You wouldnt put it to your temple.
We already know you'd put it to a kids head and squeeze it.

Weird how all those people dying in alabama are unvaccinated. 95% of hospitalizations for covid, unvaccinated. Ooops...
Nobody, at least not me, is saying the vaccine doesn't work. "95% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated" is a really misleading stat though. How many actual people is that, and what is their risk of not surviving their hospitalization? It's extremely, extremely low. Your russian roulette analogy can be applied to literally anything. Life has risks man.

Again, what is your end game? To live in a world with zero covid? That isn't happening. At what point will you, personally, feel comfortable going back to normal?

If the vaccine works, you shouldn't feel threatened by the unvaccinated. If the vaccine doesn't work, you're justified in avoiding other people but you also can't be so rigidly militant about them getting a vaccine that doesn't work.

Dying of covid is bad. Having to permanently close your small business that you spent decades building is also bad. All of life is cost\benefit assessments, and the covid nazis are completely wrong on the issue. They had a point at the very beginning when we didn't know anything about the virus. Now we know a lot about it, and thank god it's not very dangerous. Move on.

If you're a member of a vulnerable group, then yes I think you should get vaccinated. If you're not, I think it's perfectly reasonable to wait a couple years before getting it.

EDIT: And btw I'm basing these opinions on data *from the CDC*, which we are expected to treat as an authoritative organization.

You're right that it's a fairly misleading statistic, as currently 97% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated idiots like yourself (and apparently 99% of Covid-related deaths).

Lol Horza should be happy to know that I promise to not clog up a hospital and just quietly die at home if Covid ever got on top of me bad. From what I’ve read, going to a hospital with severe life threatening symptoms doesn’t do much. Ventilators don’t do much, and hydroxychloroquine is considered too risky for hospital ER’s to prescribe. A lot of the people who come into hospitals with life threatening symptoms die there (obligatory: don’t ban me, consult your doctor, I’m not a doctor)

So at least I can promise I won’t clog up a hospital bed and I’ll just die at home. “What if you pass out and your family calls for you? Then you HAVE to go!”. Well I actually live alone, so unless my cat can figure out how to call 911 u don’t have to worry about it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
