Picking just one statistic is not a good idea and is one of the tenets of fallacious reasoning called "Stacking the argument". The numbers are known unless you fall for the fake news on social media. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason that scammers are able to get millions of people to fall for their absurd scams....unfortunately many people are amazingly gullible and then double down rather than admit they got conned....if i were a scammer i would actively look for antivaxers who seem willing to believe the unbelievable in spite of massive amounts of evidence from thousands of doctors and scientists who have spent their lives studying viruses...how may anti vaxers are doctors? Maybe a few quack docs looking to run a scam. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking just one statistic is not a good idea and is one of the tenets of fallacious reasoning called "Stacking the argument". The latest report from the State of Pennsylvania noted that 97% of those who died were unvaccinated. Are you suggesting that residents of Pennsylvania with preexisting conditions were less likely to be vaccinated? So much so that for every 100 people afflicted with those pre-existing conditions, 97 percent of them were unvaccinated? This seems to you a likely assumption? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteBuffaloATM Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 “ long term ( vax) side effects unknown”: like what. zombie appcalyse you mean ? assume they are known. and assessed as Zero. since the protein spiking vax material leaves the body after two weeks, and all sorts of other scientific factors. ”(covid vax) used for the first time” (in CAPS). No. there were FDA / Equiv. Trials over sufficient time, as determined by scientific method. every invention has to be “used for the first time”, after sufficient trials. that’s how progress is made…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the antivax libertarians refuse to contemplate and why it's becoming manadatory to get vaccinated for high contact situations. Unfortunately you ignore the facts that most children are not vaccinated and they are running around carrying and transmitting the virus. And you ignore the data that is showing how many vaccinated people can carry and do transmit the virus. Trying to point to the unvaccinated is a divisive position and far from the complete story.

Well you change the definition of a vaccine of course. This kind of nonsense comes from the fact that vaccines can now be created in such a way that they don't come from killed viruses. But the word vaccine was created to describe the substances for smallpox vaccine which was not purified viruses but was essentially the diseased matter taken from those afflicted with cowpax. This had to be the case since viruses weren't even known to exist until the 1920's. So I guess the polio vaccine, among others really isn't a vaccine. Or, for that matter, the modern version of the smallpox vaccine. Does it somehow disqualify something from being a vaccine because now scientists can see a virus in every detail and extract the information it needs from the virus to direct the immune system to battle against a piece of itself? And even if that silly point was valid, what of it? You think that semantics has a significant role to play in the battle against a pandemic? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vaccine originally meant the pus that was extracted from cowpox sores. The very word vaccine derives from the latin for cattle. It's definition changed over time to encompass the discovery of bacteria and viruses. Now it's encompassing duplication of part of those viruses. Science marches on.
