    • You can be against vaccine mandates and not be against COVID vaccines. I am. I think it should be a personal choice, even though I think everyone should choose to get the vaccine if they are able to. Nobody should be forced into it.

      I also think that trying to mandate the vaccine could push many people who were on the fence to decide NOT to get one rather than get one. Especially in the USA where we are pretty sensitive to government trying to control people. We don't like it at all.

          Exactly. It's why the MSM doesn't at all cover the anti-mandate healthcare worker protests, because that's not the narrative they want. The narrative they want is anti-vax-mandate = anti-vax.

          • Kamala Harris is committed to "protecting the vaccinated."

            I suspect she's catering to the covid cult and their logic.

              She was one of the first people to say she wouldn't take any vaccine that Trump said to take. Remember that?

                  That's really a Constitutional issue. Executive orders only apply to the executive branch, so the legislative branch is exempt by default.

                    figures. How do they expect anyone to take Biden seriously if congress won't even do it?

                    • Meanwhile, 96% of US physicians have been vaccinated, according to a recent American Medical Association poll.

                      CHICAGO — The American Medical Association (AMA) today released a new survey (PDF) among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions. Of the physicians who are not yet vaccinated, an additional 45 percent do plan to get vaccinated.

                        That poll was mentioned in another thread. If you look at the numbers, what the headline should say is, "289 of the 301 doctors selected for our survey say they are vaccinated". There are around 1,000,000 physicians in the United States, so this AMA survey only accounted for roughly 0.03% of them.

                          That's a big enough sample size to get a margin of error of less than 3%.

                          The real problem is that doctors who are unvaccinated might be less likely to respond to the poll, or might be tempted to say they were vaccinated.

                            There is no way 301 doctors can speak for 1 million, and the AMA knew it. Notice how careful they were with their wording: "...a new survey among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated..." So not 96% of all physicians, just 96% of the 301 selected for the survey.

                              According to statistics it can with 95% certainty.

                                If the doctors are picked randomly from the 1 million, they can. But that's easier said than done.
