No, I wouldn't voluntarily decline. I never stated vaccines are fake, nor covid is a hoax, nor healthy people can't get covid. If you think I did, show me where. My issue is the whole "don't use up hospital resources because you made a bad choice" argument. Hospitals use their resources for mostly bad choices everyday. I worked for one for 35 years. I expect treatment when I show up; vaxed or not. And if they're full, put me at the back of the line. Presently no plans to be vaxed unless required for flights.

Actually you should read your quote first to see who needs to retake their test. I don't deny either. My "dumb" choice should be treated the same as all other dumb choices. The healthcare system is there to treat ALL people; even those who make bad choices. You wouldn't treat a skateboarder who broke his wrist, or a heart attack victim who ate too many steaks? There are a million choices that you make that can put you into a hospital bed. Or did you want to control all of those choices also?

A tired argument. Should skate boarders stop skating? Should skiers stop skiing? Should red meat eaters stop eating red meat? Many things can put you into the hospital. Life is about choices AND about individual freedom to make them. At least, it used to be. Vaxed can transmit virus. Unvaxed can transmit virus. Nothing in life is 100%; live accordingly.

Why go to the cinema? Because if you don't have an Atmos sound system at home, it's the only place you'll be able to hear and understand the dialog track. Playing 99% of downloaded content requires ear-splitting fx/music track volume levels to even begin to hear the dialog mix. Too loud for my neighbors I'm sure, and me; I'm in a condo. So, I use subtitles always. Maybe I'm just old.

What am I missing? If he meant it to be patronizing, I didn't take it that way.

Exactly. Without statistics on vaccine deaths, whether known or probable, how can say, a 35 y.o. woman, make an informed decision. Could be chance of death in her age group unvaccinated is .00005%, but death from vaccination .00005.5%. Who knows? But regardless if she dies, she should vaccinate to protect the tribe. This, even though the vaccines may limit, but do not prevent the spread of covid.

Tried that also, no luck. Was thinking maybe they forced an in person visit after an extension where I stopped using an agent. More than likely though, probably just a bug in their online system.
