    I see your point. I. feel it's folly to believe they don't exist.

    It was total sarcasm. I had been replying to Q but the reply got lagged up and when it posted it didn’t have the quote. So maybe it wasn’t as apparent. Sorry for the confusion.

    Shots like shingles, pneumococcal pneumonia are useful for high risk people. Elderly, immune compromised etc as you noted.

    Yes, I know. Believe in contagion goes back thousands of years. Back then it was gods are angry. These days it’s viruses.

    Just when I think that Americans cannot collectively get any more ignorant, they find news ways to prove me wrong. I hope this passes and the Phase 1/2 cancer treatments, Flu Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, HIV Vaccine that demonstrate the power of this platform are deprived of the citizens there. People definitely have the Constitutional right to suffer and die in ignorance.

    Two Idaho lawmakers introduce legislation to criminalize giving out certain COVID-19 vaccines

    To the ears and brains of fauci and idiots in public health who went with a one size fits all approach on these shots. The antithesis of medicine was done. And generational damage caused. Yet we still have the cdc and fda attempting to push these shots on people that do not need them.

    Q, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    That is stupid. Almost as stupid as shutting down schools and pushing to Vax kids.

    Great Billy Maddison line. Absolutely horribly executed.

    But hey. If is par for the course with you.

    Unfortunately you are too far gone to realize we don’t just fire off shots into all groups of people. We assess the risk benefits of groups and make decisions accordingly.

    Just hope your kids and grandkids are not still be subjected to these shots.

    We don’t outlaw smoking or alcohol and other such calming strategies that kill multitudes. So why should we ban vaccines ?

    I guess we get to witness ignorance for the time being.

    I’m the evil that will vaccinate your children against your will. Keep melting about it.

    His prideful ignorance doesn’t require you to sink to this level.

    I compare it to other medications that have been approved by the fda using the same system and process.

    Since I see patients of all walks of life I have to consider their thoughts and feelings when discussing any numbers of treatment.
    I don’t have the luxury of being dismissive to their concerns.

    You are comparing apples and oranges. I understand you must take into account patients feelings and concerns and they have to make their own choices but if you are comparing drugs that are given daily for years to vaccines that are given a couple of times that is an incorrect and non evidence based basis for comparison. Vaccines do have side effects, but those side effects are known pretty quickly, and the side effects and frequency of Covid vaccines are well known at this point.

    Israel was first out of the gate with vaccines and robust efforts to vaccinate the ‘at risk’ populations. Staggering increase in deaths in 2021. 2022 deaths are higher than 2020 deaths ...

    No. You are the one who continue to offer nothing but has some infatuation with me. Weird. But that happens in life…
