I refuse to comply with this over reach and I’m fully vaccinated

> I’m fully vaccinated Temporarily . I am assuming you had your second shot more than two weeks ago. Soon, the definition of "fully vaccinated" will change to require the third shot and you will be counted among the unvaccinated as it is currently done for people with a single shot or less than two weeks past their second shot when it comes to death/hospitalization stats. We are close to living in Arcadia[1]. [1]: ht…

Yeah, there are so many layers to this. I mean, a mandate for employers oversteps what government is allowed to do anyway. But that aside, if it was polio or something and there was one shot that basically ended it, you could see a rational path to a single mandate that got everyone vaccinated (btw I'd be curious to know polio, measles, etc vaccine rates, I think they are very high). But when "vaccinated" is essentially some political flavor of the week, how is it going to get enforced? Will a third shot get rolled in? And if there are more, or if we switch from mrna to another variety, do they get rolled in too? Will you need to have the original 2021 shots, even once they've been subsumed into something else, or can you just get the latest thing.

For all the pretend deference to science, we're in the middle of a rapidly unfolding situation. It seems preposterous, even with clear evidence that the vaccines do work (and ignoring government overreach which is itself absurd and illegal imo) to start mandating something that is not likely to hold 6 months from now, and what, just require that everyone tracks whatever current orthodoxy says? I have my two pfizer shots, and if there is a vaccine later that actually cures covid, maybe I'll go back and get it. But I'm giving up on trying to track the flavor of the week and trying to match whatever the new York times wants me to do, I'll wait until there is actually a reasonable consensus

So uh... I wouldn't normally do this, but this post isn't showing up anymore and so discussion has stopped. Why?

Story rank dropped from #40 to #250, rather than decaying organically. Perhaps it was flagged by multiple people? http://hnrankings.info/28474997/

Emailing hn@ycombinator.com might help. This topic affects 10's of millions of Americans.

I sent a message. I'm really interested in the HN discussion of this.. it's disappointing to see it just drop off the site.

Could you please stop creating accounts to post like this to HN?

I'm sure you have good reason to feel strongly, but when you post like this, you're just discrediting your own position. That doesn't help you, and it hurts the people who agree with you.
