If they have the right, the responsibility is irrelevant because they can do as they please. Get this sociopath off the TV

[jimmaag]

What in the actual fawk? Someone from the NYT whining about misinformation, look in the mirror bud.

[mukey]

Note: Vietnam is a one party lead socialist/communist country 😆 Funny how he forgot to mention this. One party controlled systems tend to have full control over what information that domestic and international audiences get.

Your responsibility is to not have a personal choice. Got it, boss.

[raymak]

He is a self righteous elitist and thinks he knows what is best for everyone else.

Tired of the pandemic and hunters. He sites communist regime. His paper promoted Fidel Castro in the 60's

“Did any of them die or end up in the hospital?”
Symptoms are mild for over 98% of those infected, regardless of how many shots you’ve had. If you remove 60+ year olds, far more than 98% of cases are mild. If you remove obesity, far more than that. The correlation of shots to mortality does not equal causation, which is exactly why the choice needs to be between an individual and their healthcare provider, not mandated by multinational corporations and government bureaucrats.

Hearing this topic from NY Times? hahahaha... they started it.

[garymcmillan]

'They absolutely have their choice, that is their right! BUT they shouldn't have a choice!' Anybody that thought you could get 8 billion people to do ANY one thing has no grasp on reality.

[DragoBTC]

Freedom has become Anti Responsible and synonymous with selfishness.

[lion]

bringing "human rights" into a medical discussion....

COVID rules are under provincial jurisdictions, yet they are in the federal capital of Canada.

One thing I don't a person is not getting vaccinated "on principle, " why can't they just quit their job "on principle" and do something else or move somewhere else that does not require them to be vaccinated? I have made such choices before "on principle, " perhaps stupidly, but I paid the necessary price without dragging everyone around me down.

You are expecting intelligent discussions with anti-vaxxers? 🤣
