You're the one denying the effectiveness of vaccines, Chern, or am I wrong in reading your very words?


You are wrong. I suggest you go back to my post and read it more carefully next time.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Ah “libertarians” always destroying the thing they love the most because of their own stupidity.


Not outlandish at all, if government oversteps their authority it is only natural for insurrections to happen in a country where they value them the most. Okay cool, come and get me then tough guy, make this fun for us. And what makes you think you'll have the ''full might of the state'' backing you up?

It's scary how how ten years ago everyone was trusted and believed in medical science and now some literally think that a vaccination will give your kid autism. Some even take it further and use treatments that do nothing at all. I heard on CBC radio a while back that a woman was convicted of negligence after her son died because she didn't get him proper medical care for his strep infection, instead giving him herbal tea. She had good intentions I know and I believe that she did but you should take your sick kid to the doctor rather than giving tea made from dandelions.

You're not antivax yet support and actually think that a widespread armed insurrection would occur if inoculations became mandatory. Yeah okay.

Then you’re going to need to seriously elaborate on the meaning of your “nope” in reply to me saying that you’d change your tune on mandatory vaccination programs in the event of another major Spanish-flu level pandemic, because it seems to be that your “nope” was saying “I’m so against mandatory vaccination that’d I’d be against it even if tens/hundreds of millions were dead and dying and the only way stopping it was mandatory vaccination”.

I would get vaccinated if it means I'll die from infection if I don't, that doesn't mean however that I'm for forcing people to get them. You can knock it off with the ''either this or'' crap.

That's not me saying I'd rather die.

I'm sure that initially they will take it to court but militias have been training for decades in case something like this happens, so yes they will resist, and government will not have the resources to enforce such laws and suppress dissent.

I'm sure that initially they will take it to court but militias have been training for decades in case something like this happens, so yes they will resist, and government will not have the resources to enforce such laws and suppress dissent.

Again, the few tiny groups that would actually be willing to get themselves killed fighting the government over vaccines are not going to pose some sort of revolutionary threat or be so numerous as to be completely unmanageable. I dont know why you have such a fervent fantasy of seeing this be a thing but I'm sorry to tell you it really won't be.

I would get vaccinated if it means I'll die from infection if I don't, that doesn't mean however that I'm for forcing people to get them. You can knock it off with the ''either this or'' crap.

Yet the most efficient way of dealing with a pandemic would be government mandated vaccination in order to halt and prevent further spread of the disease.
