    Did @crandc actually read @HailBlazers post that has a link to the article embedded in it?

    if your post was genuine, then i apologize.

    Ive come to pretty much assume there is an underlying theme based on history. when you agreed with me i figured it as passive aggressive…

    Im not playing mockery games anymore, so if you are being standup, ill take your word for it.

    Lather, rinse, repeat. I feel like this question has been posed and answered in much the same way at least 20 times so far in here. The answer clearly isn't being viewed or understood if the question keeps on popping up.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Certain people are just desperate to find an angle where they can feel that their anti-vaccine stance (or "both sides have good points" stance) is both justified and rational. Regardless of facts and rationality, they're going to stick with their stance--but they'd feel better if they can also have a reason or statistic with which to own those smug "libs" who seem determined to snatch the rationality high ground.

    Two sides of the same coin: "I'm just asking questions" and "I'm not listening to answers".

    Thanks for posting that. But it doesn't dispute the post you quoted.

    It doesn't dispute that 85% of people would likely end the pandemic. Nobody ever claimed it would for sure stop all spread or be eradicated once we reached herd immunity.

    It would simply cease being a pandemic. It would cease being an epidemic. We could go back to life as normal. Hospitals would no longer be overrun. Doctors and nurses would no longer need to be overworked due to COVID-19.

    No, actually not. Not even close.

    Not that the virus cares about red and blue anyway.

    The NY Times are as blue or red as the establishment needs them to be, depending on the situation.
