Actually, more like people who sneak into the drive-in movie by hiding in the trunk of the car.

All these vaccine threads have turned into giant shit shows filled with irrelevant trash, anecdotal arguments, and misinformation from preformed biases.

Ah gotcha. Yeah there are a handful I don't agree with, and I'm on the 'get vaccinated' side. Locking people up or forcing someone isn't going to get us anywhere. We've already seen that. Also comparing 9/11 to COVID is like comparing D-Day to the Spanish Flu.

There could be anecdotal discussions but people love to poke the hornets nest. which is why I'm just having fun with this now.

They've been working on mRNA vaccines for over a decade, but never brought them to market until everyone panicked over Covid. Do some research yourself to see why not.

How many of you jumped at the chance to get the vaccine, yet say you would never take a chance on a first model year of a new car? Now which poses the most direct risk to you?

Luckily, my entire family and I all had Covid and survived (just like 99.97% of everyone else under 85). So according to most medical experts including Fauci, we're likely to have a longer lasting and more extensive immunity than those taking the vaccine anyway. So why risk it?

So do you plan to take the Johnson and Johnson one since it's a traditional vaccine mechanism that has been previously approved?

No. I added to my post above. My family and I have all had Covid, so we have a natural immunity. But if I was to get one now, that would be the one I'd get.

Check the science. You have temporary immunity that fades pretty quickly, and you don't have immunity to variants. Just ask the Brazilians.

And apparently we’re doing something right considering how many people have been leaving CA and coming here. Talk about a virus...

But keep going. You sound more ridiculous with each post.

I think you numbers a little off there @jeffchap, at least for Georgia. Here are the numbers from my state.

I agree with you that you are at less risk the younger you are (although there are some long-term respiratory issues for many survivors regardless of age) but at least use a correct number so you don't negate your own argument.

WWII US deaths, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs, is 405,399. We blew past that number months ago. As I read in the history books, there were some sacrifices of freedom involved in fighting WWII. Some may even say that their freedoms were limited in the struggle, against their wills. People who refused to fight were forced into service or imprisoned.

The scientific facts are clear, with zero evidence to the contrary: COVID is a terrible threat. The paths forward are clear, too. In a moral and just world, those "conscientious objectors" would either seal themselves up at home until this is all over, their form of service, or go to prison and be shunned for the rest of their lives.
