I’ll stop worrying about you when my youngest is old enough to get vaccinated. Until then you are a threat to him and all of us have to share a cockpit with you. Go on medical leave and never leave your compound and I’ll stop bothering you.
I’m not sure what the current mutation of polio is, but it does in fact mutate. But rest assured that the mutated version isn’t “different enough” to cause concern, as the polio vaccine covers it. You are correct in that a person can still test “positive” for an illicit drug after you are no longer under the influence of its mind-altering characteristics (ie a urine test for marijuana is not actually testing for THC, but rather the metabolites from breaking it down). Although I’m not really sure how that applies here.
You say that, as an unvaccinated person, I’m a threat to your youngest. Realize that the number of children under the age of 12 that have succumbed to COVID-19 is essentially zero. However, the number of children under the age of 12 that have succumbed to Influenza every year is significant. Yet I’m perplexed that prior to all this nonsense, no one ever made me get a flu vaccine because I was a threat to their children.
And how exactly am I a threat to you if you have the vaccine???? I thought you were “protected”??? I’ve been vaccinated against Polio, so I don’t worry about coming into contact with that.
Legalities aside, I’m distressed about the ethics of mandating any vaccine that has not received full FDA approval.
