"You have a right not to have your body or person unjustifiably interfered with"
Which seems to give ample opportunity to allow vaccines as mandatory on the grounds that it is justified for national health. Especially as there is no constitutional right to a specific job, despite the overall right to work.

Mandatory vaccination is a very difficult issue. There is a delicate balance to be struck between individual rights and the public good. That's not something that can be done easily. The law has to be proportionate to its objective and the objective has to be clear and unambiguous. If I have a genuinely held religious belief against vaccination, does the State have the right to force me to be vaccinated? Even if it is a personal belief, genuinely and strongly held in good faith, can the State override that in all circumstances? Are there exceptions and, if so, what are they?
Direct mandates are difficult to operate. Indirect mandates even more so. Make public services, employment and so forth contingent on vaccination and you get to the same result. Mandatory vaccination by indirect means. But the same problems arise with it. Finding a balance between the two is really difficult and a policy problem for which I have never heard a good or reasonable answer.
As I said, I think the public good exception does give scope for some form of approach (direct or indirect mandate) but it will 100% be challenged by a combination of good faith actors and the usual suspects.

Seems fair enough to me, they can get vaccinated if they want to socialise. It's their choice at the end of the day if they want to restrict their own lives.
Also wouldn't complain if it became mandatory in the workplace.

Can't see these track marks you're referring to, in that video at least.
Like, devil's advocate how? You think the lad removing the Covid patient from hospital is the sensible one here and the doctor and nurse are somehow the ones in the wrong? This isn't a case of "I'm just asking questions". What do you think is going on if you feel his breathing isn't laboured etc despite the doctor explicitly saying to him, in the video, that he is "barely able to breathe there now" while the other chap says the doctors are going to kill him. Which one of them are you saying is right?

Secondly, and this isnt a dig at you, it's people and society in general. The problem is you replied to just a quick clip instead of checking out the story first. See it all the time online, people responding to things when they dont actually know the full story available. And when people do that and are in the wrong, they should be called on it. Nothing more to it.

The wrist bruises look consistent with an arterial blood gas test to me. Not uncommon to get bruising from them as far as I know but medical types here can say better.

I'd also recommend finger exercises on the guitar to develop finger independance. Then learn some chords and some songs and enjoy. You may prefer to simply learn scales and jam etc . I'd also advise to have set times every day to spend to practice but try to have the mindset that's it's not a chore
Journal your practice and tick off as you gain competence.

As i stated, i had more information a few mins later and i then had a view, before that i was as i said playing devils advocate and offering another side to hitches story without taking any side whatsoever.
Maybe you missed his OP on it yesterday which is fair enough. There is absolutely no requirement for "due diligence" before you comment on anything. But you were on the wrong side of it and playing Devils advocate made no sense which is why I tried to add context, not outrage.
I concede I didnt read on and see your later post that I've now seen. But again, it was absolutely nothing personal so I'll leave it there.

If you honestly feel you should no longer have the right to decide what is injected into your body you are unconscious. You simply have not sat with yourself and are not operating from the seat of awareness. You just can not be conscious. Shocked to my absolute core you cant see why people feel that it is something worth fighting for.
Literally cant stomach this. Absolutely mind boggling.

Governments also have the right, in the interests of the greater good, to then exclude you from places where your choice might endanger others. And we increasingly see them exercising this (Italy, France, the US etc)."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

The conflict is a workers right to a safe working environment v someone thinking they have a right to work in your company irrespective of health. Say no to the vaccine , work from home, outdoors etc however protesting about your rights whilst infringing on others is a bit hypocritical no?
It's not really that cloudy .

So, sincerely fair fucks on that note.
Do you guys recognize that, or are you literally ignoring the fact that taking away someone's right to work, provide for their family, is taking away their choice. It is implicit coercion. You, all, deep down know this, and if you ignore it, you are just not a the wheel. You are no longer there.Too comfortable. Too sedated.
I mean, its utterly mind blowing that this even needs to be said.
Imagine being a nurse or a doctor, and there are plenty, who stood fighting this for 18 months, and now being told, get this or we are taking away your right to the job they worked hard to get and maintain. Taking care of us.
Whoever thinks that's Ok, fuck you. Go fuck yourselves. Not people I'd be willing to pretend to ignore exactly what you are and really not people I could exchange fake pleasantries or have a single thing to say to them.

You are deliberately ignoring the choice aspect of this . It's not quite a Typhoid Mary situation. Or a no blacks or Irish. I thought people with heightened awareness developed a sense of how we are a part of everything. The viewpoint you are courting betrays a selfish take. . If you were to look at a group of cells and identify cells that are susceptible to infecting the rest of the cells. What would you do? Protect the majority or simply let nature decide ? Take away covid if someone came into the workplace from a home where everyone had a puking virus . They are irresponsible and selfish. This is the 1st pandemic in our lifetime , let's not let emotion overtake our handling of this. You'll be fine as will most people patiently waiting to ride out this thing. Temporary measures . Not worth the uproar and indignation IMO

Maybe they get told that laser eye surgery is a solution that would allow them to continue working. Is that coercion? Have a medical procedure on your eyes or lose your right to work because you are an unacceptable risk to other people. Would you think that's fair? Or would you stand up for the rights of Surgeon Magoo to have a go at your keyhole surgery?

Nature decides anyway Willy. People, have through no fault of their own, stopped sitting with feelings of discomfort. We reach for distraction. Phone. Food. Whatever.
This extends to fear. Acknowledging death is part of life. Death presents life. Memento Mori. For the most part, we as a collective consciousness are now so disconnected we dont do this sitting part. We have been moved into a vibration of fear. Our attention can no longer be harvested by insta or Fb or all that nonsense. We all recognize a shift, an evolutionary shift in consciousness.
I got Covid last month and was hospitalised in France overnight. I was terrified, and then I was overcome with actual gratitude to face my own bullshit. I was convinced I was no longer afraid of death. When I got Covid I was utterly terrified and it forced me to look at myself and many things. Thankfully I recovered. Vaccines are great, even this one seems to have a great impact on death rates, serious illness etc, but you HAVE to have a choice. A real choice. Lose your job or get it is NOT choice.

Infact it's a form of not being conscious to do so. This is utter lunacy. Ignoring stuff like natural immunity which offers it seems significantly more protection etc etc etc and the etc are many.

Workers rights! Come on man. Having the right to say what goes into your own body is the issue not some workers right issue.
I'm not damning people at all. Where or how do I do that. Its admirable that many have viewed it as such, and in cases gone against their natural inclination with the goal of protecting others. The best of humanity.

I'm also convinced we are coming out the other side of this and all the measures will be reviewed as temporary and non vaccinated will once again mix with us in the heat of some nightclub where we will all be killing our livers and showing the doc our genital warts . A little more patience. We possess technology to boost nature in its battle. I doubt dr Evil is lurking.
