That was what I was hinting at. The data presented in the chart is deceiving and not holistic.
I won't get it and cannot wait for the lawsuits to start when people are "forced" to get a vaccine. Hell, I might file a few myself. F'ing tyrants.
Well... I guess... thank you for sharing your disdain for public health, efforts to stop transmission of an infectious virus causing unprecedented disruption of our lives.
These kinds of posts make me genuinely curious.
Who are the tyrants? Has anyone said you will have to get vaccinated?
Wait a minute...I still like vinyl records, lol. And I recieved my J&J shot yesterday. With absolutly no adverse reactions to this point at all, not even a sore arm. To each their own. I dislike wearing a mask in every business it visit and the airgasm I get when I leave. I just look forward to having non household family members, friends, on the boat for drinks, fireworks and an occasional evening sunset sail. I know, could'a done it last year but was'nt sure of the risk.
There are some situations where vaccines are required - the primary one is school. That said, no school I'm aware of has ever made the flu shot a requirement. But what happens if Covid becomes more deadly and we need booster shots (or variant shots) every year? Do we make it a requirement?
There will be no lawsuits. Part of the accelerated deployment process included blanket immunity for the pharmaceutical companies. That gave me some serious concerns about jumping on the vaccination train. But I am getting dose #2 today, so I guess I got over it. But to each there own. Risk mitigation one way or the other.
100% agree. The dude is awesome!
I lose the train of thought here. Masking is for others, it doesn't protect you, it protects those around you. Vaccination is for you, not for others. If you can still have and carry the virus, and spread the virus, would you rather carry it lightly or heavily? Here's a burden you are very likely to carry at some point, would you rather guarantee it to be a light burden, or risk it being a potentially life threatening burden. I just don't see the downsides when looking at the vaccine objectively from a self risk mitigation standpoint.
100% agree here. Finding good, reliable information is more difficult than it should be. The premise that most news delivery channels aren't there to inform you, but rather there to sell advertisement dollars significantly skews the lenses by which you have to view them. Finding reputable and trustworthy resources is exceptionally difficult. For me, when someone with @swatski or @tabbibus credentials tell me the vaccine is a good idea, I both value and trust that opinion and indirect guidance. That's about as reliable and trustworthy of a source as you can find IMO.
You as well sir. I appreciate the cordial discussion and exchange!
