Covid-19

I've never blocked anyone. But...blocking a troll is not being insecure in your position.

It's just...well, blocking a troll.

Haha, you and another poster are the only people I’ve ever blocked and it is for this reason. I occasionally click on your posts from time to time though (like now).

Remember. The definition of a trol is subjective.

See?

False assumption. You are implying that ALL vaccinated can get and transmit the virus which is unlikely true. Here is why.

Would you mind summarizing this link?

Those skeptical of the vax and its effectiveness are just that. There are a lot of things people choose not to do that isn’t labeled as anti something unless people want to dismiss an argument/other views out of hand. Further, saying they are just against something implies they are ignorant and don’t want to do it because of some defect. Anti-insert policy/belief is commonly used in society for Leftist causes: Anti-science, Anti-intellectual, anti-vax, anti-abortion, anti-government, anti-etc.

Basically, it’s a pejorative to make those you disagree with appear stupid, backwards, morally inferior, etc.

Here’s an opposite view that may make sense to you. Those who want vax or mask mandates are anti-freedom, anti-American and needle pushing Fascists.

Meh. That’s a lot of hyperbole and the way you perceive the world. Anti-vax by definition is being against vaccinations. I wasn’t just speaking to covid, I’m speaking to vaccinations as a whole…now if you are just speaking to being against one particular vaccination then I may agree with you. Anything beyond that is just your own shit for lack of a better word.

Ok, so what do you call people who are vaccinated for other viruses but are skeptical of this one at current?

Breakthrough cases probably have a correlation with lower antibody titers. Further, having some immunity likely means more mild case and less risk of hospitalization/complications. It’s not huge robust data but it is an excellent start to show direct correlation.

Also if you’ve had covid and are wondering if you benefit from vaccination this shows you may

Why didn’t they question previous vaccines? Because they were children or because it was the norm. It is recommended that those 65+ get a pneumococcal vaccine. That rate is decreasing because people are starting to question every vaccine when presented with a chance to get it. There’s nothing wrong with questioning it, but there are fallouts now that wouldn’t have occurred before and there will be an increase in these types of diseases in the future.

Conspiracy theorists……I’m half joking

Maybe a better job could be done of explaining the individual risks instead of collective benefits would help? Possibly listening to and not dismissing concerns?
