      I guess whatever it takes to convince the skeptics. Though I figure nothing will convince them once they’ve made up their mind.

        I don’t like calling them “skeptics,” because what they really are is super-gullible with regards to conspiracy theories.

            Step 1. Ask what someone thinks about vaccinations Step 2. Ask them what they think about evolution Step 3. Ask about climate change Step 4. Ask about what church they go to

            You will learn so much of this overlaps. So much.

              Flat earth. Crystals. Cupping.

              Anything to avoid the reality that we’re fucking up society and the planet in favour of ‘we can fix it with woo’ or ‘it’s preordained that we’re all gonna die in god’s wrath-fire’. Neither will lift a finger to fix things.

              Nobody wants to live in reality because it’s scary.

      Obviously people misunderstood. I’m very much pro vaccine - fully vaccinated and triple boosted.

      I was making reference to the fact that anti-vaxxers were citing comorbidities in regards to COVID deaths to downplay the numbers while refusing to do so for deaths shortly after vaccination. This was especially galling in light of the fact that the first groups vaccinated were the most vulnerable: the elderly.

    Genuinely impressive how a vaccine made under the conditions and time constraints COVID faced is so effective.

      Come ON! This doesn’t say the vaccine - which one? - is effective but would have low adverse effects.

      Not astonished that you put people against this experimental product in the case of anti-vax despite them being vaccinated for other stuff.

    Those are the official numbers, but I’ve heard time and time again from people with vaccine damages, that they have to basically force their doctors to even report their symptoms, so I have my doubts how accurate it is.

    I dunno, I got another shot last month and I developed super powers. I flew too close to the sun and caught on fire. I blame the shot. /s
