    Nope, that's not the translation. It's that you need to do more research, not less.

    Translation: Keep researching until you find something I agree with.

    Confirmation bias is getting the discussion nowhere.

    All the articles I've read 56% of the population being vaccinated is not herd immunity.

    A 24-year-old Georgia man who contracted COVID-19 and required a double lung transplant, and who remains hospitalized, has expressed his regret he did not get vaccinated for the virus, which has so far killed more than 607,000 Americans.

    Blake Bargatze had told his parents he was putting off receiving a COVID-19 vaccine because he felt uncertain about its possible side effects,

    This guy was the only member of his family to refuse the vaccination and he is going through a horrible ordeal clinging to life...you can read the whole article on Yahoo.....I just cut and pasted the first paragraph....if you want to really do research that matters talk to your local first responders and let them clue you in....

    I read somewhere that it was 73% required for herd immunity...this was early on in the pandemic that it was discussed by Fauci

    Fauci is a communist who wants to destroy the American way of life.

    Do you really think it's a coincidence that Bill Gates is getting a divorce? He and Fauci will be married by the end of the year. Book it!

    Hmm. Well, I don't have to work to find something I agree with. I'm simply telling you what the scientific/medical consensus is.

    Your job is a lot harder, because you need to find something to support your thesis. Thus your evidence is an opinion piece written by a smart guy, a doctor, but not a specialist in this area. And even then, I don't think he'd support your viewpoint entirely.

    So, confirmation bias is at play here, absolutely I agree.

    I'm inclined to believe the experts in the field, who actually read the relevant research (and understand it in detail and in context), unless you give me some reason not to. You haven't done so, as of yet.

    It's easy to say the experts are wrong or they are all in cahoots somehow. It's a lot harder to make a sensible argument for why that should be so.

    Are you saying their numbers are overreported or underreported?

    I keep coming up with an extremely tiny number. Why is that and what does it mean? But, but, but President Trump said only the Devil could make me get a vaccination.

    Rounding off, yes. The actual percentage is over 99.5%.
    He's speaking of scientists who actually are high school science teachers in their day jobs and scientists at night. Wait, public school high school science teachers? No, home schooling science teachers who are self proclaimed scientists. Look they have credentials. They all graduated for the Trump University department of virology who got the very latest high tech. training via cartoons.

    If you don’t get the vaccine you’re going to get us vaccinated people sick with the disease we’ve been vaccinated for. Because the vaccine works.

    The vaccine works around 95% of the time. More than enough to keep the virus from spreading, if enough people get the vaccine. But not enough to be completely safe if there are still lots of people spewing the virus into the air.
