No one was forced to take the vaccine unless they wanted to continue their college education, or play in professional sports, or keep their job or see their elderly relatives in care facilities or see their new grandbabies in the hospital or go to church or the gym.
That isn’t “forced”. It’s just not the proper word. “Forced” is “coerced with threat of extreme, fatal, or irresistible violence”.
These cases are “coerced” or “leveraged” or “threatened”, “compelled”, “bullied” “pressured”, etc.
It’s necessary to be specific on this because the use of violence or physical pressure to administer it is a very clear escalation that must be treated differently.
If you check my post history, I’m quite in favor of calling out evil and taking action against it, and I’ve also spoken quite a bit about it needing to be measured appropriately, not taken rashly, and being lawful.
I [deleted, because it was excessive, but still have the text] a fairly passionate post toward what sounded like someone advocating inaction a few days ago.
The use of the word “forced” here is still inaccurate, and I’m not pointing it out to “run cover” or “call for inaction” or stupid nonsense like that, I’m pointing it out 1. so that reactions can be appropriately measured when the time comes 2. If worse comes before judgment is rendered, you have it in your mind to stand fast rather than kneeling.
As Owen Benjamin likes to say, “I may be wrong, but I’m not lying”, and in this case I’m not wrong, either.

Let’s do be clear on this.

"I'm not forcing you; I'm just going to methodically destroy every facet of your life until you comply."
Sure thing, shill. 🙄
If your boss told you to commit a crime or you'd be fired...what would you do?
It really depends. So many things that should NOT be illegal, are; and so many things that SHOULD be illegal, are not.

Yeah I do see your perspective, actually. I apologize for calling you a shill; I shouldn't have done that. I try to be better than that.
I do see your perspective, just disagree - to some extent....
Sounds like we agree more than not.
Take care, Fren. :-)
