Canadian ice cream company Chapman's started giving vaccinated workers a pay raise of 1 Canadian dollar an hour ($0.78) last week.

Ashley Chapman, vice-president and owner of the Ontario-based company, told CBC Radio that the external reaction to the policy was "very, very aggressive" and that he'd been sent "hate packages" in the mail.

He said that his 78-year-old father got a voicemail "telling him he was like Hitler, and obviously a Nazi, and we should be convicted of war crimes, essentially."

Chapman told CBC that before introducing the pay raise he had been paying for unvaccinated staff to get two COVID-19 tests a week, which he said cost around 40 Canadian dollars ($31.35) per person.

Quite the sense of entitlement there for a company they don't even work at.

1. Covid will weed out the ignorant and arrogant and stupid

This whole idea of mandates being Hitleresque is insane.

3. It's not insane, but only if a person is addicted to binary thinking

Not even freedoms are absolute. Nothing is absolute, except perhaps mathematics.

The all-or-nothing fallacy is very common among Rs and especially Qs. It is very appealing to emotional thinkers because it is simplistic. Rs say "We don't do nuance."

Vaccine mandates are a necessary small infringement on freedoms just like seatbelts and laws against parking in front of fire hydrants.

5. it's like the old story about an assault case

the one where the judge told the defendant, "your right to stretch your arms ends where the other guy's nose begins."

9. Agreed. Very selfish, binary thinkers.

10. Mathematics isn't absolute either. See the Continuum Hypothesis, Godel's incompleteness theorem.

Tl;dr is current set theory axioms make it impossible to prove the continuum hypothesis is false and it can’t be proven true! Provably unsolvable! Set theory needs to be expanded upon to prove it! It is consistent with set theory axioms which does not suffice for its truth. The usual axioms of set theory do allow most of math as we know it to work though.

11. Math is absolute. If something is provably unprovable, then it is absolutely unprovable. . . . nt

12. It was very surprising that some things can't be proven true or false.

Moreover, it is impossible to come up with axioms for which all statements can be proven true or false.

I’m taking absoluteness to mean a statement is either true or false. A third possibility is mind

4. Yep.

I had the great displeasure of listening to a statehouse hearing the other day on vaccine mandates and mask requirements. Some clown got up and said that the vaccine violated the Nuremberg Protocols.

COVID is the latest corollary to Godwin’s Law, apparently.

6. Good for Chapmans! I have given up trying to understand rude people.
