It's asinine, because the vaccine saves millions of lives and it's such a tiny shot. Protesting the vaccine is almost as dumb as people taking ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine instead. Such Idiots!
It's not so tiny a shot for some of us. (after 2 shots + recent booster shot). It can be, esp. the first shot, a life & death experience.
Detail: Covid vaccines are nothing but generating a new breed of antibodies. known that when person receives the first shot, the bank of existing antibodies, (including those for small pox, polio, etc.; pre-existing in normal people) is activated to squelch this 'unknown'. For a person like me, (no, I'm not a trucker; but a site construction guy exposed to unhygienic food, water); the range of antibodies is larger and 12 hours after the first shot I went through a 30 min. period of fever & near seizure. The day I took the booster shot, I actually said my goodbyes to a relative, before night.
It's a tough situation for people exposed to tough outdoor conditions and I think their PM is not handling it right.
I had it. About 3 weeks before the pandemic ever started. I decided to not do the shots. I was feeling sick for about a day and a half, then I went to work. After a day outside, I felt pretty good.
I got curious, I started searching for reasons why I didn't get as sick as others. It was that I wasn't obese, I didn't have contributing issues that would cause me to die. Since that time, when I got exposed to others that had come down with it, I never got it. I'm immune.
I decided to NOT expose myself to the virus again. My body is my body. Then the Johns-Hopkins study said that .2% of the people who got shots, wore masks, still got it. Besides, any booster is only good for 90 days anyway.
But we are not immune to government overreach. Their are waay too many government officials that get drunk with power and love to tell people what to do. Truckers are, for the most part, are Independent Contractors. They call their shots. If one company fires them for whatever,they drive down the street to the next terminal, pull in, walk in,"I'm a truck driver, here's my log book, I'm ready to drive." and the next company hires them.
Now, The Truckers are trying to deliver us freedom. Freedom from oppressive socialist dems, who want to tell us how to live. (I'm getting huge laugh that Tow truck drivers won't touch them!) And now, the government is trying to take away the money donated to them from GiveSendGo. Trudeau is in hot water, biden is trying to jump in to the same pot with him.
Let him.That way, he can get hung out to dry with the rest of dem party.
