I dont think his response was an answer as to WHY people should be vaccinated. It was a response as to why people care if others have been or not.
I too agree that it's a fairly common sense sum here.

Also, it's putting a strain in our economy, costing them tax $$$. Faster it's back to normalish, the faster they can up their $$$.

The blending of the medical with the commercial is what makes it weird.
The promotion of it comes off as a commodity. (Which it technically is)
I also wonder what types of kickbacks these businesses are getting (if any) for offering incentives to those that HAVE been vaccinated.
As someone mentioned, if you are weary of IT, all of this promotion might make you even more cautious.
Again, I understand that is the easiest way to get the common person to fall in line.

And puts us under restrictions, lockdowns, & ultimately negatively ppl's medical & financial livelihood. Like they don't wanna wear mask, refrain form large social gatherings, respect ppl's person space, refused to vaxxed, but then wanna be the main complaining about this ****. I'm done w/ considering their opinion(s).

I was gonna detail all this, but felt "seriousness of the matter" should be a wide enough scope.
Entire economies shut down completely yet we dont understand why states are offering a lottery entry for getting vaccinated? Come now.

That is the ironic part. If they complied, this would go away. Their lack of compliance only makes this last longer.

Please don't take anything I said as me not UNDERSTANDING.
I can find something weird WHILE understanding why it's being done.

I guess that's where my brain breaks. I dont think ove ever understood the reasoning behind something yet still found it weird. My lack of understanding is what makes it weird to me.
But perhaps I'm wrong and have been in that brain space before.

I think the lack of access/familiarity of something can ALSO make it weird.
Humans being incentivized to take a vaccine isn't something EYE have witnessed in my lifetime. (Yes, I understand we haven't experienced a worldwide pandemic in my lifetime as well)
Therefore, it is weird to me.
Maybe another word could be used but I am not using WEIRD as, "It doesn't make sense."

And i get that but it's simply not realistic, last i checked it was a 50/50 split in America in regards to people getting vaxxed, Clearly there's a strong percentage of people who don't believe in the presumed safety of the vaccine..... so continuously telling people what you think they should do is rendered useless on both sides of the coin.

I'm not sure what you mean by it's not realistic.
The convo has multiple loosely related ideas being discussed right now so I get how it can be mixed up.
But, again, I believe the post you're quoting is just explaining why others care about why folks are or arent getting vaccinated. That's all. Not attempting to convince folks that they should be or that they shouldn't be. I too agree that attempting to tell people what to do is rather useless if you arent willing to sit down and have a constructive convo. And it takes two sides to do such a thing. If one side isnt interested for whatever reason, then it's dead in the water.

You are a teacher. If you & your students aren't vaccinated for specific stuff, you & they can't come to your school, so stop trolling. It isn't only incentivized, its a requirement for you.

It is a tough conversation to have.
I think it is EVEN tougher for the Pro Vax folks to have a convo with the ANti-Vax folks because they probably feel, "How can you not know any better." So it becomes a "talking down to" situation and not a "talking to" situation.
It all comes down to patience and most of us don't have that when presented with opposing views.

Which was the biggest reason for the rush to get folks back into school.
If kids are home all day, MANY parents are unable to work.
I think the economic strain is the biggest issue to those running the ship.
I don't think they could generally give two damns about how many people are physically safe.
We need bodies making and spending money.

It's being incitvized like the clinical trial it is. If you want to take it take but very few people think of the lives they could be saving as the reasoning. I posted my goings on because I work in a field that has extensive training on medical confidentiality and HIPPA so it was weird to see co workers casually asking "if you got your poke yet" like you should know you cant ask me that.

Man, I work in a field where we are constantly entering customer homes. A large customer who has a lot of properties asked that as of july 1st, whenever we send someone out we need to be sure the person has been vacinnated. Our team followed up with HR about the request and the HR manager didnt even point out the obvious fact that WE CANNOT LEGALLY ASK.
So now we get to sit here and come up with ideas to "work around" the ******* law. Craziness. Folks will do what they must to make a buck.

When it comes to things like this i always think of big institutions who screw over workers for a dollar, it's understood that a business is there to make money, that is always the #1 goal. It's still weird that they would screw over thousands of people to uphold that but if you strip emotions away from it it's understandable.
I understand why someone with the thinking of a white supremacist would want to uphold a society where they are offered the best opportunities, viewed in the best light, receive much lighter penalties etc etc.... I don't think i have to get into how weird they actually are.

95 people died in my state in May from Covid. All unvaccinated.
Imagine dying from Covid in 2022 or 2025
Good riddance. Modern natural selection at play.

She says she has spent 7 to 10k hours researching vaccines since COVID-19 started. Does she even maths?

you can ask customers if they are vaccinated, whether or not they answer is up to them
you can’t ask their doctor or medical care team to disclose their vaccination record or other health info

I gotta say, telling someone "it's none of your effing buisness" makes the point so much more eloquentlyah yes…HIPPA
