Just convinced my 5th Seattleite to not get the vaccine!! What have you done lately? (asbestos, food)

[MechAndy]

I wasn’t for the vaccine at first but I am now.
We have people that are high risk of getting hurt or dying from it in our family.
The vaccine is a good precaution in my opinion.
It will even allow us to open more things like schools and such.
But I don’t preach to others.
If you don’t want it I may not agree with you but it is your right not to get it.
It just will make opening things up a bit harder for the rest of us that hate wearing masks and being able to enjoy a good meal at what ever restaurants that are still in business.

On another note,
I just don’t see the logic of trying to get people not to vaccinate.
Can you tell me what I am missing?

It's about as logical as people saying I shouldn't be a parent because I would allow my kids, who are nearly 15 and 18, to make the choice for themselves to get the vaccine. As if the allowance had any bearing whatsoever on other people's lives. Ironically, it does have a bearing in that they are protecting their direct contacts: classmates, teammates and teachers... yet it's the anonymous internet trolls that could live thousands of miles away that are practically spiting at me through the keyboard. Go figure.

Well it was important enough to him to let us know he is 5ft 11in tall. Likely used his ‘impressive’ height to convince his 5 shepples not to get vax.

Troll thread? No matter. Literally everybody I know has been vaccinated. We all came out fine.

I've lived in Seattle almost a year and a half now, paying all this rent, and still haven't been able to fully enjoy it. Arrived out here at the beginning of 2020, naively planning to go to all these concerts and do the underground tour, take a cruise to Alaska, visit Canada, etc... oops.

I don't care if internet people think I'm a sheeple. Whatever. I just want to be a sheeple in normalcy, watching a band I like, happy with beer in hand. Would be nice if they would help me in this simple goal.

Sincerely,

Sheepless in Seattle

Goodness, there are so many parks and trails. We've been out in local parks since March 2020. We may see 2-6 people in the parks, Spring and early summer 2020 (Perrigo, Redmond Watershed, Coal Creek, Anderson, Bear Creek out in Redmond).

The deaths from the vaccines will be blamed on the unvaccinated who are perfectly healthy. Perfect plan to fool the sheep and drop the world population. All the top vaccine pushers have spoken about being green and soft killing the people for the Earth.

And that would be fine. Sorta fits in with what I think this whole thing is about.

I'm in the same situation with my family too, Andy

And we now know that the vaccine is a precaution - based on factual evidence and the numbers.

It will even allow us to open more things like schools and such.

People who do this are self-righteous ignoramuses that watch Youtube conspiracy channels in their basement.

Sure bud. You sound perfectly rational.

Well clearly you do, since you're posting about it. But good luck with that. Anti-vaxxer reasoning is strongly influenced by confirmation bias, which is unlikely to be influenced by reason, logic, or scientific data. The best bet in this case is to provide real world examples. I gave mine.
