Personally as far as vaccinations are concerned that's a personal choice and as with masks if you chose to wear one or not just don't make a big deal out of it either way. If some business wants to require everyone show proof they have skydived in a snorkel thats within there rights long as its not discriminatory. I find it interesting you used the "no shirt no shoes no service" analogy and it is spot on the money for this topic. There has never been any law or code that enforces the no shirt no shoes policy however. The history of this standard policy businesses have implemented in the past were to slide under discrimination laws. After the Civil rights act businesses would post these signs to keep poorer people from being able to enter their businesses mainly directed at minorities. Then again in the 70s to keep the no shirt no shoes long haired hippies out. I find it now that the mask mandates have been lifted it is used to keep people of certain political beliefs out by either requiring them or by making it blatant you don't want to see anyone in one. It's a new interesting age we live in were discrimination for race, religion, and sexual behaviors have all taken a back seat to the all mighty political view.

Surprising it has become such a politically divided topic. However, I remember when our kids were little and we went through the normal course of decisions on vaccinations. Most were no brainers, chicken pox, measles etc. But our daughter hit her teens right as the HPV vaccination was coming out. I remember talking about the risk of HPV and the newness of the vaccine with our doctor and with my wife’s sister and brother in law who are both doctors. Based on this we made our own decision for our daughter based on risk of disease versus risk of vaccination. That seemed like a good approach at the time. Our current situation isn’t like that since the government is pushing the vaccinations so hard, which is why I think folks see this as political topic. Not looking to start a Lent thread, but I suspect the politics of vaccination are going to be with us as long as political resources such and governors and federal officials are commenting on vaccination and even making policy based on vaccination status. I remember an uncle telling me once, being forced to do something makes people feel much differently about doing it. He said “giving money in the collection plate at church is something you know you should do, and when you do it on your own, you feel good about it. However if someone forces you to do it, whether by taking the money from your pocket, or not letting you go to church unless you give at the collection plate, you don’t feel the same about it. It is still the right thing to do, but that good thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Most people will do the right thing in their own time.” Regards, David Coudron From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2021 10:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT commies I can not for the life of me figure out how getting vaccinated has turned into some kind of political discussion. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 5/18/2021 8:19 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: <blockquote> A local popular restaurant that has survived the last year on take out orders is opening to in store dining with no social distancing.

We could flush out all the commies too. Anybody who doesnt like tamales is an obvious commie. I do wonder what the US spends on tamales annually. It's an all cash business. As far as food services go, the margins are pretty good. I'd bet the annual sales if there were a way to estimate them are pretty high.
