You yourself admitted that those vaccinated have overall significantly better outcomes so what the hell are we even talking about.
-
I feel like we're all saying flavors of the same ideas:
- Yes, vaccinations work and significantly help your odds if you get COVID
- Yes, people should get them
- No, people shouldn't be forced to
- Yes, government statistics aren't perfect
- Yes, in general they are accurate and support why folks should get vaccinated

Not at all. I agree with 1-3, 4 and 5 I disagree with wildly except for the past supposition that the numbers still do support getting vaccinated.

Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance. Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts. Host–virus interactions early in infection may shape the entire viral trajectory.

At the very least, can we agree that people who don't get the vaccines are being selfish and kinda asshole-ish? (Unless you have a legit medical reason not to)
With the amount of safety data we have on this - it seems like it's safer to get this vaccine than it is driving on a highway (maybe not, but it feels pretty damn safe).
There are real social costs to people not getting the vaccine (over-filled hospitals, prolonging the pandemic)

There's so much there...
But, in essence, you're right. If you're vaccinated, you're much less likely to die, and get seriously ill.
But (and if I read this correctly), if you're vaccinated, and you break through, your likelihood of transmitting the virus is pretty high, even if you don't get sick.

Seems obvious to me.
Does anyone here disagree?

define legit
Right or wrong a lot of people are legitimately terrified of the vaccine
I know, I know, everyone here is superior to that
So, sorry no, we don't all agree
And I have had 6 vaccinations in the last year, anyone who has had fewer is selfish

Did you just bristle at me using a short form of “legitimate” or do you really want examples of conditions where people can’t get a vaccine for medical reasons?

This has nothing to do with “superior”. That’s some sort of cultural argument. I, for completely selfish reasons, want the number of vaccinations to get as high as possible so we can all better move on with our lives. I don’t really personally know or care about who these people are.
So, sorry no, we don't all agree
That’s an interesting argument. So you think these people may have an unjustified fear, that fear has negative implications for society, but their heart is in the right place so we should have kindness and understanding.
I didn’t realize you were so tolerant and empathetic.

How are the unvaccinated being selfish, if they are the most likely to become seriously ill or die? Especially in light of George's Lancet article.
Remember, I told you that down here over the last month, about 20% of the COVID patients admitted to hospital were fully vaccinated.

Just so I understand, you’re saying there’s no social benefits of more people being vaccinated?

In what ways are they being selfish? In causing the virus to spread more? The vaccinated are doing so, too. Unfortunately, we have no numbers to guess by what amount, sure would be nice to quantify…
In endangering those that cannot take the vaccine or the vaccine is ineffective? Well, if the vaccinated are spreading as well and at significant levels, then the risk is still there.

Not nearly at the level of the vaccinated. They're also using significantly more resources in our medical system when they do get sick.
Please love yourself.

Medical resources are an issue that isn't going away, but COVID has been the scapegoat for some issues that were already present.
Medicine is quickly becoming overwhelmingly corporate with all the problems that MBA's, clipboard carriers and the government can bring to bear.

There is no data to justify that supposition. As shown earlier in this thread, the stats for the breakthrough cases are only those cases that visit a hospital. They aren’t counting the others that have mild symptoms. There’s very good reason to believe the reported number of breakthrough cases are 1/10th the actual number or even less. After all, if 10% of unvaccinated cases result in hospitalization then the number should be far less for a vaccine that reduces the severity of the disease, no?

I was simply answering your question
No I don't agree with all this stuff you are making up
Let's keep it simple
can we agree that people who don't get the vaccines are being selfish
No, we can't all agree with that
