@Stopmakingsense Because if he sticks to the simple truth, it makes him look bad.

@Carla [quote]we finally see eye to eye bud[/quote]

No, we don't.
Spend some time mulling over this weekend.
We'll see if you've come around or not.

@Budwick I've mulled enough over this subject. Besides, I have better plans for the weekend.

@Carla he unblocked me recently

And blocked me again less than a day later

I don’t miss him at all.

Lol

@Elessar It's unfortunate, but I don't think our friend is intelligent enough to understand the difference.

@LordShadowfire Wanna be they ignore the difference between "liberal" and "leftwing" too?

@Elessar That's just standard operating procedure for the right.

@wildbill83 And declared it is harmful and nothing is know about its long term effects despite Phase III clinical trials. Of course, I guess we could wait another 50 years to see if there are more longterm effects we haven't run up against yet. How many will die in those 50 years?

@DeluxedEdition exactly, it isn't about safety, it's about compliance...

"use that, take this vaccine, get in that boxcar... "

@DeluxedEdition I thought the goal was to limit the spread of the disease, not each for himself. If you aren't making any effort to minimize being a carrier, who is being selfish? And will you guarantee that we don't have to pay your hospital bills when you wind up crowding the ICUs for the rest of us, or are you going to use the public hospital so others can pay for you?

@dancingtongue That's not an answer to the questions I asked. And sorry, no, that's not true any longer. Fully vaxxed are almost at the same levels as unvaccinated as far as getting infected.

I've already acknowledged the vaccine has been effective at preventing serious illness and hospitalization.

[quote]And the rates of cases and hospitalizations are mostly be driven by unvaccinated people.[/quote]

@SumKindaMunster If the vax doesn't do you harm it will do you no good. Kind of sad that people have been sold the lie.

@LordShadowfire I'd argue that you are making false equivalencies.. You say that an unborn child is a bundle of random cells to demean its potential for life. I can demean your life by using cold clinical terms too you are a living organism formed of bones, blood, skin and flesh.

I could go as far to demean your life more than that unborn child because the unborn child hasn't polluted this planet, sucked up resources and contributed to a civilization that has ultimately fucked this world and it's habitat for animals that actually have an equilibrium.

@TheWhippersnapper You are literally referring to an embryo, which doesn't even yet have a brain, as a child. And you're also intentionally distracting from the main issue, which is the fact that you've chosen to take the side of the virus in this battle. You don't actually love humanity at all. The fact that you are trying to hide behind feigned offense at my alleged hypocrisy tells me that you are, in fact, a virus.

@dancingtongue It's a fallacy called false equivalency.

@SumKindaMunster Are you saying then that anti-vaxxers tend to be pro-choice?

@dancingtongue No, merely providing context for people who seem confused by the apparent contradiction here.

@MedfordJay i see this way...ALL human life from conception to death is precious and valuable. not just serial killer on death row many want to show mercy to. especially the MOST innocent life that hasnt even had the chance to offend or hurt you yet

@MedfordJay so far abortion has killed 67 million babies in the US, seems its a little more than an individual issue

@TexChik Her body, her choice. I even worked at Planned parenthood with my mom one year, who was an assistant director for many years. Nothing but 99% integrity all around.

@TheWhippersnapper theres really no irony but diff of opinion is america so whatevs

@TryingtoLava the irony is that by not getting the vaccine you are very unlikely to endanger anyone's life because virus kills less than 2% of its hosts where as with an abortion you almost certainly are endangering a life or potential for it.

@TheWhippersnapper ah yes the only __% so it doesnt matter thinking so that 1/10 adults who die of something isnt still a dead person to you? How does that connect to lets say a woman whos been raped and needs an abortion?

@Graylight saved this for later :) thanks!

@soar2newhighs Creative, but still wrong.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I’ve got a pizza coming, get back to you real soon.

@TheWhippersnapper https://similarworlds.com/politics/4118831-If-youre-not-in-favor-of-vaccinating-the-whole

@LordShadowfire There is for me. We can agree to disagree.

@uncalled4 Not really. Unless you're intending to continue wearing a mask and avoiding contact with other humans, not getting vaccinated means you've volunteered your body to be an incubator for the next mutation of the virus.

You're either on the side of humanity, or you're on the side of the virus.

@LordShadowfire Let's be realistic, not everybody is going to get it. You and I and many others have, but one way or another, it's not going to be 100%. The best we can do is to protect ourselves.
