If the government thought it was totally safe and could prove it to everyone's satisfaction then they would not need to make threats to get people to take it.

It amazes me how other people think they can dictate to other people what they can do with there bodies. Also how willing they are to give up their rights at the first sign of trouble.
It is at time like this where you find out what people are really like. We are told to be kind and respect other people, but I guess that it only when it suits them.

do you think laws are optional?
you can do that thing, but you will go to jail, but its still your choice.
thats what we do every single day. doesn't matter if its covid or any other factor of life, wither you agree with it or not.

besides "rights" is something humans thought up, real life takes priority over anything humans thought up.

of course there is the whole thing that govt does think the vax is safe, which is why they all have approved it and they can prove its safe simply by the billions that have taken it with no issue.

Jeff, you still must obey the govt. mandates whether you agree with it or not. It's a bit like saying you think the road speed laws are wrong and because you think that you can drive at 100KPH anywhere you like. Stupid eh? That attitude can cause a crash and someone dies. Not a lot of difference there, you must agree? The law tries to ensure safety to all. As I said once before, do as you want, but if your pig headed stupidity affects me or my loved ones, brother, I will treat you as an outcast, deserving of nothing beneficial from our society!

So long as you are going to refund all the tax they have ever paid and exempt them from any in the future I could live with that.

In some ways I agree, but, they will not pass on a potentially fatal virus though.

My walking mate and I stop and talk to a young woman (mid 30ish) who is a bit anti vax. Nice person but she trawls the stupidest parts of the internet and tells us of her findings. I now get her to give me references and I look them up when I get home. All of them are conspiracy theories from known antivax pushers. She is a nice lady though so I don't give her grief bout it. There is no doubt the fact that no matter how whacko your theories are, you can always find support online.

Ken, as I am quite sure you know, the "So Called" Anti vax individuals can do exactly the same and the same argument works just as well in reverse. Just because you or I honestly believe something is no guarantee that it is correct. There are plenty of wackos on the extremes of both sides.

I must admit to being horrified to find that there are so many New Zealanders that are only too willing to throw their fellow citizens under the bus just because they disagree with them for some reason. There are also a lot that are so risk adverse it is surprising that they are able to get out of bed in the morning.

And just to repeat myself I am fully vaccinated for everything that has been recommended to me including Covid as are all my family.
