    Ok, so Jeff admitted that he don't know how to do the research.
    It is 2021 and you are not stupid. You know how info works.
    And you probably know, that doing own research is forbidden in NKorea.
    Good day bro.

    Doing research does not mean trading Facebook posts. You can go to FDA site, review vaccine New Drug Application, look through hundreds of pages of raw data, compare protocol and clinical study report. I have written those damn things, I know what is in them. And when people say they are "doing the research" on vaccine that isn't what they mean. Antivax web sites also aren't research.

    Influenza is an upper respiratory illness and there are vaccines against it. There is no cold vaccine because every season is a new strain. And since it is a nuisance but not fatal developing a new vaccine annually isn't high priority.

    Do the research.

    https://katu.com/news/local/oha-nea...s-in-oregon-last-week-were-breakthrough-cases

    These numbers are showing 1 in 4, but they were the first I found and the numbers have been showing pretty consistently 1 in 4 to 1 in 6 cases are breakthrough cases.

    But even if we assume 1 in 4, you're talking 75% fewer people who can pass the disease on. Which has a multiplier effect meaning that only 1 in 16 of those vaccinated people they contact will pass it on (likely fewer, due to less symptoms, shorter timeframe infectious, etc).

    And on and on. That would end the pandemic if everyone were vaccinated.

    This has had the biggest impact on me. The blatant disregard and refusal to accept actual proof among so many Americans has floored me.

    It's climate denial all over again, but even more obvious.

    What's has amazed me is how many people are unable to do a proper risk analysis for their life when it comes to this virus. For me, my primary goal every day is to not die, and I do everything I can each day to make sure thay I get to keep breathing. So it just seem logical to trust math that is basically set at a 3rd grade level.

    It means reading medical journals and data science from around the world. Digging into sources behind claims and listening to a variety of scientists, industry experts, and medical professionals that are not on the evening news.

    You really think most people saying, "I'm doing my own research," are really doing exactly that?

    I think for most people, “doing my own research”, means searching for articles and YouTube videos by “experts” who support their own views on the pandemic, vaccines and medications. While we all like to have our beliefs “verified”, the approach of only accepting as valid those sources that agree with us is the exact opposite of science.

    You have the Constitutional right to keep the hell away from me until you get the shot. I'm not letting you infect me.

    Correct, only those infected with the Trump cult syndrome think otherwise.

    You are dangerous to all of us when you go out in public. I don't give a shit if you are unvaccinated if you live the life of a hermit or in a colony of those who wish to die.

    Yes, that means we get to breathe air that is free of the taint of deadly disease.

    I always get emotional when people are trying to kill me. That's pretty normal behavior.
