This is a problem with the machostupid; they always think they are the ones with experience & perspective.
Cops are not exceptions to humanity. They can wear horse blinders, too, like many other folk. The point I asked about, the low vaccine rates among cops & firefighters, puts them in company with other low education groups in vaccination rates. What can I say? Go shoot yourself in the foot?
It would be nice if you could deal with the points I put up instead of claiming privilege of some sort.

Draw your own conclusions. Nothing I tell you will resonate with you anyway.

You're acting like I'm the only person who wonders why cops & firefighters have such low vaccine #s in the face of such high covid death #s. I can only assume it's because so many belong to the "Leopard Ate My Face" party.

ITT

Littlebear broke Sedan_Clan patience. This isn't a failing on Sedan's part, he has always conducted himself with a ton of patience ITT, it was more just an inevitable outcome where the only unknown was when. I was amazed he was as patient as he was for as long as he was.

I rarely try to rationalize with Littlebear anymore.

With the exception of abortion I suppose - I always try to rationalize with anyone on that topic as it might save someone's life. Interestingly, he doesn't like to talk or share much about that topic though.

From my vantage point it's like talking to a rock expecting it to talk back. Everybody has tried to rationalize with him ITT. His anti-police sentiment is obvious, so it colors everything he says (…including his passive-aggressiveness or condescension). He could've simply asked about lower police/fire vaccination rates WITHOUT the low education parallel (…although a large percentage of cops are educated; police management positions almost always require a BA or higher), for example. His methods are tiring.

My citing of what groups also have low vaccination rates came after my figures were belittled because they 'came from NYC', and some nice person started instructing others to ignore my stuff (again).

So deal with it. You never win on points.

I thought you understood paraphrasing. But you are pretty good at implied insults & putting yourself above others!

That's a statement based on the group's consensus over MONTHS of trying to have rational dialogue with you. It's a tireless endeavor indeed.

Good thing I have no need to base my dialogue & debating performance on what happens in an off-topic pro-cop car-site thread!

I thought you were out?!?!

P.S. The issue isn't whether or not you're pro-law enforcement; after all, this thread is intended to be an inquiry thread full of varying opinions. The issue is the way you convey and your tendency to be passive aggressive and/or condescending. Nobody is fearful of your opinion. Some, including myself, just choose not to engage you much of the time because of your attitude.

It would seem you've made a name for yourself in quite a few threads. The common denominator is you.

If you are still willing, I'm willing to listen to your answer to problems I addressed in my first & second post of this episode, especially how the police unions can't see it to encourage vaccinations of its members.
I got belittlement & insults instead the first time. Pls read my two posts below & tell me what is so objectionable?

"More than 460 American law enforcement officers have died from Covid infections, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, making the coronavirus by far the most common cause of duty-related deaths in 2020 and 2021. More than four times as many officers have died from Covid-19 as from gunfire in that period."
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/17/u...sultPosition=1

Post #1) "Nonsense. In NYC the cops & firefighters have such low vaccination #s that will just ensure spread. That was before the vaccine mandate. And they don't wear masks in the supermarket.
Just pretend you are in the army & buck up."

Post #2) "Considering that the low vaccine rate is not limited to NYC cops & firefighters, but nationally is killing cops at ~ six times wot guns do, I don't see the prevailing political attitude of NYC being a major factor.
We all indulge our mental flights & fears. Getting over such is one of the battles of life. I really don't understand why police unions would come out against vaccinations. These are people of authority & influence. For some reason they act like their sh!t don't stink."

Ok, I'll bite. Here's the simplest answer that I can provide you:
  1. The unions won't be able to encourage vaccinations because the refusal to vaccinate has nothing to do with them. What I mean is…..people are refusing to vaccinate because of their own personal belief system, BIG government intervention, distrust in BIG government and distrust where THIS PARTICULAR vaccine is concerned (..and the absurd push behind it). A union isn't going to change those fundamental positions.
  2. Police unions understand their purpose, and their purpose IS NOT to push an agenda of any sort. The purpose of a union is to fight for labor rights and to some degree, civil rights.
  3. The deaths by COVID infection do not tell the entire story and I know of many cases [in general] where COVID was penned as the cause, but that person's health condition was conveniently missing from the reference. I do not know of ONE person who died SOLELY because of contracting COVID, which isn't to state those cases don't exist, but they are the outliers.
  4. Choice should always an option!

I hope that clarifies your inquiry.

Yes, that is much better. You just gave us four reasons why policy should not be made by the general police population! The foundations of those points are so weak.

Thank you Clan.

Littlebear why are you so overly concerned with a person's decision to pass on the vaccination? How or why does that impact your life at all? Furthermore, let's talk about the thousands of nurses and doctors willing to lose their jobs over the mandates. Surely they aren't uneducated people, right?!? Surely they are on the front lines, and still, they are wary of this vaccine. Do you ever ask yourself WHY?!?

I read this book a long time ago. It has to do with overcoming the irrational mental fears & mental blocks that hold all of us back. Of course Don Juan used mushrooms to open the mind, but maybe you don't need to.

Many people come into contact with cops & fire fighters, even discounting their maskless supermarket visits.
I ask all the time why lots of nurses (not doctors) don't vaccinate. This is what I meant when I asked if they all belong to the "Leopard Ate My Face" party (look it up).

Stop that, Clan. The info is out there. We elect a government, and then we follow the lawful policies of that government.
In the past some had the choice of living in a lepers colony. When folks can tell me when they started fighting air pollution, I will worry about putting one of the most proven vaccines in history into them. Pollution is pollution, right?
If you don't like the mRNA vaccines, there is always the old J&J type.
