Jonathan Isaac on why he's not getting the vaccine

[GoAggieGo.]

I’m vaccinated, but I respect his response. Spoke with a black nurse over the weekend, who pretty much said she was uncomfortable as well, and that’s why she hasn’t taken it.

If vaccines do not prevent transmission, how does Jonathan Isaac getting vaccinated an act of public health for the greater good.

They lessen the likelihood of developing symptoms including coughing, sneezing thus diminishing the primary modes of transmission.

I'm not talking specifically about you. It's a general "you". It doesn't matter how rare they are. They are being used now.

The government is going to have a hard time actually enforcing that rule as OSHA doesn't have the manpower or resources to fully pull it off. You'll essentially have to have people operating under the snitch hotline to even catch businesses.

You can pay less of a fine for someone getting killed at your workplace than the fines that they are talking about for not having your workers vaccinated. That's why the entire plan is a joke.

What does “uncomfortable” even mean? What is the source of discomfort?

 

[Larry]

yeah homie ain't say anything wrong

I agree with him, and I'm vaccinated

The only issue is that he won't be allowed to play in certain cities (NYC, San Francisco, Washington) which can impact the results of games but hey it's not like the Magic are doing shyt this year anyway.

Unrelated but Wiggins and Kyrie's situation for instance is not comparable to Issac's.

Well then he better hope those are home games


I'm not apathetic to people who dont want to get the vaccine. I'm one of them.

But I know my work-life will 100% be negatively impacted by me not getting the vaccine. I gotta deal with that.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I was uncomfortable and even after getting the vaccine, I’m still uncomfortable because I don’t know long term effects. What could possibly happen in the future with this thing

I feel like most people have no clue what happened with Tuskegee experiment, i haven't kept up with the latest smart dumb nikka logic playbook. Is the new argument for being against this vaccine that blacks are getting separate experimental doses or some shyt?

That is the subtext of it, yeap. Pretty much.
But that was the sentiment even prior to the development of vaccines. Black people do have a history of ongoing discrimination, neglect, and experimentation within the medical field only further complicated by wealth distribution being used to triage actual service. I understand. All the reasons not to trust the vaccine are there. I feel it’s more endemic of America as a failed state than niqqas being smart dumb. But yup. Long of the short of it


I’m vaxxed tho ain’t playing with that sht

Which is why private businesses and cities have undertaken the responsibility of mandating them.

Are you more comfortable with the long-term side effects of COVID than you are with the vaccine? To me, the equation is pretty simple.

I don't of any vaccine that has long-term side effects. They are in and out of your body with a short time period.

Which is why private businesses and cities have undertaken the responsibility of mandating them.

Which will still require OSHA's services and a snitch hotline to ensure that the mandates are being followed

I'm not an expert in labor law but I don't see why businesses can't handle the tracking of vaccination status themselves.

 

[MoneyTron]

What you do (or don’t do) with your body is your business…UNLESS it has the ability to directly, negatively affect other people.

If you don’t want to take the vaccine, quit the NBA and go buy an island in which you can create your own rules and treat your body as you desire with out affecting other people.

People are having a really hard time understanding what "public health" is and I still don't understand. The US seems to be the only country with this issue. Australia has already match America in per capita vaccination status within the span of a couple of months and they are a majority right wing country.

Explain to us how Jonathan Isaac getting vaccinated stops people from getting long-covid

(that stat is obvious bs btw)

Long haulers: Why some people experience long-term coronavirus symptoms




https://www.woodtv.com/health/coronavirus/study-1-in-4-covid-19-patients-considered-long-haulers/

snippet:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A new study led by the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services found more than 25% of Michiganders diagnosed with COVID-19 are considered “long haulers,” meaning they are still dealing with health effects from the virus.

For the study, researchers surveyed 638 Michiganders who were diagnosed with COVID-19 before April 15. Everyone was contacted at least 10 weeks after their diagnosis for follow-up questions. Of the 638, 26.2% say they are still dealing with virus symptoms and don’t consider themselves fully recovered.

“A lot of what’s been circulating in the media about COVID is that it affects a small group of people very severely, but the majority of people recover,” said Jana Hirschtick, one of two lead researchers on the project from the University of Michigan. “And I think two key things that we are learning from our study is that among people who have been diagnosed, actually, the majority of them are reporting severe or very severe symptoms and that a lot of people aren’t recovering even months later, so prevention is really key.”

Of the 638 patients surveyed, 25.8% of them say they suffered “very severe” symptoms at the height of their illness, while 39% only called them severe. A combined 35.2% said their symptoms were either moderate or mild.

Still, the survey shows the virus isn’t only a long-term problem for long haulers. Of the 420 respondents who do consider themselves recovered, 16.9% of them say it took at least seven weeks or longer for them to beat the virus entirely. Approximately two out of five recovered respondents felt better after two weeks of their diagnosis, and about three out of five felt fully recovered within three weeks.
