You’re right. Anyone so deeply entrenched in the mindset that the vaccine is so much more dangerous than a virus that has already killed millions of people is completely beyond reason. Why bother?

News flash! ! It’s a shot…NOT a vaccine. A vaccine prevents a person from getting infected. Those getting “vaccinated” are still getting infected. Still CAN and ARE get infected and still carry it and still can spread it. It only lowers your chance of dying and severity of illness.

if y’all are vaccinated, then why are the vaccinated still getting covid???

I have a 12% chance of getting infected and a .2% chance of dying from it.

My body, my choice. End of story

Really? News flash.... no vaccines are 100% effective. This is no different. It significantly lowers your chance of getting infected. Guessing you don’t wear seatbelts because there’s not a 100% chance of them saving your life, right?

I need to give up these kind of threads and just start banging my head against the wall. We’re never going to get rid of Covid with this kind of insanity. But maybe we’ll upgrade the gene pool.

And here you are in post #2,564,78$6 still arguing. Maybe the next one will convince them?

Here's another one to add to the argument in favor, this time from the Atlantic, explaining that in order to spread the infection one must be infected, and that the vaccinated are much less likely to get infected, but if they do there is often much less virus, and it replicates for a much shorter time.

Vaccines aren't like shields that protect the Enterprise from Klingons, but rather a good security force that can fight the Klingons once they've already beamed aboard.

Let's hope the .2% is what you get. Free seniority.

Ok. Which news sources are acceptable going forward? I don't want to post anything that you're going to dismiss out of hand.

Billions of people vaccinated or have received first dose. The more time goes on the more you pu$$ise who are afraid of a shot will look like idiots as time goes on.

They prefer Facebook, Epoch Times, anecdotal stories, etc. Don’t bring up anything involving science, that’s the Devil’s work.

Seriously though, it’s simply a matter of time before it’s a mandatory requirement to travel/operate internationally. That’s fine with me, they can stay on the 75 flying to GRR and FAR. I’ll enjoy the bump in seniority on the WB fleets.
