    Yeah, its just that simple. Society foes this. We weigh risk and reward.

    Sticking with the vaccine)seatbelt metaphor, I take no issue with Rick not wearing a seatbelt if he wishes not to. I take issue with someone badmouthing seatbelts as a greater good.

    In this case, vaccines are the seatbelt.

    It cannot be an apt analogy for two reasons: (1) viruses do not exist and are therefore not analogous to accidents and (2) on top of that, vaccines are analogous to seatbelts that injure and kill in disturbing numbers.

    Yes the vaccine is helpful to many many people. Not all though. Don’t like that they are giving more boosters without doing any public trials. Doesn’t make sense.

    Influenza vaccine has about 1 in a 100k adverse affect, the Covid vaccine is in the area of 60 per 100k. So it’s only 60 times more likely to have an adverse reaction. And this is an altered vaccine. Hey, they checked it on 8 mice, so that’s good for millions of people, right? LOL

    We will never know the adverse effects rate simply because in this thoroughly fascistic milieu correlation only flows one way.

    What do you think the Influenza vaccine is each year? (Hint: - altered from previous year)

    How many humans do they test the Influenza vaccine on each year? (Hint: - zero)

    You keep changing your anti-vaxx argument, so now you are running around with data from the virtually fictitious VAERs system. Here is one last hint for the science challenged...when the immune system is challenged, there are reactions. That is not a bad thing, that is how it works. Shhhh....don't tell anyone they might start to understand all of this.

    LOL, now VAER’s is fictitious? Here is the CDC saying it’s not. I get it. You were totally wrong about kids getting the vaccine and you are trying your best to not look foolish. Just admit you were wrong and move on. People would have more respect if you did that instead of this.

    The science crowd has pretty much cancelled the CDC of late.

    some inaccurate info in this thread…..

    the claim that Denmark has banned those under 50 from getting vaccinated against COVID-19 due to safety concerns is false. The country has a high rate of adherence to vaccination and is focusing its current booster drive on those who are most vulnerable, which accounts for nearly half the population.”

    It’s called convenience. It’s easier to explain sudden deaths over 50 than sudden deaths under 50.
