How would you talk to these folks? — Srap Tasmaner
We don't need 100% vaccination and there's other countries need the vaccines far more urgently. — Isaac
Can I ask, in return, at whom do you think the pro-vaccine invective here is aimed? — Isaac
I'm not here much anymore. — Srap Tasmaner
Looked in and couldn't quite figure out what axe you were grinding. — Srap Tasmaner
Using this forum is not an effective way of broadcasting your opinions — Srap Tasmaner
Why? Do they work? — James Riley
What's the difference between having a well founded and most rational argument for non-vaxxin and just not wanting it? — Prishon
Do you mean the non-vaxxers who hold arguments? — Prishon
Yes, in order to distribute an argument it would have to exist first. It's the difference between stating a preference and reason. Simply, stating one's preference doesn't imply others should believe they have a reason to be compelled to share it. The "reason" element would be derived from an argument. I feel like I'm over explaining; was that rhetorical?↪Prishon Distribution of a potentially harmful argument that others mistake for medical advice. — Cheshire
Work at what? — Isaac
And what's holding up vaccine supply? — Isaac
First, tell me if they work. Then I will ask you what they work for. Then we can discuss whether morons like me are holding up the supply, or morons like you are dissuading people from using them. — James Riley
Me: They work, yes. — Isaac
Cool. What do they work for? — James Riley
The vaccine works by giving some immunity to those which don't have sufficient acquired immunity or who may come to harm acquiring it. — Isaac
If it gives some immunity to the people you mention, does it not provide some immunity to other people? Or does it only provide some immunity to those you mention? Is there something about the people you mention that allows them to get some immunity, but others not? — James Riley
They might also reduce the extent to which an average person can transmit the virus, although that is less clear. — Isaac
And I encourage everyone else to get vaxed. — James Riley
vaccines should also reduce the time it takes your body to clear the virus right? And that surely reduces the number of people you transmit to, for most people. — Srap Tasmaner
'encouraging' . . . everyone to get it creates a demand — Isaac
even less likely . . . because all you've done is entrenched their paranoia — Isaac
happily approaching your 70% target — Isaac
I can link any sources — Isaac
