Anyone who is older than they care to admit remembers the time when smoking not only was expected, but welcome outside the small designated areas designed to corral and shame those within. Smokers and non-smokers mingled easily in offices, hospitals and bars — wherever people tended to gather in clumps large and small. That all changed when science determined the hazardous chemicals within smoke withered the lungs of all who inhaled it. (Snip) According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 62% said unvaccinated people should not be allowed to travel on airplanes. Furthermore, more than 50% said that unvaccinated people should

If the vaccine works, why are they afraid to be around people who are not vaccinated? And they have on their 2 masks, which they also say works, so what is the problem?

Does Reuters advertise for stupid people to participate in their polls? Or give then some kind of reward? How else can they come up with this kind of result?

I see my preferred passport already. If my local grocery store refuses to sell me food without my ID I'll tell them to go to hell and spend my money at the other stores who will be happy to take it. I will soon enough have a network of businesses in my area who either do not ask for ID or go Nudge nudge wink wink.

This author, Scott Craven, is a moron. And his last name, by the way, means, "contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly."
Check this out:
FTA: "Or worse, given how masks divided the nation between those acting responsibly and those fighting for freedom."
He seems to identify two camps. "Those acting responsibly" and "those fighting for freedom."
Help me out here. If I "fight for freedom," then I am "not acting responsibly?"
I can't believe the articles out there claiming to be "journalism." Perhaps this article is springing from "cravenness."

Fakes should be easy to obtain and since medical files are private there is no way to prove one way or other.

Far as I am concerned, the vaccination is the Mark of the Beast. Plus if what I am reading is true, this vaccine is making people more susceptible to any new covid strains coming. No way am I going to get that stuff injected. Not a chance.

A bit off topic but food for thought. 400k plus die each year from the effects of smoking. If the CDC really wanted to help end pain and suffering from illnesses due to addictive behavior, they would push to outlaw smoking. The last surgery I had a few years back, I shared a floor with patient suffering from lung disease. It was from lung cancer or emphysema. That was the most gut wrenching sound I’ve experienced in my 69 years of living. I’m sure my Libertarian friends are blowing a gasket right now. It would be a law this white, born again, senior, conservative male could live with.

"According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 62% said unvaccinated people should not be allowed to travel on airplanes. Furthermore, more than 50% said that unvaccinated people should not exercise in public gyms, sit in movie theaters or attend concerts.
And 72% said it was important to know if people nearby (and certainly within 6 feet) were vaccinated."
God, I hope these polls are BS, but fear they are not. People are ready to sacrifice their own freedoms, and especially the freedoms of others, and our government will be only too happy to oblige.
This does not speak well for humanity. We would turn on each other in a second.

#9 you are no better than the libtards that constantly want to pass laws that restricts the rights of others that you disagree with. Passing a law to outlaw smoking because you disagree with smoking for whatever reason is not a law that a free country should be doing. Let's inspect your life and see what we object to and then pass a law against it.

Will the unvaccinated need to wear a scarlet letter or yellow star on their chest or will they be tattooed?

I thought people get vaccinated so that they cannot catch a virus from those who were unvaccinated? Now people are taking a vaccine and they are afraid of those who don't take it? I have read where if you take the "vaccine" you can still catch and spread the virus so I assume this is what the vaccinated are afraid of? If you can still catch and spread the virus you are not really vaccinated right? If you can still catch and spread the virus then why the heck would you get the vaccine? My biggest question though is if you can still catch and spread the virus after being vaccinated why is the vaccine being pushed on us so hard? Why are being coerced into taking this thing that neither protects the vaccinated nor those around them?

I intend to wear a "Not Vaccinated" button on my clothing and let them attempt to stop me at the door.

Fine. I’ll self segregate. I’m a misanthrope anyway. Though I do love my family and friends.
Never getting the “vaccine”.

What #14 said. I just don't get it. You get the "vaccine" but you can still get the disease and pass it on to others, even those who have been "vaccinated". So what is all the fuss about being around people who have not taken the "vaccine"?
