As far as certain people on this board go I don't think Chief is one of these extremists that will go to any length to minimize COVID's impact.

My initial comment about “back to its the flu” was dumb. Wasn’t trying to say that he thought this was the flu. I harkened back to the original misinformation and let it fly.
What I was trying to say was that even comparing the flu vaccine to the covid vaccine is silly because, again, we can live with the flu. Not so much with this virus. How many people get flu shots every year? Not 70 percent of the country’s population Ill tell you that. But we live with it. For the most part, the very most part. This vaccine is beyond necessary to stop this thing in its tracks. I dont know Chief obviously. Wasn’t talking directly at him when i said “fuck you get your shots”. Was talking to the world in general. This isn’t politics, or team names, or favorite movies we are discussing. This is life and fucking death. I won’t sit back and let people post misinformation. Sorry. Fact is that the vaccine is our only defense if we want to stop social distancing and wearing masks, etc, and we are running out of time. His statement about …well its gonna mutate so learn to live with it is fuckin garbage. Sorry. Get your shots. Do your part. There is no science whatsoever that backs up his “the vaccine isn’t right for everyone “
That is misinformation.
