I haven't read or heard a thing about this but I just saw this change.org petition with well known riders signing and making comments. This could get uglier than the '95 Vegas boycott.

Nothing should be mandatory about putting something in your own body. Not sure if this is legit, but if so, I agree with the aforementioned riders.

Lots will say "I'm anti compulsory vaccination" as a statement, but get it voluntarily.
They know now vax is safe and they want to be able to fly.
Peeps should look at vax like any other workplace safety measure: you may not even know it saved you.

Everyone has the right to do what they think is right for their health.

My partner is a nurse and she's seen some ugly stuff from people who got the cure.

Unless I missed something, nobody is making the vaccine mandatory to riders so the petition to begin with seems odd.

My father just got the vaccine 2 weeks ago. His wife made him get it so she could “feel safe”. Come Saturday the guy is having seizures all night, has to be taken in an ambulance, on ventilator till today. Doctor said he got covid. His brother got it and was down for a month. I don’t blame a single person for not getting it.

I call bullshit on your story. I work in a care home and over 159 elderly got both covid vaxx shots and not one of them had any issues. Also hundred's of thousands of people in my city have been double vaxxed and not one person has been placed on a ventilator due to a reaction from the vaccine.

I work in the 911 system and I’ve already seen multiple vaccinated people test positive for covid with severe s/s. Local ERCs are already seeing people getting covid more than once as well as vaccinated people both coming in with really bad s/s long after the vaccine.

Do ya think all the folks going along with “it’s safe!” have ever read any of those CDC SARS2/COVID-19 Bulletins that start with…
“In the absence of empirical data…”…?

I work in a large factory. (over 5000 people go through the gates everyday) Me being in TX, I'm in the minority of those around me that are vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccines I received last May are now FDA Approved. No different than taking an FDA approved prescription medicine from your doctor, which I know 100% of everyone on here has in there lifetime.
I choose to work 3rd shift because there is about 80% less people in the plant while I'm at work.
On my shift, there are only 10 of us in my department (including myself), and in a general proximity to me. I am the only one who chose to get vaccinated. Since August 1st, 3 of the of my coworkers have contracted Covid. One of my coworkers was hospitalized 9 days and died of Covid on August 22nd. He was 60 years old, with 4 grandchildren, a wonderful wife, (who also got Covid but survived) and 2 adult children. He was otherwise healthy, and had no underlying conditions. I have another coworker on my shift who has been hospitalized in ICU since August 14th, and is on a ventilator. His prognosis is day to day currently.
The 3rd was very sick, but is recovering and should be back to work after the Labor Day holiday.
I also lost a 46 year old cousin to Covid less than 3 months ago. He was a very healthy strong man.
This all has affected me greatly.
I will NEVER understand the bullshit politics that have influenced so many and the other unjustified reasons for remaining unvaccinated.
A few years ago, folks would say they couldn't do a 6th graders math, yet today they believe they're smarter than scientists, and doctors??
Those who won't get the FDA approved vaccine, are basically ruining the party for the rest of us.
While its mostly now killing voters on one side than the other, its still a human life.

Thats fine you wanted it you got it.

No one should be forced to do anything they don't want especially when it comes to health.

As a general principal living in a high functioning society means that sometimes you will have to do things for the greater good that may be slightly inconvenient.
It's increasingly obvious that vaxx is very helpful, practically harmless though not magic and over time- years- the vast majority of people will get vaccinated and have the booster shots.

I'm not going to argue but I'm for pro choice.

I'll end with this I know 6 people who have had side affects from the cure and one of them includes paralysis.

85 years ago our grandfathers left to fight wars in the Pacific and in Europe while the women stayed here building tanks, planes, and bombs so that we could preserve our way of life here in the U.S, stop the spread of tyranny, and stop genocide. I'm sure that many of them didn't want to do it, but they felt a civic responsiblity to do so. Especially after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Fast forward 85 years and we are arguing over how we stop this virus and preserve our way of life. We all have a civic responsibility in this. Some don't feel comfortable with the vaccine and that's understandable. Maybe the contribution that those people make is just wearing a mask indoors and social distancing. That's fine.

None the less, we all have a responsibility to contribute in SOME sort of way. Nobody liked doing a group project in school when half of the group contributed nothing because it was inconvenient for them, but then still reaped the benefits of what the contributing group members did.

Increasing obvious it's safe from the massive sample size we've had to draw from? How about in a couple yrs? Ten yrs? I hate even getting into a discussion on this but apparently this is all we talk about on vital now it's every thread. People so confident it's safe. How tf do we know that so soon? How many commercials you see with class action lawsuits for a drug that was "safe and FDA approved" for yrs and now it fucked up all kinds of people.

I got my second moderna jab (mainly for travel reasons) on Tuesday and it completely wiped me out for 36 hours. I could barely move, was experiencing random heart rate spikes, cold sweats, dizzyness and aching throughout my entire body. I'm 24 and would consider myself very healthy. There are reports of young people dying from blood clots due to the vaccine and although rare, is a very extreme side effect being swept under the rug.

It seems bad reactions to the vaccines are happening more frequently to younger age groups who are far less likely to be hospitalised or suffer from any severe covid symptoms in the first place. Makes me wonder if the 'cure' may be worse than the virus for young healthy people.

I hate the fact that anyone discussing the extreme side effects or anything negative about the vaccine is being labelled as an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist. I am simply describing my own personal experience with it.

If I was a professional athlete I would certainly steer clear. Not to mention wanting complete control over my own health choices whether that means getting the vax or not.

Those bad side effects always tend to happens to friends neighbors relative living in distant place...

Me, my parents, my brother, my coworkers and most of my friends have all been vaccinated twice without any permanent side effects. Only side effect they have encountered is mild fever. I myself had none.

Riding motocross is a lot bigger risk than taking couple of vaccine. Only complete p*ss* hasn't got courage to get vaccinated against COVID-19

It is hard for me to realize that there are people in this world want to control others and their choices. Whatever happened to my body, my life, my choice? Freedom and Liberty? There is enough bullying, peer pressure, and even threats of job loss these days to drive a person mad. If anybody wants to inject an experimental substance into their body in which the producers and administrators have zero liability, neither use their product themselves go right on ahead. As for me, I make my own choices and I have the right to do so. Not to mention that what they approved is not what they are injecting into peoples bodies at the moment. They blew through many regulations to give it the rubber stamp. They do not approve normal vaccines this way. Such deceit and immorality these days. So many tyrants about. Don't look.... Don't ask just sign it...After all it's safe and effective.....

Eric Clapton - He got the vax and now has problems playing guitar.

IMO get the vax if you want - Do people realize they are injecting a highly infectious disease into your body so you can produce antigens. Most people do not realize once they had the vax they go covid - No way round that fact. Also they also spread covid (Hello it is highly infectious). So who is a danger to who ???

BUT the biggest issue is the TYRANNY !!! Mandates which goes against the Nuremburg code from 74 years ago when the Nazi did the same thing against the will of the people.

Take it or don't take it either way - But stop forcing people !!!

How about the new Mu variant that seems to be vaccine resistant? Do you just keep taking boosters or new formulated vaccines to fight new variants? How about the study put out this week on national news that if you have previously had Covid you are less likely to get Delta than a double vaxxed pfizer person. How about the efficiency of the vaccine vs. delta dropping 30%. Just keep taking experimental jabs as new variants come out? Said it before and I’ll say it again, if you have to carry a card in your pocket (or pass on your phone) proving you injected a drug into your body to gain access to grocery stores, receive medical care or to freely move about society then you no longer live in a free country and you are no longer sovereign over your own body. That should concern everyone, regardless of political party preference or medical choices.
If you want it, get it. If you don't, don’t. Simple really.

To answer the OP's question, no, this is not a thing. This is merely manufactured drama, which seems to be very popular these days.

Good for you. Everyone is not that lucky including some VitalMX forum members who have passed due to COVID-19.

My wife is pregnant and getting sick with COVID-19 could cause serious damage to her and the baby. I'm not taking any chance infecting her...
