Tzaphkiel rather than arguing the minutae of covid statistics which you are I know will come to nothing, perhaps you could share your reasoning for not wanting to have the vaccine as you stated the reasons are numerous in post #3440
The poster you are addressing has a long history of not responding to questions, as evidenced above.
Shown below are examples of demonizing and otherizing.
where others are called "truly evil" with "rancor and disdain and castigation"
where your own views matter, but other views do not
"their many and varied reasons are totally irrelevant"

If you or others on this thread are unaware of the numerous reasons people have, which appears to be the case, then maybe start a thread on that and learn something. But that might require (gasp) actually considering and acknowledging other viewpoints. That does not appear to be a strong suit in this thread.
I'm interested in YOUR viewpoint.
I'm not interested in random conspiracy theories floating about the internet.
You brought it up. So fill me in.
If your are going to make a statement then defend it.

Oh grow up. If one of the reasons an anti-vaxer caused my wife to get Covid and die, I wouldn't give a rat's behind what their GD reason was. Your virtue signaling BS is tedious and annoying.

Taking the Lord's name in vain really drives the point home.

views are discussed on CD, not individual people.
start a thread if you are actually interested. to discuss the topic and views.
it would be a good discussion, many would be interested in reading and participating.
perhaps from the view of "why isn't the vaccine mandatory" or "why aren't vaccines mandatory" or "why aren't there laws requiring vaccine"
have you given much thought to those?

How convenient.
YOU are the one who got personal, defensive and accusatory when Mystic made a generalized statement NOT directed at you but at those putting others in danger; you wrote multiple posts about it, and then when I ask you to tell us what your issues with it are, you clam up and refuse to discuss it and tell me to go away and start a thread on it.
I've asked YOU what your views are. That would be participation.
Any reason you are unwilling to share your views?
I'm happy to share mine.

Not really, but it releases some adrenal stimulation to frustratingly idealistic virtue signaling nonsense. I suspect your OCD about criticizing others' postings serves a similar purpose.

But each of us posts OUR views on the subject, except you. You apparently see your participation as criticizing everyone's posted views and hiding your own. Discussion forums are for exchanging our views but you seem not to want to participate that way. Why is that?

here's the thing. if someone has an anger problem, for instance, and has a litany of all the things that "make them angry" and blames all those things for "making them angry"
the problem is not "all those things."
the problem is the person has an anger problem, and does not take responsibility for dealing with the anger problem that originates within them and is owned by them and is wholly and completely theirs.
