Jay, your choices have consequences too. I don't think it's going to work out so well for you buddy, the science is not looking good. But you can just stay in denial about that, I mean everyone dies eventually.

If these injections would have a safety profile like that for tetanus, everyone would have gotten the shot already. But even the short tests by Pfizer showed that the shots aren't safe, don't protect those injected, don't prevent viral spreading (like evidenced on cruise ships). Recent studies show that globally, more people now have died than would have died without any anti-covid measures. This leaves no other conclusion that the only protection regards the profits of vaccine producers and shareholders (among which, politicians).

So Jays answered is... The protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected. So we see who really is uneducated Jay

Unfortunately there are too many “uneducated” (like Jay) who not only couldn’t understand your comment but believe the government is here to help. We are living in a world where lunatics like Jay walk freely amongst us.

And you can choose to move out of Panama if you don’t get vaccinated for the safety of others. I find you selfish and uneducated.
