Also keep in mind that in the backdrop of all this is the fact that our Prime Minister has called the protesters racists and misogynists. Probably inspiring someone who ran over some protesters in Winnipeg. Canadian news and politicians are desperately trying to denounce the protesters while ignoring the fact that Canada has some of the harshest Covid restrictions in the world at the moment, while the US has hardly a…

Awesome we agree!
So just be prepared to be treated how you are treating the right. Lefty company bans ppl on the right, then we have the moral obligation to ban ppl on the left from our businesess.

I had to sign a letter with my employer stating that I accepted I could be terminated should I not be fully vaccinated by Dec 31, 2021. I feel a line has been crossed, and I fully support the idea that the mandate is bad. Vaccines are great, I voluntarily got it anyway, but I don't feel it's ok to say you deserve to be fired or worse (and I've heard much worse) if you decide the vaccine is not for you. I support the…
in the USA, a psychiatric patient, even if seriously ill, has the right to refuse medication. This non-negotiable law is in place exactly because of past generations battle over forced medications.

>in the USA, a psychiatric patient, even if seriously ill, has the right to refuse medication even if involuntarily committed to a mental institution?
Most states define laws of their own around this, and usually a longer involuntary stay requires a court hearing. But I wouldn’t be surprised if even those are operating in a legal gray area that would get shot down upon a SCOTUS hearing. More realistically, the Supreme Court wouldn’t hear these cases due to higher priorities, but I think the “right to liberty” has only very few exceptions.

You aren't even getting the argument right. They are protesting mandates. I can be pro-sterilization but anti forced-sterilization. There is a big difference. Enough to drive a few trucks through.

I'm so glad you agree with me. So you are okay then with truckers refusal to deliver food to lefty run cities. Awesome we agree! So just be prepared to be treated how you are treating the right.

>By accepting this mandate we're not only accepting this jab, we're accepting all the future crazy ideas that the government will come with. No we're not. Accepting mandates doesn't somehow force everyone to automatically accept anything any politician claims or does in the future. That's not how anything works.
There's literally people in this thread that are justifying vaccine mandates because we had them before.
It's justification for the sake of allaying that commentator's fears. Most people that support the mandate support it because it makes sense and they've thought about it. In fact, I'd wager that those who are against the mandate are more often susceptible to being brainwashed than those who are enthusiastically for it

At least in the US lots of vaccines are mandated (of children) and it's not political.
I don't know what decade you were born in, but I have cousins aged 18 and 20 that have never been vaccinated because of their mom's political beliefs.
That said I don't think it's productive to debate what "political" means.
