I see good old Joe has put in an order to mandate vaccination through companies. If a company has more than 100 employees, they will either have to do weekly testing (which is not cheap) or force vaccinate their employees. I am wondering how this will affect black communities and black Americans. In the US currently, black folks are the least vaccinated. I had to get vaccinated because I work at a hospital but to think you will have to get vaccinated to work at McDonald's seems ridiculous to me. I understand those who work in hospitals or are in the military being vaxed but outside of this, it makes no damn sense to me.

How do you think this will affect black Americans if this thing holds up and goes through?

I don't see it causing any issues. We all knew this was going to happen. I've heard about this for months now, with private companies already making it a requirement to go back to work, or to travel, or to go anywhere.

Honestly, I'm for it. The rate we're going with this pandemic, it seems we're going backwards. The vaccine seems to be working, it's just that people are too stubborn to get it. People have this irrational fear that it will kill them, or they will get sick. We've had countless vaccines in this country, and not one of them has caused mass deaths or major problems. On top of that, the ones who aren't vaccinated, are still going out, without masks, not social distancing, etc. In turn keeping this damn virus around for longer.

I got the vaccine because I was tired of waiting to go out, and I was tired of wearing a mask all the damn time. I think we hear too much BS about the vaccine on social media, and we run with it thinking it's the truth, but there are so many conspiracy theories out there about the vaccine, that if anything, it kinda pushed me to finally get it. Just look at comment sections of social media, everyone thinks they're an expert. I go off of what doctors say, not what some Karens say on social media.

You shouldn't be afraid to get the vaccine, it takes no time to do it, and will save you time from having to deal with the inevitable requirement that's coming down the road. Plus you can do stuff again.

If you get a full body rash after the shot its recommended you go straight to the ER.

It ain’t the end of the world according to this:

According to the CDC, people with itchy rashes may consider taking antihistamines, while painful rashes can be relieved by over-the-counter pain medications, such as Tylenol or Advil.

If you develop a post-vaccine rash that persists or is particularly uncomfortable, Freeman suggested reaching out to a dermatologist, who can help ease discomfort and speed recovery.

    Good thing this was not the case and they stopped pushing the vaccines on people but they still held millions hostage and the more information that comes out about these vaccines, the more I worry. We learned they didn't make a damn difference in terms of preventing covid. I feel sick knowing I had to get the first 2 or lose my job.

    I am hearing more and more about people ending up with issues either a few days or weeks after, or months after. It seems the most severe things (blood clots and strokes) are coming when you get those boosters. I am starting to think this was either intentional or because they were rushing and greedy, they didn't bother testing stuff the right way.

    It is by design. Just like when we were born, we got the injections that made us ill & die, while others received different doses.
    WS has been trying to eliminate us from day one & WE'VE BETTER RECOGNIZE & ACT ACCORDINGLY!

    Most people getting sick and dying seem to be white people though. A lot of black people did not get it. Africa kind of just ignored the entire thing and have the lowest death rates pre and post vaccine.

    I think it is a population control agenda from those crazy white people at the top. They aren't just targeting blacks anymore, they want to reduce the populations of everyone so they can hoard the wealth, the resources, and the land.

    A friend at work was joking around saying they are probably aliens needing to make space for their other lizard people to join earth. lol

    Africa did, until white so called physicians were sent to infect them with that 💩, because Africans weren't affected by it.
