I'm not really worried about myself getting it. The percentage of people who "can't get" the vaccine is infinitesimal. Stop it. And what is with the "should be significantly reduced?" It is. We know it is. There is no should. Why do people like you and Fauci have to hedge everything? Facts are facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with your first sentence, that's why it was just a secondary point in my sentence. Deaths are lower, they "should" stay lower. Only way they wouldn't is if the vaccine doesn't work.

I think they work to prevent COVID deaths, but I hope you're right in having such faith that there will be no long term health issues related to the vaccine. Seems like a risk to me, to prevent something that won't do any great harm to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I care about other people. I know, shocking compared to the rest of the GC. There are unfortunately a lot of unhealthy (especially if we're using "overweight" by BMI as the definition as others did earlier in this thread) people that are not getting the vaccine. And we're still seeing over 600 deaths a day. Even if we call it 500, that'd equate to almost 200k a year or about 5x the typical flu season. I'm not saying we need to keep restrictions forever. I frankly don't think there should really be any restrictions at this point except for maybe keeping some mask requirements indoors for those without proof of vaccination or antibody results. And private businesses such as grocery stores can have their own policies. If you don't like them, don't go there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you doing to get people to lose weight or stop drinking/smoking? In the US, only 2, heart disease and cancer, neither of which are contagious and neither of which have a highly effective vaccine available. If we continue to get people to get the vaccine, I do think it's possible that covid can pretty much "go away," as opposed to people just pretending it went away. I've said multiple times in this thread I would've hoped that covid would've encouraged people to be healthier so it's unfortunate that it hasn't. But it surely would be more a violation of people's freedom to ban certain types of food as opposed to telling people to put a cloth over their face, right? Nonetheless, the government has done a lot in terms of restricting smoking. But if we're breaking up cancers by type, looks like lung is the highest at around 130k, so less than the 200k number. I know there is a lot of research being done on other types of cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, the point is that with contagious diseases such as covid, one person's decisions can impact other people. Generally not so with heart disease (or cancer, but of course most cancers besides lung are not easily preventable in the first place). Although sure, at this point if you haven't gotten the vaccine then I guess part of the blame should be on you. But speaking of the vaccine, it's a pretty simple fix for the covid problem.

Find me someone who died with covid and would not have with the jab. Ya can't, that's impossible. However, I got plenty I can show you that died from the jab and HAD recovered previously from covid or were totally healthy and died after the jab.
