I am aware of the science says take the vaccine. There may very well be some scientists who disagree. But my doctor took it and he advises me to take it and all the dissent I see is on Faux News with no peers. — James Riley
Why would you judge others on the basis of your own unqualified and self-admittedly incomplete assessment of the dissenting scientific opinion? If you don't know (and admit you don't know), then on what grounds the vitriolic judgement? — Isaac

I judge because you are not just (possibly) hurting yourself, but you are (possibly) hurting others. And the weight of the professional opinion is on my side. — James Riley
Risk yourself. And, at the very least, if you do get sick, for crying out loud, don't go to the fucking doctor. — James Riley
But you've now three times failed to provide the details of what that 'weight of professional opinion' actually says on the matter. So how do you know it's on your side? — Isaac
" — James Riley
The details are these, read my words (watch my lips): Distance, mask, vax. — James Riley
If you want more, go to school, get an advanced degree in the area and engage your peers. — James Riley

"It's not a matter of "should." It's a function of nature, Darwin, society. "
What do you mean? That it is only Natural to take away individual rights? — Prishon
answer — James Riley
In what scientific peer-reviewed journal is the conclusion that everyone ought to distance, mask, vax reached? What methodology would such an experiment even employ? — Isaac

Im not sure what happened. I saw your comment above I think. But it's not there. It involved your reaction to suspiciousness to non-vaccinators. Im not sure now...☺ — Prishon
I cant make the vaccinated ill... — Prishon

I feel strong negative sentiments and even hostility are present in people who have taken the vaccine. — Prishon

Honestly I dont care if I got sick by the virus ir sick by the vaccination. I just dont want someone to push a needle in my arm and inject some stuff in it. Even it was for my own or others good. Unless the needle contained nice stuff.. — Prishon
Neither affect the viral load outside the bloodstream, in the nasal mucosa, for example, which, as I cited earlier, carries a significant proportion of the transmitted virus particles. — Isaac
This doesn't translate into a moral claim that one ought to get vaccinated because an individual has other options which (as current evidence stands) are equally efficacious given known factors of their personal circumstances. — Isaac
I'm following those who I trust to have followed the evidence. — James Riley
The data here overdetermines the theory (the same data fails to falsify more than one theory), so... more than one 'truth'. Some things, of course, are false, and maybe one day 'does vaccination reduce viral transmission?' will be something to which a false answer might be possible, but I don't think that's today. — Isaac
