Covid vaccines - thread banned users in First Post

As I have said before, there is a more interesting discussion to be had - in this case why the shift in attitude from getting vaccinated is entirely an individual's choice, no pressure of any kind, to coercive measures to "encourage" vaccination.

But it is impossible to have that discussion as long as there are posters who will try and derail it by insisting nobody was ever under any pressure to get vaccinated, nor was anybody coerced, and in fact even mandatory vaccination cannot be considered coercive because it is not compulsory!

It's insane.

Numerous times. In fact one poster repeated it so often they got banned for it.

Presumably you are no longer taking issue with my claim that posters on this thread are saying mandatory vaccination is not coercion?

My main point was that there was no coercion in Ireland

Would you agree that people in Ireland faced political and social pressure to get vaccinated?

or at EU wide level

Clearly at EU wide level vax certs for travel where always on the table, but would you agree that no EU politicians, or any politicians from individual member states, were talking about even the possibility of mandatory vaccinations in Dec 2020? Quite the opposite in fact - they were outspoken against the idea?

I'm not filibustering a thread. Learnt that lesson with the poster who spent 50 pages failing to prove that insufficient data was in fact extremely comprehensive data. Not going to make the same mistake arguing that mandatory vaccinations are not compulsory.

They are two of the most glaring examples of a widespread revisionism about the vaccines and an inability to acknowledge even a minor truth that could be viewed as critical of the vaccines.

Other examples are the claims that vaccines were never intended to prevent infection or to achieve herd immunity. Or what constitutes vaccine failure. Or the fact that being immune to a disease now means something different than it did 2 years ago. I could go on and on.

Why is this so prevalent, both at a micro and macro level? Is this a conspiracy? I don't know, but I think for those interested in conspiracy theories it is potentially fascinating question to discuss.

Unfortunately you and others, for whatever reason are hell bent on ensuring this discussion does not take place. Either by arguing black is white, or trying to discredit posters - for example because somebody in a different thread who has stated they think the earth is flat has thanked a post here. That's one of your favourite tactics.

Or by trying to get the thread closed. You ask for this repeatedly. Why are you so keen that the thread is closed?
