johngould21 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 We just canceled our Hawaiian vacation for the second year in a row. Too much risk, and too many Mainlanders heading to the Islands that aren't vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just playing the devils advocate and trying to show the other side of the argument. People have the right to refuse and still carry on living life. man, you really don't appreciate what had to happen for you to be safe. Its actually stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're just putting words in my mouth.. I never said anything about being ungrateful for getting a vaccine all I stated was stop bullying or pressuring people to get it if they don't want it.. They are not stupid or nut bags it is their body their choice.. I also said if I had a choice I wouldn't have. It is like many other things in this world like being LGTBQ+ you may approve or not but at the end the person makes their personal decision same with the vac. Open mind please..

KoreanHockeyFan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 96% of COVID-19 cases are among those not fully vaccinated, B.C. health officials say https://globalnews.ca/news/8056167/new-covid-cases-not-fully-vaccinated/ “If you take all the cases from June 15 to July 15, 78 per cent of those cases are among those who are unvaccinated,” Adrian Dix said. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And likely close to 100% of hospitalizations are not fully vaccinated. It’s so obvious that people, who refuse vaccination, are kind of dumbos.

Peer reviewers generally speaking are required (by the nature of the work they do) to have no interest in the subject matter of the papers they review. edit - and by interest, I mean they are experts in the field, but aren't involved in the subject matter of the research... not that they dgaf about the subject matter I was not referring to the science aspect of vaccines or peer-reviewed published journals. I was referring to the notion that vaccines are the ONLY choice when science has demonstrated to not be the case. When it is supposedly a choice in the western world to get one but the propaganda and pressure forces people to get one. I want accountability by our politicians to either make a law you have to get one or stop wasting our time and tell people you have a choice...

That's the part that I take issue with of your post. For context, your previous post: I am saying Provaxxers can be all that too.. Believing everything big Pharma tells them or the government. I will say this let the person decide end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgom Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 At this point, anti-vaccine people are arguing for their own death. There are two ways forwards from this point in rich countries where there have been strong mRNA vaccine drives. Everyone gets vaccinated, or only 80% get the shot and the last 20% just die. I'm not being dramatic. The virus will cling on vaccinated people, losing against their immune system, and latch onto the unprotected ones and just destroy them because there is no resistance in the body. The problem is these anti-vaccine people want to protect their health by essentially signing their own death warrant, convinced the side effects from the shot will be much worse than what they consider to still be "just a flu." Playing "devils advocate" for the anti-vaccine crowd is basically arguing that it's their right to be misinformed and kill themselves from ignorance. These people were lied to and tricked by con men and social media, they deserve to be protected against themselves, we are all human and a mistake or being stupid shouldn't result in an execution and a lot of anti-vaccine individuals can eventually be reasoned with. This isn't a normal situation. People are still in shock that we're living through Spanish flu 2.0, black death 3.0, but we are advanced enough medically that the death toll isn't already in the 100 millions. Change your mindset accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're mostly thinking about the idiots in the anti-vaccine movement like 5g or chips type of people; when there are doctors, scientists and what not whom are involved in this movement. For the 5g and chips in vaccine people I can agree with you they're being lied about; but for the most majority they have legitimate reasons. This is nowhere close to Spanish flu or Black Death... I believe vaccines are safe for most of the diseases and illnesses but for this particular virus one should be cautious at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that the majority of antivaxx bs on social media can be traced to a dozen accounts. https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes As for your bit about the Spanish flu and the Black Death, what could possibly be the difference between then and now?

First off I don't know why you referred to the social media accounts when I said I agree that the 5g chips in vaccine crowd are being lied too.. There are medical professionals and scientists who are anti-vaxx or the very least pro choice. I personally met a medical doctor from Denman Island BC and he is pro-choice; he even attended a anti-vaxx rally. The main differences between Covid-19 and the previous illnesses is how deadly they were and level of severity on the general population. People literally dropped like flies with those diseases and millions of deaths later. Covid-19 is deadly don't get me wrong but it is mostly been overblown to fear monger people into submission. A virus that can be eradicated via sunlight to say the least. https://www.ksat.com/news/national/2020/08/14/dr-anthony-fauci-tells-matthew-mcconaughey-sunlight-kills-covid-19-gets-candid-in-qa/ Edited July 24, 2021 by drummer4now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are delusional if you think it's anything else. Also, doctors aren't a good source. Family doctors can be poorly educated from abroad, and generally are because doctors with education from Canadian universities either move to the US to make bank or specialize most of the time. There are a lot of stupid RN's that are anti-vaccine. Treating people doesn't mean you understand the complexities of virology.

When multiple jurisdictions reported that more people died in less than a year than died from the flu in the past decade? Am I missing something? And why exactly are people being fear mongered into submission? For what gain? By who? Or will I have to do my own research even though you've obviously done the research? Again, bringing up the Spanish flu and the Black Death and comparing them to this pandemic isn't a valid point. Science, medicine are miles ahead.

I suspect it might be a very close match, which is morbidly laughable, because on the one hand, they're touting "my body my choice" for vaccination... but then deny the same rights to people who also state "my body my choice" when it comes to abortions. Murder. And you're right it might be similar. Abortion is filth of this world and unless it was due to rape or something or for some god for sake reason IMO it is bad. People being lazy and stupid not using contraceptives or birth control do not deserve children or have the right to abort if they decide later they made a mistake. Now of course they do abort, but that is a whole can of worms It is too bad we live in a disposable society where human fetus and unborn babies are treated like nothing special. I can't even explain you how bad it is. Edited July 24, 2021 by drummer4now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get one. If you want to make judgements aboutv what someone else' does with their body, expect others to do the same when your choice endangers their health.
