Are you familiar with the saying "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem"? That applies here. When the ill informed or deluded refuse to get vaccinated, they add to the pool of people where the virus can go and spread. Then there's the children under 12 and others that are more likely to get the virus as a result.
With all due respect, we're all part of the pool... vaccinated or not. No one is exempt. It's just that the vaccinated are less likely to get a severe case. They've shown that even the vaccinated can spread this f'ing Delta variant.

I was talking with my brother last weekend and they know several people who are vaccinated that still got the virus. My sister is the same. Both live in highly populated areas. No one is truly exempt which means we're all part of the pool.

Agree with you, especially since the Delta variant is predominant. That leaves vaccinated people to wear a mask indoors. Having been vaccinated does substantially decrease the odds of being infected, though. So that helps a lot.

I'd still get the vaccine even if its effectiveness is 0%. Being close to 99% able to avoid serious illness/death and to avoid overloading the hospitals is the real remaining essential value.

Again show me some that shows young healthy with no pre-existing conditions. Number ?? Not just oh you're ill informed .. I've seen nothing other that lame stream media repeating the white house liars or CDC ( you know the 2 weeks to flatten the curve, oh you need masks , no they don't work,, no you need 2 masks outside among vaccinated people folks )

The natural immunity from having COVID isn't as good as having a vaccination.

Well here's a source disputing that https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/vaccine-induced-covid-immunity-versus-natural-immunity-which-protects-you-better/photostory/85454673.cms?picid=85454693

Now the under 12 are more likely ?? what happened to they don't get it and don't spread it.. The narrative changes to maintain control ..


oh and all you internet geniuses ,, my zip is 89521 find J and J writing 15 miles.. doesn't exist as of a few days ago

Let Google be your friend. Try to come to the conversation informed. No, the narrative didn't change to maintain control. The Delta variant showed up. Things change, and they got a lot worse.

It also means every other communicable and potentially deadly disease out there is being ignored and spread.

I don't think they're being ignored John. I think one that has killed as many as this virus has is being made a priority and for understandable reasons. We can argue numbers. We can argue the age group most affected. But ultimately you have to ask the question "would many of those dead now still be alive today if the virus didn't exist?" If the answer is yes, then we should be doing all we can to get rid of this virus. If that means telling people who take care of the elderly in a healthcare environment that they need to be vaccinated, then so be it.

My decision to get the vaccine ultimately boiled down to one simple thing. I could see the toll that not being around family was having on my parents. They chose to isolate. I saw my dad cry last Christmas as my wife and kids along with my brother and his wife stood in the garage door opening singing Christmas carols to my mom and dad (maybe we were just really bad singers). I was willing to do whatever it took to get them comfortable with being around family. I owed them that. If that meant taking a vaccine that wasn't approved, I was going to do it. I've since come to understand that the vaccine isn't as dangerous as many want to make it out to be.

Troll? I didn't even know there was a scientific consensus.
This seems to change every other day even at the higher levels.
What reason will you give up all your rights for?

But perhaps I've experienced different information and before that considered the reason why all information is not readily "available".

We can agree to have different opinions and disagree.
YMMV. Good luck.

What sources of information support your position? I'm listening.

This is offensive and trolling:

Nice Island. Holy sh.t man...It wasn't his dad's "grown ass decision" to be around someone that decided not to get vaccinated and then be exposed. I could be wrong here but I doubt I am.

Your mentality, the unbelievably stupid mentality, is why his dad might have been exposed. It's a safe bet that the same asshat who refuses to get vaccinated is the same asshat that said "masks don't work!" I'd even bet the asshat supported his assertion with a meme showing smoke around the edges of a mask.

It's the same thing. Actually more obtuse of an example. Let's see if it even filters.

But that is "incorrect news" to say the least.
And probably deliberately racist and hateful would be a more accurate description.
(I assume you want to stick with the proven facts to base reality on.)

If you'd like to search my post history, I have provided many links from my research. They are too numerous.to copy here.
But if you have a specific question, about a specific topic, I'd be glad to discuss that further.

cabmando, there are more teens dying from a sharp increase in suicides than from 'the covid'.
(lockdowns, violence and hate, possibilities, etc)

Something to consider.

Suicides dropped in 2020. There is no data on age from 2020 that I know of.

No data from 2021.
