    Good point. Though I think my point stands.

    If somebody wants to get that discussion going they can do so by backing it up with data.

    Do you have any data to back up that people should have data to back up their discussions?

    No, man, your point doesn't hold.

    There was an information about countries, that happened to be most developed countries in the world, having concerns about vaccines and for you it is "stupid tweet".

    By saying "you are lazy" I am referring to people that are too lazy, not to you personally.
    There are some people here, that are happy to discuss stupid things and keep it quiet, when actual fact appears and I am referring to them.

    Delta variant has 235% higher risk of ICU admission than original virus
    • New variants of SARS-CoV-2 are more virulent and transmissible than the original variant of the virus.
    • Health experts associate these variants of concern (VOCs) with increased risk of hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and death.
    • Vaccination reduces the risks of severe disease and death even with the VOCs.
    • However, even with increased vaccination, control measures are needed to reduce the spread of the VOCs.

    Reading tweets is not "doing research".

    If there is no legit data to back it up its not worth my consideration. You can complain about it all you want, but it's not available in the US, doesn't impact me, and there is no data to associate it with Americans.

    Have fun.

    It's a warning sign that it hasn't gone through any approval investigation. Pending a credible approval, I too would favor discontinuing it's use.

    I know from experience that the Army requires vaccinations against pandemics that can kill hundreds of thousands of people.

    Debate 101, the person making an assertion is responsible for doing the research necessary to back it up.There's a good reason for that, do you know what it is?

    More than twice as virulent? Good thing I got my booster last Thursday and my wife is scheduled for hers at the VA next Wednesday.

    Cant like this enough. Not everything has data that provides credibility to an opinion one way or another.
    If there isn't data, there isnt a problem!!
    It doesn't exist!!

    the internet world! HahahahHa

    because some posters live here and feel the need to correct every opinion on every topic that doesn't fit theirs.
    I prefer to live life! ;)

    Oh come on, this is conjecture. It may not be accurate when you try to read someone's mind unless you check it out with your subject.
