Yes, that was a Mama Cass joke, and I'm driving the bus to Hell.
I must be a passenger on your bus since that was the first thing that popped into my head when I'd read the OP.

And those that do are a miniscule amount no matter how many time you try and make a mountain out of a molehill. It's not relevant to the vast majority.

As for the adverse effect, you simply can't answer that question with any authority (not sure why you even try) . You simply don't know. .no one does.

Wholly Sh-it do I ever understand that. I had covid-19 virus and that damn thing went right for my lungs. I have asthma and that damn covid virus nearly suffocated me to death.

I remembered what happened to all patients when it was stronger two years ago in 2019-2020. They had to be put on respirators. It was hell with all the other things and pain it put me through. I will wear a mask every time I go outside until this thing is finally stopped. I might keep wearing a mast every flu season after that.

The connection between being vaccinated and avoiding serious illness is clear. Look what Trump said:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucele...h=7fec0df7434f

“The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take the vaccine. But it’s still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected.”

So do you disagree with Trump?
The old car and vaccine comparison again? And Trump? Why?

You are right, no one knows, however, I hope they are right as I hate to see that vaccine cause any more adverse effects than it already has. I hope we never have to revisit those types of comments.

so now Trump IS a scientist? I mean, I know you're not a Leftist, but think about this for a minute.

He is missing the most important word - "more protected" or "mostly protected".

Also, I'd be interested in hearing how car wrecks are often random. I can't imagine how many times properly maintained cars, operated by capable and focused drivers, get into car wrecks.

^This.
"gonna end up in the hospital and possibly die" they say.

Regardless, in the minds of many - egged on by "Pandemic of the Unvaxxed" - being unvaxxed = certainty catching Covid and just as nearly certain bad outcome.

They post it day after day after day.

If they want it to be the "Pandemic of the _________" then they need to finally make an honest assessment of who fits in the blank. They've been completely unwilling to admit that answer is "the old, the obese/diabetic, and the immune-compromised"

My cousin died from Covid on the 7th of this month, he was not old, he was not sick, he was not obese, he was not immune-compromised. He was however un-vaccinated.

I remember that. The ultimate in fat-shaming, lying about how you died.
