Vaccine

[Mark CASTELLANI]

You are just afraid to get the vaccine. End of story , don't need to hear endless B.S and reasons and conspiracy theories. Man up and get vaccinated.

Where we will be camping, the Rangers had to put down a Bear a couple of years ago... apparently it became agressive and was harrasing campers.... We'll be doing some back-country hiking... gotta be extra cautious for Ticks... I've had many encounters with Black Bears, over the years... I've never had a Tick bite [though, one of our Sons has]

We're pretty well prepared and experienced campers and, we're willing to take the risk

WE'RE GOING CAMPING!!!!

Happy Trails!

[PS: already been infected with COVID and I survived... I, now, got natural antibodies..."Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the Excorcist 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it. Not to mention the fact that you're talking to a dead guy! Now what do you think!? You think I'm qualified?" (Bettlejuice) LOL

We've tripped into the territory of personally attacking a fellow member on the forum. I am not super familiar with the way this forum works, but this seems to be a bit over the line of decency at this point. I may have missed earlier posts that go into this territory.

Considering how this disease and potential treatments / prevention has been shoved so solidly into the realm of the political, I am more than a little surprised the mods / admins here let this thread get off the ground at all... Too touchy of a subject.

Maybe for some civility we can go participate in a Linux users discussion on which distribution is best... No different.

Mint! If you disagree, I will torment you and everyone you love. Or something….

I still don’t understand how something as simple as getting vaccinated against a virus (regardless of its origin) could have been politicized. I don’t understand how the vaccine is emergency/provisional-only while the rest of the planet has full approvals. I don’t understand how reopening is based on individual vaccination status rather than percentage of population, or on number of cases

I also do not understand wearing masks alone outside, or how camping could be a risk (provided reasonable allowances for any indoor structures). I don’t understand how wearing a mask is a badge of honour for some, but also don’t understand how others get offended if I choose to occasionally still wear a mask (seems to really help my allergies on bad pollen days)

I don’t understand so very much.

But I do understand that this site is a great place to put everything else aside and discuss the one thing we can all agree that we love - camping

Well...Me and Mark are good...I don't hold grudges on any forum members.
I can't speak for anyone else.
It has been a good thread for the most part... But yes it is way past it's shelf life.
Everyone on here are still my camping brothers and sisters even if we disagree.

Is this a "Kumbaya" moment?

Why yes it is...We may be going to the opera.
