It is untested technology. 100% fact. You can try and twist it how you want but the FACT is it is new to use in the medical field for ACTUAL use. Yes, it is new technology that has been untested and unproven.
That's the dumbest comment ever. I am not arguing AGAINST the vaccine. Something you can't seem to understand. I am saying we do not yet know enough about the long-term effects of this new technology that has never been used in a vaccine before now.
I can't agree because I do not know what he is doing (I do not watch Biden and don't watch the news).
IMHO the only vaccine that should be mandated (for those under the authority of the federal government in an employment context) is the Pfizer vaccine as it is FDA approved.
The FDA is the determining factor.
Individuals will have different opinions about the length of time for a vaccine to be out before they trust it.
Some may say 6 months.
Others 1 year.
Others 5 years.
But the governing authority regarding the safety of vaccines is the FDA.
And the FDA does not take its matching orders from the WH (as evidenced by their disapproving booster shots for the general public based on Israel's study that the two shots given early this year ate still effective).
The FDA nixed Biden's booster plan.
I am retired Army.
The Army mandates vaccines (17, if I recall correctly....and now 18 with the Pfizer vacvine).
And they mandate more depending on where you are going.
Granted...this is not forcing a vaccine (we have an all voluntary military).
They always have.
The issue is it is about tge ability to accomplish the mission.
If somebody is red-green color blind they cannot join the infantry.
This is discrimination based on a medical condition.
But the way the Army sees it, those people cannot distinguish between red and green smoke.
The same applies to FDA approved vaccinations that help with viruses which could affect military readiness.
Not true. From the American Academy of Family Physicians:
the original research on messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines is decades old
You say that mRNA technology is untested, but I suggest you are speculating and have no evidence to support such an assertion; what we all agree on is that mRNA has not been tested in a vaccine, but what evidence do you offer that the technology has not been tested in other ways in the course of the research.
You are trying to blur that distinction, and this misleads readers.
It is not new technology in any reasonable sense of the term. Period.
Is it a coincidence that while I provide quotes from qualified experts attesting to the fact that the , your posts are your own words? Why is that? Can you not provide a citation from a qualified expert to the effect that mRNA technology is new, untested technology?
Ok I'm tired of your self-righteous attitude.
You can't grasp basic concepts. I have been 100% correct you just are being ridiculous. Welcome to my block list. Go away.
No.
It is discrimination by definition.
Same with the old policy of allowing women (regardless of ability) into the infantry.
It has to do with military readiness.
If there is a virus that has the ability to cripple a platoon and there is also a FDA approved vaccine then it is responsible to mandate the vaccine.
It is never responsible to force someone to put a foreign substance in their body. Now, one can argue they consent by joining the military, but no vaccine, no medicine of any kind, should ever be mandated by government or employer. It is a personal health choice.
I disagree.
The military should look after it's members and the mission even above individual rights.
Same with getting a job.
You do not lose your rights but you have to decide if you are going to meet the requirements of employment or not.
People need to stop demanding employers meet the desires of employees.
If you want to work for me then you will meet my conditions (I will not meet your demands for me to employee you....I'll just hire someone else).
The whole thing about employees deciding how a company is ran over the interests of the employer is socialistic.
And no employer should ever have the right to make a health decision for its employee. Ever. Or even make a healthcare procedure a requirement. That should never even have been entertained.
I agree.
An employer should have the right to make decisions about conditions of employment but not be able to force another human being into compliance.
I don't even think whether or not someone has had a vaccine should be a considerable position on whether they hire someone. It is none of the employer's business.
