    I am sure you feel the same for those who were injured by a shot they did not need. All so you can feel better about yourself and the great virtue you have. I am tired of this implied nonsense that those who chose not to take a shot were somehow responsible for anyone dying. Only propaganda could make you believe something like that.

    It goes back to the times when people believed vaccinated were not spreading the disease when they were a driving factor in the spread. Out with sniffles/allergies but actually covid positive because they were told they would not get covid. Spreading away.

    Again, WHY ask for proof of vaccination? It was shown 2 YEARS ago almost that NI is as good or better than just the vaccine. Again, you should be upset with the idiots who were requiring proof of vaccination. Your anger is misplaced. It made no sense back then and makes no sense now. This data isn't new. Freedom to not get vaccinated for a EUA vaccine makes perfect sense. Especially with teen boys because of the increase in risk of myocarditis from the vaccine.

    Again, Freedom from forcing people from taking a vaccine that was under a EUA, especially children. Also, freedom to have kids go to in person learning and taking masks off of kids about as early as just about any state. Contrast is CA who shut down beaches, playgrounds, schools for over a year to in person learning and shuttered countless businesses by forcing them to shut down.

    You are the one wanting to force people to do something. Florida said no. You have the option. And was correct. Not only when it comes to freedom. But when it came to science and medicine.

    I am sure you think it is freedom and science that says Dokovic still can’t come to this country…:rolleyes:

    Yeah bullshit. The Biden/Harris admin has nothing to do with the little girl in the picture you posted wearing a mask. But keep melting about it.

    Understood again, however if my loved one died from cancer and someone was questioning chemo, should I be angry at the person questioning chemo. To what end?

    I doubt a single person has been or will be harmed from the comments on this board and I doubt any of those arguing are actively trying to block anyone's right to vaccinate.

    An opinion about the vaccine is not akin to slighting those who we have lost.

    Frankly it has become an excuse to be hateful (on both sides) throughout this pandemic.

    I just dont get the angst and the hate. People disagree.

    He actually posted the wrong photo. There's an earlier one with a bunch of federal agents in black suits and sunglasses physically restraining the girl and installing her mask. I saw it on facebook, there was like 8 or 9 of them. It was brutal to watch. :D

    Why is the child wearing a mask? Because she felt like it? Yeah, sure. What color is the sky in your world? You keep thinking that little girl wore a mask because she wanted to LOL. Thanks for the laughs. At least have the pride to own it that you are ok masking kids. Unfortunately we all know you won't.

    What about freedom from government forcing us to stay home instead of compete? Or why does that freedom not count?

    I am not in favor of forcing someone to stay home. I disagree with that move for sure. BUT, the place you were going for the tournament is the one who really screwed up. Having to show proof of vaccination without offering similar approval for NI is next level stupid and was 2 years ago. So your blame should be with who required those idiotic rules.

    Probably because her parents put it on her. You think Kamala made the kid wear a mask while she went maskless? What color is the sky in your world? Good lord man.

    Yes, the Admin made the little girl wear the mask to keep up the façade that masks work. Everyone with a brain knows they don't. But if you think it wasn't forced than you are more gullible than I imagined.

    The state of Florida stopped you from showing another state proof of taking a shot?

    I know Florida rightly said you cannot require someone take the shot. I have never heard Florida withheld the ability to show proof of vaccination.

    You are the one cursing. I'm just pointing out how gullible you look by thinking this wasn't orchestrated. Thanks for the Tuesday laughs.
