Cooking food doesn't fully stop all ecoli and all samonella, so we shouldn't eat.
Water purification doesn't fully remove all arsenic, so we shouldn't drink.
Cooking food doesn't fully stop all ecoli and all samonella, so we shouldn't eat.Without arguing the details, I for one am totally open to doing ANYTHING that helps keep me and my family safe. It may not be perfect, but to do nothing is asinine. I am not saying you are arguing against it, but this sort of black and white thinking is what keeps people form doing anything.
I never, NEVER said "don't get a booster". My problem is with "forcing" others, especially based on false premises.Without arguing the details, I for one am totally open to doing ANYTHING that helps keep me and my family safe.

Masks aren't perfect-don't wear masks at all.
Vaccine isn't perfect - don't get vaccinated.
Omicron is not totally stopped even with a booster - don't get a booster.
Without masks and vaccines, things would be infinitely worse, yet there are millions of people who would do nothing because it doesn'1t fix everything perfectly. Conservative brains are broken.
You're welcome keep getting booster for the rest of your life but i am done.And maybe if everyone got a shot every 2 months we can stomp out this virus in half a year. It’s just being prolonged because of stubborn people refusing their first shot and now the people refusing to get a booster
But you are okay with forcing us to catch a potentially deadly disease from you?My problem is with "forcing" others, especially based on false premises.
No one is forcing you to do anything. You can stay at home, isolate yourself for the rest of your life. The choice is yours to make.But you are okay with forcing us to catch a potentially deadly disease from you?
So you are forcing me to stay home to be safe from you?No one is forcing you to do anything. You can stay at home, isolate yourself for the rest of your life. The choice is yours to make.
Ahhh yes, all the people who have caught covid wanted to get it. That's exactly how it works.No one is forcing you to do anything. You can stay at home, isolate yourself for the rest of your life. The choice is yours to make.
That is your choice to make. Your other choice is to wear biohazard suit level A. That way you almost certainly not get infected. What you do is your decision to make as that is your choice.So you are forcing me to stay home to be safe from you?
Twist the wording all you want, but in effect you are forcing people to either die or be imprisoned.
You can make the decision to get boosted or stay home. Then we don't have to force anything. You are the only one choosing to be forced.That is your choice to make. Your other choice is to wear biohazard suit level A. That way you almost certainly not get infected. What you do is your decision to make as that is your choice.
My body my choice. I am done getting vaccinated, i am perfectly fine with my decision.You can make the decision to get boosted. Then we don't have to force anything. You are the only one choosing to be forced.
Then please stay home, that is your choice not to be involved with society.My body my choice. I am done getting vaccinated, i am perfectly fine with my decision.
Wow, how do you even put those two quotes into the same conversation? Ultimately, I think the issue is that you are thinking in absolutes: things work or they don't work. You should be thinking in terms of likelihood of adverse effects. Some things work pretty darn well. Are they perfect in all possible cases? No, but they still work for the vast majority of cases and thus are worthwhile tools. If perfection is your only possible acceptable choice, then why bother to do anything at all as there is no perfect protection for life?
That is not going to happen. At least here in US we have something called freedom and i will exercise it.Then please stay home, that is your choice not to be involved with society.
But the rest of us do not have the freedom to be safe? I see that you are not about freedom at all, you are about selfishness.That is not going to happen. At least here in US we have something called freedom and i will exercise it.
Pulling numbers out of your ass is not my definition of reasonable.Those MIT lectures are not your typical Youtube videos my friend. There's a LOT of great information to be gotten which used to take a college degree to attain.
I brought in Omicron because we were talking about with IT the protection against infection with the current vaccines is SO low, that it does not materially prevent further transmission through the population. Of course it is great possible news that it might be less deadly, but the fact remains that the "knights of morality" out there are insinuating that unless virtually everyone gets vaccinated, this will go on forever and that's just not true.
Now as far as breakthrough infections go: the article states that between April and November there were 1.8 million breakthrough infections. These were POSITIVE TESTS! We know that even with Delta, the vaccine protection against severe disease is quite high, so there HAVE to be many more that WERE positive but did not get tested. I don't think 10 million is unreasonable....
But you are okay with forcing us to catch a potentially deadly disease from you?
Each person needs to take whatever measures they feel they need to make to keep themselves and other safe. Don't expect anyone else to keep you safe.But the rest of us do not have the freedom to be safe? I see that you are not about freedom at all, you are about selfishness.
And THAT right there shows exactly how ridiculous YOU guys are acting. We're not in grade school anymore guys, this is preposterous.No one is forcing you to do anything. You can stay at home, isolate yourself for the rest of your life. The choice is yours to make.
"My ass"? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Did you follow the links? Is ABC News now fake news?Pulling numbers out of your ass is not my definition of reasonable.
It is a numbers game, like I posted to you above. Black and white is not the way to look at it.Becasue you cant catch COVID from a vaxxed person, right?
You're welcome keep getting booster for the rest of your life but i am done.
This is EXACTLY the fascist playbook, safety above EVERYTHING. Fact is, life is dangerous; we must COLLECTIVELY agree on what's reasonable and what isn't. Fact is, NOBODY is 100% "safe" and nothing is more dangerous than doing everything possible to get from 99.4% to 99.9%.But the rest of us do not have the freedom to be safe? I see that you are not about freedom at all, you are about selfishness.
It is a numbers game, like I posted to you above. Black and white is not the way to look at it.
Suppose I am vaxxed and am 80% protected. But now suppose the people I deal with are vaxxed and are also 80% protected. Now my protection goes up to 1-(1-0.8)^2 = 96%. Now suppose the people they were exposed to were vaxxed, then my protection becomes 1-(1-0.8)^3 = 99.2%. Etc. The more that are vaxxed, the more likely that it becomes impossible to catch it.
Yes it's a number game but what you don't understand is that it do not last long. The reality is that booster last around 2-3 months at most and then you would need another one. There is a reason why some countries now recommending booster after 3 months.It is a numbers game, like I posted to you above. Black and white is not the way to look at it.

You don’t have to stay home, but society doesn’t have to let you in most venues either.That is not going to happen. At least here in US we have something called freedom and i will exercise it.
