    You just dodged the question. Too uncomfortable to answer? I'll ask again:

    So how are you planning to protect the vulnerable or are you okay with just letting them die and shrugging your shoulders while saying "virus going to virus?"

    You listed no specific things. So let's try that again if you can.

    Dude nobody gives a shit that you aren’t vaccinating your kids. Why do you keep repeating yourself?

    I answered the question. You just want to circle jerk it.

    Everyone vaccinated and unvaccinated should know at this point how to handle things based on community spread and if they are sick. Hope you understand the vaccinated spread this…:cool:

    Man, you are dodging the question like it will explode in your face if you even come close to touching it. I'll try one more time and then note how terrified you seem of a simple question: what specific actions should a person take to lower their probability of spreading the virus? Should they socially distance? Vaccinate? Not gather in large crowds? Or some other action?

    I am sure you know they affect different demographics and typically attack the person differently. One vaccine is basically a perfect vaccine after two doses. The other is about as leaky as it gets and is a brand new technology for the two most common.

    I think you know all this but…

    Enjoy your circle jerk. You know the actions to take when you are sick…

    I don't think you know what that word means...it is like when a young child uses a vocab word that they heard and start applying it in nonsensical situations. But less cute.

    But it should be noted that you avoided answering a basic question again. You seem really scared of answering that basic question.

    My kids, my wife, and I are all fully vaccinated with boosters. We saw my fully vaccinated with boosters parents over Thanksgiving.

    The MMR vaccine was one considered a new "drug" too. And there were parents who didn't want to give the vaccine to their kids because of low risk to the kids, or belief natural immunity was better. Sound familiar?

    The mumps vaccine had the largest resistance, because the effects in kids were minor. Many advocated just to vaccinate male adults who didn't have the virus when they were young. But after much research, they found the best way to protect everyone, best to vaccinate all.

    As for the mRNA vaccine? Call it new, but it's really an improvement over past vaccines. They both work on the same principles. And the mRNA vaccine is safer. Instead of being injected with an attenuated virus that contains a lot of other genetic material, with the mRNA, you get just one genetic strand and some organic materials that all break down within half a day.

    Omicron may change things. But Delta? Hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved through vaccination. And anyone dying under the age of 50 now are almost all unvaxxed, and preventable.

    And what do you do if you're asymptomatic?

    Show me a study that has a control group as well and I’d like to see the numbers showing those differences. You know, like the large study I posted.

    Do you know where the KFF data comes from? Or are you saying that everyone's data is inflated, not just the data that comes from the CDC?

    Which vaccines do you believe are basically perfect after two doses?

    The cdc admits the pediatric deaths were 35% over counted. Post the KFF data and if it’s just like the cdc data then yes it is inflated.
