Keyword lethal,I didn't say anything about infectivity.(Which the vaccine doesn't prevent anyway.)

We would also have trumpist politicians screaming and passing bills to limit child protection over the vaccine.

That of course ignores they are already overworked as it is.

Basically……child services is not a viable solution.

You obviously don’t know anything about Sesame Street.

They are simply showing that a shot isn’t that bad. That’s good thing with all the lies which have been spred by the trumpists and anti-vaxers.

god fucking forbid we help people make informed decisions though right

I've gotta live with them, so nah.

and if the parents are shit? should we just let parents raise kids in a goddamn cult if that is their want? if the parents tell kids the kkk are nice men doing good things, that's just dandy?

lmao are you now arguing that the sorts of people that spread vaccine misinfo are also the ones who have any fondness at all for public broadcasting


I'm not giving you a reason, go ask them yourself.

If you refuse to back up your argument, don't make it in the first place. Pure cowardice.
Example of people thinking something was factually safe but wasn't.

lol and you got on MY case about false dichotomies
Do it on your own time, the corpos can screw off trying to shove their preaching down kids' throats.

...what???
Fascist detected.

lmao aren't us lefties supposed to be the ones bandying that around for everyone we slightly disagree with
If they abuse their kids that's one thing, but have you ever thought that people are allowed to be reprehensible?

Have YOU ever thought that people might want to be a force for good for more than themselves?
Yes.

I have a question for you. Let’s say the constitution allows for the government to call a national referendum. In this case “Should there be a national vaccine mandate?” Would you vote:

“Yes”
-or-
“No”

Last I checked Sesame Street isn't Two Minutes Hate, and parents are free to not let their kids watch it if they don't want their kids to learn harmful ideas like 2 + 2 = 4.

Ah, but you see, 2 + 2 = 4 goes against my personal theory of mathematics which I developed through research I conducted on Facebook.

Considering we are seeing them turn against other vaccines this is not true. And considering how many have already had these vaccines, there is no reason to be against this one.

Getting their kids killed is another story, but refusing a Covid vaccine won't kill your kids. Children are more resistant to the virus. It's only lethal to immunocompromised individuals.


I would ask for a source. However, I suspect you don’t have any.

Kids are not starting to die from covid. Trumpists and anti-vaxers said they were practicaly immunie. In the US; only 6 states have reported no child deaths.

Despite the fact Trump took this one, and made no small amount of noise that it was the 'Trump Vaccine not the Biden Vaccine'.

I see then. However I said this because instead of an executive order made by the president the people in this case would at least choose to have a mandate.
