No, vaccinations are how we get out and people who are medically able to get them and don’t are hurting each and every human on this planet due to their own hubris.

Please wake up before things turn violent. Your side is literally going to start a war in the name of “public health”, if this continues.

Would you please stop posting ideological battle comments and flamewar comments to HN? You've been doing it a lot, and we ban that sort of account. I don't want to ban you, because you've also posted about other things, but you're on the wrong side of the line right now (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for what I mean by that). Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this.

I think you're going to need a lot more than friendly requests when someone is starting to spiral toward public violence rhetoric, man. smh.

Nah, please delete my account. I should be putting energy into a community that isn’t dominated by fascists.

To the fascists: Get the fuck out of our business, and maybe we can coexist peacefully. Or don’t, and see what happens.

There is not an “enormous majority”, even in the relatively vaccine-hesitant US, that opposes vaccine mandates; there is, on recent polls, within the MoE of 50% that opposes a general adult mandate, and only a minority that opposes slightly narrower mandates attached to participation in most significant public activities.

In Germany, the subject of the story, support for a general mandate was in the high 50s a month ago and around 70% now. Opposition is a rapidly shrinking minority.

Your allusions to harming your fellow man over a mandate they didn't create or implement is highlighting some other, more pressing, issues.

> You believe polls?

They're more reliable than your feels, for instance.

> There is nothing “hesitant” about it - we see exactly what is going on, and we will never accept this tyranny.

Come on. Throw around the word "tyranny" like that, and it will lose its meaning. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

> If you insist on testing your odds with this, you will only cause unimaginable suffering, and then lose.

What now? A civil war over vaccine mandates, let alone one with the anti-vaxers winning, is a delusional fantasy.

You are serving an evil cause. It will go down in history as such.

Hopefully you never find out how hard people fight when they know that they are fighting pure evil.

True patriots would say there should be a big reversal at the ballot box instead of threatening violence with your fellow countrymen.

The problem of course is that once one side lost a fairly held election, the vocal minority went right to violence (see Jan 6). And now violence is acceptable political discourse on one side.

And now it seems like one political party is worse than Russia -- who assassinates it's political dissidents.

I'm pretty sure if you ask around, no patriots wanted Steve Scalise, Ronald Reagan, JFK, Malcolm X, Gabbi Giffords, etc to have been shot.

No true patriot, eh?
