Almost every adult I know is vaccinated (and I know people from all walks of life & political persuasions), so I don't think that many people are against it. A small minority against it, with another group of people who are supportive but hesitant about getting it at this time.
The sentences I quoted from you were the only few sentences on that topic that you wrote in that post. I definitely did not cherry pick. I quoted you exactly (and completely) and responded to what you wrote. Maybe not what you were thinking, but what you wrote. If you don't like someone responding to what you write, then you should be more careful about what you write, so that it better mirrors your thoughts.
Similar experience in my family. My uncle's first bout nearly killed him physically. His second bout was much milder physically, but pretty much destroyed his mind. He's finally coming out of it months later, and STILL refuses to get vaccinated
Same! I want to know so badly, but won't ask. I also wonder why they aren't concerned about their iphones garnering the same data. But two of them are also against getting tested for Covid, so even I felt it was my place to ask, I don't imagine it would be a conversation I could have seriously. Thankfully these aren't people close to me.
They won’t even get tested? I haven’t run into that yet. Wow!
That thread wasn’t closed. It’s fallen to page 7 most likely because everyone who was participating in it has been vaccinated. It was never a “will you or won’t you” thread. It was about side effects and informing each other on what to expect. Thankfully that one never went sideways because it was a very helpful thread.
Most other vaccine threads have been closed due to the misinformation being posted.
Where do you live? I completely understand it's state dependent, but there are many states that DO require proof for public school. And some who even have eliminated all/almost all of their exemptions. CA is one of them - only medical exemptions are allowed and even those have very stringent guidelines to be accepted. And all 50 states have legislation that requires proof of certain vaccinations.
I have never ever heard of colleges or universities requiring vaccinations, that is news to me. When I went to college I was never asked to prove I had been vaccinated. In the province I am in specifically, it is not required for kids to attend school of any kind and I have never travelled to a country that requires my vaccine record. 
Sorry, but I feel like "common sense manners and decorum" goes out the window when it's a matter of a public health crisis. Sort of like Disney's Four Keys. Courtesy is absolutely one of them. But they go in order: Safety, Courtesy, Show, and Efficiency. If there's a Safety issue, addressing it is imperative even at the expense of the other three Keys. If I would like to spend time with you (or have you as a customer at my business, or whatever), I'm going to ask your vaccination status. Because public safety is more important to me than "decorum."
