You're missing the point. Its not the virus, or about "poisoning us", its the precedent that is being set by the government essentially forcing a new substance injected into the masses.

Any sane person would conceit that a medical decision is to be made by doctors and their patients, not mandated by the government, as every single case and patient is different.

The fact that the government is mandating this (after Biden explicitly said he wouldn't put a mandate in place the way)is extremely dangerous. If they can do this successfully, only time will tell what they'll try next.

Even Texas has vaccination mandates for children (PDF): https://dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/school/pdf/6-14-2021-2022-... so "medical decision between doctor and patient" is horseshit. Or to be more polite, irrelevant, because that decision is still there, i.e. a doctor can give you an exemption after determining you're unable to have the vaccine.

And the only difference between what I wrote and what you're painting is the timeline. Your comment means to me: maybe the government means no harm with their mandate, but what if they get away with it and exploit this compliance in the future? So my argument from the grandparent comment applies: what will their goal be in this scary future? If it's a dubious reason, I'll be there to fight it. But I guess you have a head start there, against this "evil Biden regime" that wants a compliant population to control!

You're comparing a school requirement for children, with extensively studied and venerable vaccines (which are not RNA based) to a government mandate on all federal workers, and soon to include the private sector as well (ie get it or get fired)? Seriously?

I can home school my child, but cutting off peoples livelihood is not the same.

If you cannot see that, then there is no reasoning with you.

You seem to be upset (ie cursing etc), you should perhaps consider that your anger is clouding your judgement.

Since this is Hacker News, here's the founder of PowerDNS on reverse engineering the mRNA vaccines: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source... . You'll find what it all does and why it should be safe, and then my guess is you'll dismiss it because you know that you know better.

Not having a vaccine mandate for children is dangerous because making it optional mean many can be infected, be sick and die. The same logic seems to be being applied to society in general. "No vaccine = not welcome in school" is now "no vaccine = not welcome to parcitipate in large parts of society". Sure it's brutal, but hah there's a brutal pandemic going on.

And your judgement seems to be clouded by your preconception that the government is bad and is out to harm you and many others. A few weeks ago I asked myself "Why do I even put emotional energy into trying to convince people (random strangers on the Internet) who I shouldn't give a shit about if they want to be stupid and ignorant?", but yeah, here I am back at being upset at not being able to get through thickheaded people. I went through your comment history and you have plenty of dead comments due to your bigotry, so I wonder whose head is screwed on correctly. But well, idiots never know they're idiots, right, and that applies to me too.

I'm glad you came to the same conclusion about yourself that I did from the very start of this conversation.

mRNA as a vaccination route has been studied for quite a while. It's considerably less invasive than other conventional vaccines.
