Can you talk us through exactly which rights you think are being violated?

I recall the left has been very vocal about "my body my right" when it came to some different kind of issue.

Funny that the standards don't hold very much.

That debate is about the state forcing you to do something.

This debate is about Google opting to not employ you.

Not even remotely comparable.

Abortion is not even remotely comparable to this particular issue since it doesn't harm anyone but the real stakeholders. Not getting vaccine threaten everyone around you. Probably it's more comparable to the idiom "your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins".

I am kind of tired of hearing that when ACTUAL DATA shows that vaccinated people transmit the virus just as well.

I am also kind of tired of hearing those who tries to turn this complex statistical problem into a simple binary problem in order to make an argument against vaccine.

Yeah, it's not a binary problem but the reproduction rate drastically decreases with vaccine. Vaccinated people may transmit the virus, but they're less likely to get infected at the first moment AND less likely to spread. This is supported by ACTUAL DATA from everywhere, including Israel and Portugal.

Regarding abortion. Are pregnancies contagious now, creating a serious public health crisis?

the serious health crisis where mostly people with 3-4 comorbidities (or old age) are dying? It's rather a crisis when your population is not being very healthy in the first place.

It’s not that goddamn hard to understand to even average intelligence people.. where do people with serious symptoms go when they can barely breath? To the hospital. Does the hospital has limited capacity? Yes. Will they be flooded really quickly when a disease grows exponentially? Hopefully you know the answer.

Now, tell me, where do healthy 20 years olds go (who I guess you are able to emphasize with, or is that only yourself?) when they get in an accident? Is a cancer discovered at the prime of someone’s life “comormibidity”?

Most of the time they happen due to contamination by foreign gene material. And historically they certainly have caused lot of mortality.

I assume he means the right to not have a substance injected into your body if you don't want it.
Re:Google says employees flouting vaccination rules will eve... by chrisseaton on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @10:10AM (#29566968)
Google aren't forcing you to get an injection. They just won't employ you if you don't. That's not a violation of any rights.

Google also won't employ you if you turn up to your interview with very bad breath. That's not a violation of a right to not clean your teeth.

You're seriously confused about what a 'right' is.

There is no medical secret anymore? Being vaccinated or not should be, and remain, a private decision - with your doctor as a counterpart. Your employer has nothing to do in it.

No I don't think that's a right is it?

I've always had to disclose vaccination status prior to the pandemic to my employer for travel reasons, for example.
