    Read the data or read what scientists are telling you.

    Exactly, and I would add that most of us aren't even qualified to read the research, much less write it. Reading a scientific paper is not the same as reading a newspaper, they aren't written for 8th graders. Randomly picking up one or two papers in a field you are completely unfamiliar with is likely to result in misunderstandings. Picking up one or two that have been pre-selected for you by people with an ax to grind is likely to result in a failure to understand context.

    If your research has led you to be anti mask, anti vaccine, and pro horse dewormer, you're not good at research.

    Hogwash. You don't need to be an expert to understand the statistics presented in scientific papers. I've worked in software for seven years but I don't know how to program.

    I’m not big into the whole “let’s see how many posts vs likes” a poster has but I think it’s safe to say if you look at Maris’ you can conclude that his 27000 posts are batshit

    At least bats are real. Even if they give you Covid.

    Not sure how your inability to program implies an ability to read scientific papers?

    What part of “underlying conditions” has anything whatsofuckingever to do with politics???? We’re dealing with our own personal realities dude. Unvaccinated idiots are a danger to people like me and Lanny. Why should the stupid have more “rights” and “freedoms” than those with health issues?? My take on the entire COVID clusterfuck has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics and everything to do with the dangers it presents to me personally. And the callous disregard antivaxers (and anti maskers) have for folks like me releases me from any kind of understanding, kindness or respect for those people, because turnabout IS fair play. I can only conclude that the fervor with which too many people here argue against vaccinations is based on the insecurity and intrinsic doubt they have in the strength and validity of their arguments. Jeez, talk about enough straw men to populate an entire city……..and by the way, just in case you (or anyone else) want to build yet another straw man, my own underlying conditions are NOT a result of my lifestyle, so please don’t even try to go there…..

    If politics are a consideration then you are doing it wrong.

    And you wouldn't understand a program if you tried to read it.

    Thanks for proving the point.

    I don't need to know how the code is written to understand how the program works.
