The vaccines are safe and effective.
There's no evidence that says anything different.

I don't think anything could happen ever that would justify a government coercing/mandating medical treatments on a whole population. it is just flat out wrong. that is the kind of shit the nazis were doing to the jews back in the day
The Nazis literally labeled the jews as disease carriers, claimed they were responsible for the spread of typhus. They tried to convince people they needed to cleanse the world of jews to cleanse and protect the population from disease. they often used propaganda like this against their political opponents. Have you ever researched history?

that analogy is wasted because its completely different. alcohol and cars has nothing to do with this. stretched too farPhDhawk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:14 amSober drivers cause accidents, so there's no reason not to drink and drive.randylahey wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:11 am and the democrats are using the same tactics by trying to label "the unvaccinated" as the disease spreaders. when we know for a fact anyone with covid can spread the virus. vaccinated or not. most people at any given time do not actively have covid. their and negatives that make the vaccinated more likely to spread it in some ways, like being less symptomatic and not realizing they have it, or being more likely to attend big events with lots of people
That logic is idiotic.
One behavior is wreckless, the other isn't perfect, but it's significantly better and comes with essentially no downside.
I got the shot. so that destroys this argument too. I am vaccinated and support other people doing so if they choose toPhDhawk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:12 am I've never mentioned politics. I've never advocated govt mandates.
I post data. The data says the vaccine is safe and effective. Everyone should get vaccinated. That's what the evidence shows.
If you were truly open minded, you'd have come to that conclusion. It's inarguable.
You let politics and emotion and fear take over. You ignore data. Don't understand numbers. So you're digging your heals in.
Scared wimps like you who are afraid of needles are why we're here. You tell yourself you're being Patrick Henry when really you're just being a dumb scared baby pretending you're standing up to authority when in reality you're just fighting against a safe and effective preventative vaccine
Not for me.
Fixed your last sentence.
you continue to try to use analogies, they just don't fit. analogies don't explain a complicated blend of vaccine/virus/politics/mandates/rights. there is so much more intermixed than an analogy about a surgeon washing their hands or a smoke detector. doesn't translate. Ive said myself vaccines reduces the risk of getting this virus, have not ignored it.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:22 am Use illys analogy of the smoke detector then.
The analogy doesn't matter. You ignore that vaccinated people have a reduced rate of getting the virus, if they do get it they transmit it at a lower rate, they have reduced severity, and are less likely to die.
It's the right move acting selflessly and acting out of self interest.
Infections still happen after some surgeries, should surgeons go back to not washing their hands?
except the fact that i am vaccinated and support other people doing so. and I support people making the choice not to as well. its their choice. clearly not antivax. you have no argument
It's not as complicated as you're trying to make it. The vaccine is safe and effective the virus is bad.randylahey wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:27 amyou continue to try to use analogies, they just don't fit. analogies don't explain a complicated blend of vaccine/virus/politics/mandates/rights. there is so much more intermixed than an analogy about a surgeon washing their hands or a smoke detector. doesn't translate.

BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE IT NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE. people must always have a right to their own medical decisions
You're posting record says otherwise.randylahey wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:33 am What you are claiming about me (a vaccinated person who is for people's right to decide if they want to get vaccinated) is that i am anti-vax.
That is the equivalent of you accusing someone who is pro choice in regards to abortion
of being anti-baby and not wanting any babies to be born.
once again. you have no argument
