@xenon well i guess i just dont get it
i think one day 100 years from now historians will have a blast trying to figure it all out.
As far as irrational ideas people believe due to culture, I don't suspect vaccination hesitancy will be on the radar historically. None of this should be flabbergasting if you understand that humans believe what their culture tells them to believe. No fainting couch required at that observation. It is how humans operate.

Just like the left can't seem to understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration...
They conflate anti-mandate with anti-vax. The issue is not anti-vax. It's anti-mandate.
And until natural immunity is considered in the equation, it's not going to change.
We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. -
I’m also anti mandate. I think one of the saddest things in the world is that people are not smart enough to figure out this is something you decide to do on your own. Even if the government said no mandates at all. All personal choice. I cannot for the life of me understand someone not doing it. At least now with data on millions.

I don't get it either Bach. But that's their choice.

Well put. But stupid is the gift that keeps on giving, for a while at least.
Also, I notice you're using caps in that post. Who are you, really, and how did you get @bachophile 's password?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@george-k haha. Spellchecks by apple. Makes capitals automatically at end of sentences. I get tired of going back and uncapitalizing.
Hey cats how’s that for a new word?…

the government didn't invent vaccines.
Good point. Despite its regulatory and enforcement authority and responsibility, government is only one of several messengers in support of mass vaccination.
But I do agree, it is political or so it is where I live. Thankfully, the argument that vaccine mandates violate the Nuremberg Accord rings hollow and just isn’t convincing to most folks to support the cause.
-
Now, let’s say that a few districts in Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee had .05% lower turnout and Donald Trump won the election. What would those vaccination numbers by party look like? My bet is that the Republican numbers would be about the same and the Democrat numbers would be far lower, as it would have well and truly been considered a Trump vaccine.

Well, that's just re-emphasising how stupid people are.
-
@lufins-dad no I bet the Republican numbers would be higher. And yes the Democrats lower. Phibes is so right. People are stupid.

The entire anti-vaccination movement is based on people being fucking idiots.
I know, I know, we're supposed to embrace diversity, and everybody has a right to their own opinion. Still, they're fucking idiots.

Yep. I'd amend that to say that folks who have no problem with the vaccines, but for medical reasons have either decided or have been advised not to get one themselves, don't fit into that category.
But yeah, exceptions aside, morons.
Please love yourself.

Sure, there are medical reasons, and there may be other valid reasons too, but as a movement, it's not humanity's finest hour. And I don't mean just Covid, but the whole anti-vaccination bollocks.
