My job may mandate I do, but I imagine I would be on the 2nd or 3rd line behind nursing home patients, healthcare workers, first responders and teachers. I'm certainly not going to go out of my way for it, just going to continue to do the basics to protect myself without becoming a full on coof cultist.
I might, depending on the actual efficacy of the vaccine. Last thing I need at this point in my life is for either of my parents to get infected, considering my mother in particular is old enough for this virus to be a legitimate threat should she contract it.
Everyone around here - from the average person to people who work in hospitals and libraries - always say "I don't know" in reply to "when will things go back to normal". I think it's quite possible this tyrannical insanity over what should be a regular disease may very well be here to stay. Unless - and like you said - enough people start resisting, that is. Which may not happen.
In Super Clown World 2020, "conspiracy theory" seems to be "wokespeak" for "anything that goes against The Narrative®".
Big businesses are thriving and small businesses are dying. A lot of money and wealth could be changing hands. In which case, I am sure the politicians will get their cut one way or another.
It's conditioning people to Trust The Science® and Listen And Believe®. Governments now have control over people they could only dream of in 2019. 2020 is good to tech giants who work with governments and enjoy this new isolation and "virtual events".
I've said it before in another thread, but it's been like watching people join a cult en masse over the span of a few years. If you've ever had a friend suddenly find religion or join a MLM scheme, you know how it goes: All you want to do is just hang out with them like you always have in the past, but now it's awkward and uncomfortable because even though you haven't changed, you're now an "outsider" to them.
I'm guessing that it will eventually be seen as the mass hysteria event that it is, and will be regarded in a similar manner to satanic panic or Y2K. Of course, the people who are contributing the most to the insanity right now will never acknowledge their part in it, or even that they were wrong -- they'll just kind of laugh and go "wow, yeah, that coronavirus thing sure was crazy! 'Member how everyone rushed out to buy toilet paper?"
Did you see the Disney investor thing today as well? They're making a "strong pivot" to streaming.
But it's not even science they're trusting. It's the media and the "I fucking love science" PopSci productions.
The worst part is, I don't even think they know the difference.
Exactly - the cult of "scientism", a useful tool to corporations and governments who control that sort of thing.
No, this ish sounds way too familiar.
Yea, I wore the muzzle to go shopping. But, I am not injecting something into me so that I can consoom. I'd rather be taken away to the re-education camps or whatever else they have in store for those who do not comply. Hopefully, I am gay and wrong. But, this shit is too weird.
It's a cyberpunk dystopia IRL. But like @Dom Cruise said, a tedious miserable one with none of the "glamor" or adventure.
Absolutely not ... For now. I plan to wait a few years before even considering it. Physical side effects to vaccines can and absolutely HAVE happened before.
Lecturing you for what? Was the salon not following the same WuFlu guidelines most salons are (masks for all, temperature checks, have you been exposed questionnaire)?

Everyone screaming "listen to the science!" reminds me of the South Park atheists.
No because I fall into a category that was specifically excluded from most of the trials, and I'm 90% sure I had covid earlier this year anyway and it was fine. I'll consider it if/when the day comes that it's required to do things like leave the country.
