    Not really. And I don't really care to engage in discourse with a "sleepwalker", civil or not. Strenuus summed up my thoughts perfectly:

    Exactly. How they work, the purpose/intent, the history of how they work and how they've helped us essentially eradicate other illnesses.

    At this point, the only few I people know or have met that are against the vaccine - the only possible way they have or will change their minds is by catching COVID. I don't care to change opinions on the matter - everyone is entitled to their wrong opinions. No point in otherwise having a back-and-forth. I'm okay with people having the right to choose, as long as they are willing to accept any consequences that come their way (including losing employment). Seen it play out in so many forums. Best to agree to disagree and wish the unvaxx'd "good luck"./

    if a country stopped giving vaccines for a certain group of their people is that not worthy news?

    how is that trolling?

    its only okay to discuss the side you agree with?If someone wants to discuss the other side its trolling??

    sigh…..

    They use an inactivated/weakend virus to produce immunity to said virus, oh wait that's the old definition.

    Everyone needs to do their own due diligence and make their own decision based on their own lifestyle. I travel alot, am in crowds and out frequently, and have lived a semi-normal life given the circumstances. Of course, I'll take the vaccine.

    your tweet from "disclose.tv" is hardly due diligence.

    Are you really spinning what you're doing in this thread as some act of virtue?

    And you still haven't addressed the hypocrisy of wanting a vaccine before you're eligible while still espousing and expressing supposed doubt about its safety.

    Lol. Right?

    You have a right to choose. But you get the consequences for those choices, and you're not gonna get sympathy when you don't listen to the same doctors and scientists who may have to save your life because of your choice.

    I choose to live my life by common sense and science. Funny enough, even though covid will hopefully be eradicated soon, it seems common sense took a hell of a blow, too.

    Anyway, way off topic. Back to basketball.

    No, not some sort of virtue. But its interesting news, and its good to publicize if the vaccine has issues/problems. Or if people are getting sick when vaccinated.

    I haven't taken the booster yet. I mean, I probably can walk into somewhere and get one, but I haven't as of yet. I've surveyed my doctor friends, they haven't gotten their boosters yet (they had Moderna). I talk to them and see what their on the ground experiences are.

    Regular testing alone isn't bad if you can't be vaccinated.

    But regular testing of people who could be vaccinated is bad because it's wasteful and far more work.

    Vaccination is automatic. Once done you don't forget to do it. You offer yourself and everyone around you additional protection. That testing can't.

    And frequent testing doesn't stop you from dying of covid-19 in overrun ICUs. Because not enough people will test often enough anyway.

    So yeah, testing is great. Coupled with vaccination.

    You're posting clips of Alex Jones, protestors who think were becoming a communist country due to a vaccine mandate for some teachers, and tweets from "James Lindsay, the original CCP 16:19 Project". You can post what you want, but gimme break with this shit.

    The Alex Jones one is funny. He's entertaining.

    The protestors for vaxx mandates? Its current news.

    Dunno who this James Lindsay bro is. You'd have to pull up that tweet.
