Dear lord............I would've thought by now people would be more educated on vaccines.
My heart hurts for the medical industry and the people who have to try to fight off misinformation.
Even before the covid pandemic...the reason the majority of people were suppose to get the flu shot was NOT FOR YOURSELF! Healthy people that are young never had to worry a ton about the flu......you got the shot to prevent yourself from SPREADING IT OTHER VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
come on were better than this as most parrotheads are smart people
Just saying, the COVID vaccine doesn't prevent you from catching the virus, nor does it protect you from spreading it. Hence why the masks are still shoved down everyone's throat. All the vaccine does is give you a chance at preventing or managing symptoms, "The mRNA-based Pfizer1, 2 and Moderna3 vaccines were shown to have 94–95% efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19." At the core of it, the vaccine does nothing but help the recipient of it. And it makes no sense as to why anyone would care if someone chooses not to take it.
Regardless, I think what most people are saying isn't about being anti-vax. I think most people are saying they're against showing papers to prove it. My medical records are of no concern to anyone else. And that's my biggest issue.
Your records are other people business when it comes to stamping out a virus for good.....where did I say the covid vax prevents transmission? I was talking about the flu....and yes getting the covid vax is about yourself and others ...
Why because we were able to develop 3 working vaccines in the infancy if this virus....if there was 100% or even 90% rates of vaccines worldwide we literally would stop this virus dead possibly forever before it mutates a 1000 times like the flu and it's here forever and we have to chase which strain is going to be the worse each and try to guess at which vaccine to make..
People who choose not to get vaccinated are selfish...plain and simple
But but but ....natural immunity...herd immunity! As someone who works with animals and fish and dealt with cwd and vhs for the past decade....try to get to natural herd immunity without vaccines.....it's called 70% of the population is dead....leaving 30% or fewer that are immune or at least are recovered....
Then a few generations later.....those offspring have no immunity and the cycle starts again
