Not sure why the OP would want to be invited over to see someone who doesn't respect your right to make your own medical decisions.

Of course I don't know the OP's story and I find the whole vaccines cause autism to be BS but I gather a lot of pro vax people are just as unreasonable as the bad anti vaxxers.

Hopefully that word almost is in reference to me or people like me.
Except nobody said anything about a mandate.

To be fair, they think they know better than others and want everyone to do as they do.

Except there’s no assumption that everyone is like them, however, they want folks to be like them.

A major reason we want everyone immune to Covid 19 in the world is to help reduce the viral pool size. The more active virus out there, the more apt over time we will find mutations that are either more virulent, or can bypass our current vaccines.

Isn’t there a thread in this board that vaccine-hater Ted Nugent came down with Covid.

There is no proof it prevents death and hospitalization. Its been out how long now? An emergency, basically experimental vaccine that the developers and "experts" dont know anything definitive about yet except maybe it lessens the symptoms. They tell the public that they dont even know if it prevents one from getting the virus or spreading the virus thus it is necessary to continue masking and distancing. They dont know how long the immunity last, if one is even immune, how many vaccines are required. There have even been such issues with some of the vaccines they are "resting" them.
Now you declare to us that this vaccine prevents death and hospitalization. Care to post a link to your paper from the extensive studies you have conducted proving your hypothesis?

We are going to never reach herd immunity and have some Covid restrictions permanently likely, since the fundamentalist Christians refuse to get the vaccine, believing it to be at worst the mark of the beast but at least extreme government overreach.

Weird thing is, Southern Baptists have never been strongly anti-vax until Covid. Why now?

I honestly believe Nugent thinks THAT'S where the "19" comes from.

Because he's a stupid, stupid man.

Because Trump put that thought in their heads.
