What is up with both sides presenting Iceland as a model? It’s a country about the size of Connecticut, and with a fraction of the U S population.
Here is a link about vaccination mandates in the U S:
It appears most E O to vaccinate pertain to government employees and health care workers whose venues receive federal funding from Medicare & Medicaid. It’s the ol’ we’re paying for something, these are our terms.
Those providers who accept neither Medicare nor Medicaid funding, more numerous in some areas than others, don’t appear to be covered. That veterinary clinic that’s cash pay?
Well, my old familiar is still operating his clinic with call when you arrive, no waiting room, mask mandate, but the one at closer to home Petsmart appears a bit more relaxed.
As for myocarditis? Iceland is a white majority, if not exclusively white, part of the world, and vaccination caused myocarditis appears primarily in young, white men for reasons unknown.
It’s a smaller percentage of myocarditis cases than classic myocarditis, and recovery tends to be quicker than from classic myocarditis:
Iceland as a country would be more affected by vaccination induced myocarditis than a country with a more varied population as the U S, and it’s interesting the Moderna vaccination has shown this effect but not the Pfizer.
I’d rather suffer whatever side effects of a vaccination there are than any particular illness it’s designed to prevent, although I do understand those who cannot receive COVID-19 vaccination due to health reasons and those who opt out of Heptovax B and HPV vaccinations. The spread of those is bloodborne & sexually transmitted, definitely not the same as being coughed on in an elevator.
