    Update - the paper that suggested myocarditis was 1 in 1000 has been withdrawn. They made a statistical boo-boo. The corrected number is 1 in 25,000.

    Seriously, how old are you?

    It is same way on both sides. Both sides ignore posts, that don't fit them. This is the biggest problem - choosing war, instead of debate. Both sides are so deep in concrete of their opinions, they would rather spit on other man than listen to him. It's not like this is on covid only, it's on basically everything for years now.

    And, unfortunately, there is another part. Both sides got enough of fat lies. Antivax first motivation (I think) is the fact, that media are corrupted to the bones and government keep lying to them for fucking long time.
    Other side got enough of listening to caveman's talles about reptilians from people that base their brain on YouTube.

    So if there is any opinion, that can change something, it is fast covered with shit.

    I myself, feel like I am balancing on the line for a year now with this stuff. It would be easier for a brain to just choose one side, bc - basically - you don't need to think about it, so your brain is not constantly overloaded like windows 98. I personally, choose to think by myself.
    I found your link interesting, unfortunately, I will have to put it thru my filter and keep in mind, that it could be true, but it could be not.

    Arguing against Covid-19 vaccines is like arguing that 2 + 2 = 5 1/2. It's silly to get into it about such a trivial decision except that it's really serious business.

    What does that have to do with health testing to qualify for major organ transplant?

    Even Steve Jobs didn't qualify most places in the US and had to have it done in Tennessee because the requirements were easier there.

    And he was among the richest men in the world.

    Actually. 2+2 can equal 5.

    2.4 rounded + 2.4 rounded is 4.
    But not rounded is 4.8. Then rounded is 5.
    Even math and numbers can be manipulated.

    I would think you being an engineer would know this. :)

    I was talking about you, not anyone else. There’s no ‘we’ about it.

    Where’s the evidence to support unvaccinated people fueling the pandemic? I get the numbers about them being more at risk for hospitalization, fine, where’s the evidence that they are more likely to spread it? Everything I’ve seen is suggesting the vaccinated are carrying viral loads equal to that of unvaccinated. Your own data suggests the vaccine efficacy wanes after 4-6 months. Then what? All the hypochondria surrounding unvaccinated people literally goes against the science. The argument they may be putting themselves at higher risk is there, but that doesn’t support banishment from society if their chances of carrying and spreading the disease is the same as their vaccinated counterparts. Like I said before, there’s no ‘science’ behind people flip flopping between “I’m protected, your not” and “you’re a danger to me”. They literally, directly contradict each other. And none of that even addresses people’s legitimate concerns about the potential side effects of a new treatment. Why should a young person risk a 1 in 10000 chance of myocarditis when their chances of succumbing to covid are even lower than that?

    A convicted January 6 insurrectionist argued she should get probation rather than jail time because she fears catching Covid in jail. She won't get vaccinated.

    That’s dumb logic. And I know dumb logic - I see it play out with S2 posters everyday!

    wreckless drivers on the road put others’ lives at risk. But Portland just decided to go down to one traffic cop for the whole city.
    Where is the outrage for all the road rage drivers putting others’ lives at risk?

    Here is what statistics show: Reckless driving causes 33% of all deaths involving major car accidents, which are more than 13,000 each year.

    check out the increase in percentage of road ragers in 2020 vs 2021.
    Just gonna get worse with no police presence on the road.
    And no im not for big brother cameras everywhere.

    Well that would make sense in my situation…
    I had the phizer times two.

    Whats crazy is people talking about knowing the long term side effects when there hasn't been a long term time frame to study. But some people speak of long term side effects like its a fact and has been proven already.
    Crazy crazy logic.
    Or just bullying others to be like them based on an underlying political narrative with no true knowledge of long term side effects?

    We've gone over all of those points with you multiple times, you obviously aren't reading the responses to your posts.

    Road rage and reckless driving are not the same things, at all.

    "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations," Biden said. I agree he's a nobody.
