Here’s the thing Desantis protected the vulnerable, your hero Cuomo marched them to their death like the other NE governors. That’s why the Democrat Party took Cuomo out, and Biden got the DOJ to kill the investigations to effectively end the story. We know the Republicans are too spineless to push the issue.

The Governor prohibited cruise lines that use Florida ports from requiring vaccines of all passengers. Norwegian Cruises sued to overturn that prohibition and won preliminary relief today. DeSantis will appeal.

This issue has been previously debated in the Lounge. IMO, DeSantis way overstepped his limited authority over interstate commerce. Further, he is restricting the free market….businesses can demand a vaccination or not. The passengers can get a vaccination or not. None of the governor’s business. Let the free market roll!

Jump in!
Kind of like what Joe Biden just did with his moratorium on Landlords and how he stuck up his middle finger at the Supreme Court.........

The Gov does have a right to control interstate commerce but I don’t think that’s how a court will see this. The cruise lines are a private entity and he does not have power over that. That being said those ports are controlled by the state and he can control that. He also does a t have to provide them with tax relief which the state does.

Also, did you see that all members of the US Armed Forces will have to be vaccinated by September? Is that discriminatory or is that part of an employer’s right to mandate health-related policies in the workplace?

I’m going with the latter.

When you sign up to join the military you sign away your rights.

As an active duty military member, you agreed to those restrictions on your civil rights and liberties.

Private citizens have not.
 
Does the fact that the FDA is about to formally approve the vaccine change your mind ?

Nope. All that means is that the FDA is about to cash the check.

My company has an A+ rating on the BBB. This time last year we had an F rating.

Do you want to know what changed?

I subscribed and paid a fee to the BBB to gain accreditation. That's it. Havent had to show a record of our business practices and policies... success or failures of our contracts, client and/or employee satisfaction surveys...

NOTHING.

I paid them. And they gave me an A+ rating.

FDA is doing the same thing. FDA approval is as useless as BBB accreditation and gives me no further confidence.

I think we can safely say young Ron DeSantis' on the job training isn't working out too well for Floridians. There's something seriously wrong when one state has more than a quarter of all COVID cases in the country.

Could we also safely assume that Biden's shipments of Covid positive illegal immigrants has possibly had some effect on that as well?

VERY convenient that the states with the highest spikes in Covid are also the states that Biden and Co. deliver regular shipments of fresh illegals that are ripe with Covid to.

Any thought to that? Or is that just another talking point that gets swept under the rug?

cortez loves to complain about restricting the free market but has no issue with the Hawaii governor restricting the free market and limiting the capacity of bars, restaurants, gyms, and social establishments to 50% indoor capacity.

The high spikes are simply due to lax COVID laws and no mask mandates by Governors like Abbot and DeSantis, who are privileging politics over public health.

grb,

Ive seen a lot of objections to the vaccine based on the lack of knowledge of its long term effects. I’ve always been puzzled why that analysis is rarely applied to the unknown long term effects of getting Covid. Long Covid is real, but hardly known at all due to the lack of time.

Last week, two friends of mine told me of their recovery from Covid. Both are now healthy. But both still have lingering alterations of their senses of smell and taste. Theyve lost some of those senses while other senses have been accentuated, eg bad smells are really, really much worse for them now.

On a casual basis, I would argue that the long term effects of getting Covid are much scarier than the long term effects of getting a vaccine.

You absolutely cannot make that claim. At all. Not now.

We won't know what kind of long term side effects either will have until at least 2031. Then again in 2041 and 2051.

You SHOULD "casually" be saying while drinking a casual glass of wine in your causal shorts and boat shoes while casually lounging on your casual patio chair that you really have NO IDEA about either.

You CHOOSE to go with the potential side effect of the vaccine. Which havent even begun to be truly known yet... while the side effects that ACTUALLY are happening (heart issues like myocarditis) are being downplayed at every turn.

I CHOOSE to deal with whatever side effects that might come from my body naturally fighting off Covid on its own. The human immune system has evolved for centuries to be tough as goddamn nails.

Mine is up for the f#cking challenge, I assure you.

What I'm not willing to do is expose my immune system to some sort of foreign vaccine that could (and probably will) cause more harm than good. The vaccine does not prevent infection. It does not prevent spread. It does not cure.

So what's the goddamn point?!?!?

Masks and vaccines are ineffective. The data proves that.

So what is the point then? Why mandate things that have been proven to NOT WORK?

let me put it to you in terms that relate to this Canes message board... a phrase I've heard for many years:

SAME+SAME=SAME

Every man woman and child on Earth could get vaccinated and wear masks from here to eternity and GUESS WHAT?!?!?

Covid will STILL BE HERE.

Answer me this one questions... if MASKS do not prevent infection or the spread and VACCINES do not prevent infection or spread...

Why do either?

Perhaps in the alternate universe where you dwell, but in the real world they have been incredibly effective in reducing hospitalization, preventing people from getting sick, and preventing death. That's about all you can ask for from a vaccine.

Beyond everything that you posted above that's blatantly wrong, you seem to be engaging in bizarre straw man thought experiments instead of actually looking at the data as published by scientific organizations. I would post some of it here, but given that you don't believe in science, it may be a waste of both of our time.

Where?? What studies are you referencing? What reports? What data? What "real world"??

CNN IS NOT A ****ING WORLD BRUH. Turn the TV off and look around for your goddamn self!

We've had vaccines for 9 months now. If the vaccines were truly effective, WE WOULD NOT BE SEEING A SPIKE IN COVID CASES AGAIN.

And dont give me the bullshit talking point that the majority of cases are unvaccinated people because there are multiple test cases and studies that disprove that BS theory too.

So again... I BEG YOU to give me some sort of actual data to prove my point wrong. NOT EMOTION... not an article published that says "might" or "may" or "possibly". Those terms DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. Those are opinion terms and are worthless in this discussion.

Facts prove that masks and vaccines are ineffective. Otherwise, we wouldnt be having this conversation.

*Edit* Back to the topic of the thread... God Bless Ron DeSantis. Best Governor in the whole Country!

There are plenty of reputable organizations who publish or reference scientific data. Try the CDC, WHO, and other widely used sites used by doctors and public health officials.

"Reputable", "CDC" and "WHO" do not belong in the same sentence.

That's like saying "...the mob is reputable..." or " Cuomo is reputable..." or "Joe Biden is highly cognizant..."

You get the point, no?

You have no substance to provide me with because no such substance exists.

I say: Masks and vaccines are ineffective. Stats, data and the country's current Covid situation prove it.

You say: Nu-uh!

You have nothing to provide me with because I am right and you are wrong.

There you go rejecting science and scientists again. If you're not willing to listen to public health officials and instead prefer listening to a political bottom feeder like DeSantis, then no amount of factual information is going to change your mind because you are brainwashed into believing what suits your preferred reality instead of accepting the facts as they are presented.

I absolutely reject the science that tells me masks and vaccines are effective when my own goddamn eyes tell me otherwise!!!

YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME THAT WHAT I AM SEEING WITH MY OWN EYES IS NOT REAL.

You are correct. No doctor or scientist will convince me of that when my eyes tell my brain (which actually works) that if masks and vaccines were effective, we wouldnt be seeing a huge spike in Covid cases across the country.

How you can argue that fact while the proof is staring you in the face EVERY SINGLE DAY is a special kind of sociopathic behavior.

You have no argument because the facts and data prove you wrong. My eyes are apparently way more scientific and knowledgeable than the CDC, WHO and the leading doctors and scientists.

816,

‘Thanks for the press. Here’s the difference:

Governments (including governors) enforce public safety regulations all the time that restrict individual options/decisions. Ex. Mandatory seatbelts, speed limits, stop signs, motorcycle helmets etc etc. The Hawaiian Governor and many more have extended that power due to the Covid crisis. Similarly, individual businesses can and have imposed their own restrictions beyond those required by our new regulations. Ex. My fitness facility and barber require masks even though local regs don’t require masks. Its their business if they want to be stricter than the regs require.

DiSantis is restricting choice by vetoing decisions by businesses that go beyond state minimums. Ex. no vaccine only cruises. That veto negates the rights of businesses to have stricter policies and prevents travelers from making the choice to select a 100% vaccinated cruise. DeSantis is defeating the market freedom to go beyond government minimum measures. No bueno.

RK,

You are a fun poster to read because you are a passionate, ideology-based anti vaxxer, at least as far as the Covid vaccine is concerned. I’ve never met a person with your beliefs.

In that regard, I recently read an article that portrays anti vaxxers as generally: white, rural, Evangelical and pro-Trump. In contrast, Vax Hesitant people are generally: young, Brown, Black and not very compelled by medical issues.

Do you agree with these categories of the non-vaccinated or are they too overbroad or stereotyped?

Thanks.

Yes, The timing of Biden sending human Covid bombs to Florida absolutely correlates with the increase in Covid infections. For public safety from the Covid plague, time to schedule one way flights back to the countries of origin for the Biden Blue Plague..

Lol there’s always a difference when you’re a hypocrite. Are you really that dumb that you would say in your post,

“Further, he is restricting the free market….businesses can demand a vaccination or not. The passengers can get a vaccination or not. None of the governor’s business. Let the free market roll!”

and then try to say that it is in fact the governors business to impose restrictions. You literally said “businesses can demand vaccination or not” none of the governors business. If it’s none of the governors business to require or not require vaccination it’s also none of their business to require or not require masks or capacity limits or negative tests.

You’re a real bright one if you think that government can not only impose minimum requirements but also maximum.

Sorry, your logic escaped me. I argued that businesses and individuals should be able to self impose stricter safety measures for themselves than the minimum safety measures established by the government. Governments should not prohibit these extra safety precautions.

Do you agree or disagree with that?
