isn't improved or diminished if I'm stabbed or not, so again who is being protected? Is proper for the govt to demand I take a shot for the only apparent purpose of reducing my risk of hospitalization or death? As far as I can see that's the only benefit from getting the stab

[Truth Detector]

I'll concede for this discussion that the govt can mandate a vaccine in the interest of public safety. I'll also concede for this discussion that the vaccine is "effective" at greatly reducing the risk of hospitalization and death from covid and that it doesn't prevent people from getting covid. So if he vaccine won't stop the spread of the disease then who is protected by the mandate? The vaccine protects the individual who get it not anyone around them. So mandating the vaccine can only be to protect the individual who gets it. That doesn't seem like a public safety issue since the vaccine does t present the spread of the disease so again who is protected by a vaccine mandate?

The answer is OBVIOUS. It doesn't protect anyone from the Virus. It didn't lead to re-opening the economy or leading to everyone getting back to normal. The power-hungry political class are using this virus to promote their causes and empower them.

Being vaccinated reduces the chance of being hospitalized with severe symptoms. But there is always a chance of breakthroughs and being infected with variants.
