You just made a great case to why the vaccine is not warranted. Even without all other extraneous circumstances that surround it.

I didn't.

The vaccines have been highly effective in reducing the the spread of COVID-19. But there are also other things that have proven effective too.

It seems, however, that in the USA, that there is always someone protesting against any and every particular method of reducing the threat. They say no to masks, lockdowns, quarantines, they deny the obvious death rate, they won't vaccinate, they get together in crowds (for goodness sake!).

This is the same logic as standing in front of an oncoming speeding locomotive because it is "what nature intended", and "everyone dies eventually".

Of your faith in the vaccines is so unshakable then why the protest over.....protests?

I mean, yall are gonna be a-ok and we'll just die out, yea?

You yourself said that the vaccines efficacy is lacking. So why the push for it?

Social media, big pharma and government all holding hands preaching the same tripe.

Sometimes, people have to do stuff to have that stuff happen.

They can't get money or votes out of dead people. The stupid Qcumber type doom porn is stupid.

Think of it this way; sometimes, when people jump out of planes with a parachute, something goes wrong and the parachute doesn't save them. The solution is not to jump out of a plane without a parachute.

Attributing a counter argument to a marginal conspiracy group is asinine. It doesn't embolden your position in any way.

Why would someone jump without a chute unless they were specifically committing suicide? Furthermore, why would you go to the plane?

Freedumb!

But are you pro, or anti parachute?

Only together will our splat be heard!

Here's a counter question - do you think it is wise for people to congregate, and potentially catch a disease, while protesting against the very thing that will protect them from that disease? Could they not register their concerns in a safer way and perhaps legitimize their cause?

I think.....

You don't need to mandate public health mitigations for an educated public. They can weigh the risks for themselves and be trusted to make rational decisions. -Chr0naut

If you feel that people that don't get the vaccine is therefore putting others at risk then I would argue that the only people it is putting at risk is the others who decided not to get the vaccine and therefore they have already accepted that risk.

No, the vaccines are not perfectly effective. It is all about population numbers and shifting the growth of the spread of the disease to become a decline. At the end of that decline is the situation where the disease no longer poses a threat to anyone.

This would be acceptable if the vaccine was FDA approved and if it actually stopped the spread of the disease, if the vaccine was proven safe, if...
