When you have a group of 108 million people who all do something, it's inevitable that some will die within 48 hours. Take 108 million people who ate a carrot. Or who called their uncle. Or who hung a picture on a wall. Or who went to Walmart. Or who parked crooked in the driveway. Or who opened a window. Chances are 100% that some will die within the next two days simply because of the number of people we're talking about.

So yes, I am all for informed choices. I'm at exponentially greater risk driving my car to the pharmacy to get my vaccine than I am getting the shot itself.
I'll still drive there, though.
And you are also at exponentially greater risk driving than you are of dying from covid with a 97 - 99% recovery rate depending on who's figures you look at.

The opposite of selfish is selfless.

You say that not getting vaccinated is selfish. Does that mean those who did are selfless? They got the vaccine with no consideration for themselves in mind? I don't believe that.

My daughter is a VAERS death ID. Her death was not "baloney". She was not baloney, she was a beautiful little baby with chubby cheeks, dark hair & blue eyes. She never woke up again, after the first time she fell asleep after being vaccinated.

As much as I hate vaccines I have never been the one to come on these threads & call the lives lost to covid; "baloney".

There are about 38,000 car accident fatalities each year. How many COVID deaths were there, again? Do you think that over one to three percent of people die in car accidents each year?

Maybe the issue among those confused about the dangers of the virus and the dangers of the vaccine is not a lack of scientific understanding but math illiteracy?

And 500,000 was a small percentage of 325,000,000.

Exactly. This is too many people’s MO’s in this forum. They just drop these bombs of lies and never return. Not only is it lying, it’s immoral and unethical as this false information will be taken as truth by someone who will be influenced to make poor health decisions as well passing on the disinformation to others, indirectly leading to more death and suffering.

And, to the bold -- about 30% of people who who are infected don't have any symptoms at all -- so you are almost certainly incorrect will you say they "will" get flu-like symptoms.

https://hartfordhealthcare.org/about...6&publicId=395

(This has been very well documented for months, so I am surprised that you don't know this.)

P.S. I also think it is premature to say at this point "eventually you will get infected". Maybe that will prove to be true, but I don't think that everyone will be infected as they might die from other causes before then -- and who knows what further tests into some people having some kind of natural (genetic) immunity might reveal?
That’s why we wear seatbelts in cars, go to the doctor for regular preventative care and screenings, and avoid interacting or engaging with crazy people. Those actions all mitigate risk, just like vaccines.

I guess you missed the link in the OP? It's sourced. Check it out. I thought that was the topic of discussion. It'd be nice if you'd come prepared.

You're this --><-- close to getting blocked. You never, ever add any value to a discussion, other than entertainment value. Even that's wearing thin, though.

We are NOT talking about how many on the left, including YOU follow this to a T on whatever the alphabet TV and liberal papers like teh ny slime, wash, post etc, Yes, since somebody told you that, it must be true.

Unlike YOU I actually KNOW people who work in the field and they KNOW FIRST HAND what is going on at where they work

You are NOT there, yet because it does NOT fit your bias, you want to ACT like you know what is going on. Being you made the claim, You MUST KNOW the 2 place they work.

You MUST KNOW because you say it is not true and you have 1st hand knowledge.

PROVIDE IT!

"Put up or SHUT up", as they say.
