    I just wanna point out that the nflpa reads my posts here, and they take my advice very seriously. They take it so serious that they got the nfl to adopt my policy here. I'm kind of a big deal



    Lol

    Newsflash, just because the provax crowd isn't 100^% right doesn't mean they are 100% wrong. Do yourself a favor and STFU until you understand the difference.
    Kinda like being against a certain evil doesn?t mean that you?re good, huh?
    Dehumanization is a quality that our society is being taught as a method of justification in discounting the opinions of those with whom we disagree. We don?t have to value the validity of their point of view because they are ?evil? or ?monsters? and therefore would be better disposed of or dismissed. You appear to lack deep intellect and seem easily manipulated.

    The only people here throwing around words and implications like "evil" are the anti-vaccine people (including people who are vaccinated themselves but still support the unvaccinated team). The posters who want everyone to get vaccinated come from a place of love and kindness and just don't want people to throw their lives away.

    Totalitarians always claim mercy, love, and kindness as motivation when committing the atrocities necessary to implement their better world. The road to ruin is often paved with good intentions.

    Didn?t Thanos justify killing half of all beings in the name of the greater good?

    Thankfully getting vaccinated isn't an atrocity, but as the Vicar of Christ put it, "an act of love."

    I would be careful advocating much of anything that he has to say about it.😉

    Hitler was right

    ALL PROPAGANDA HAS TO BE POPULAR AND HAS TO ACCOMMODATE ITSELF TO THE COMPREHENSION OF THE LEAST INTELLIGENT OF THOSE WHOM IT SEEKS TO REACH.

    - Adolf Hitler

    HOW FORTUNATE FOR GOVERNMENTS THAT THE PEOPLE THEY ADMINISTER DON?T THINK.

    - Adolf Hitler

    IF YOU TELL A BIG ENOUGH LIE AND TELL IT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH, IT WILL BE BELIEVED.

    I USE EMOTION FOR THE MANY AND RESERVE REASON FOR THE FEW.

    ...Aaaand I think you know that and are just trying to bait me.
    How about cigarettes and alcohol? Are those necessary or should the govt ban them in the name of safety and caring? They won't because of all the money they get in taxes off them.

    And while vaccines aren't 100% effective, shall we compare the effectiveness of this vaccine vs the polio vaccine? Or the mumps vaccine? Or measles? You know, the ones that actually work.

    Its amazing that it appears that a growing consensus agrees that Covid 19 was released from a lab in China that Fauci and the NIH funded gain of function research. The only thing that is up for debate is whether the release was accidental or intentional.

    We have over 800k dead in America and are approaching 6 million dead world-wide and many still haven their heads in the sand. Sad.

    And the folks in charge haven't a clue what to do. They say the same things over and over. Pfizer is making bank though and I suppose that is what matters.

    Never forget BANK. Too many do.

    My body is a gift from GOD. It is NOT a ward of the State. I decide what goes in it.

    All this is easily Googlable:

    Polio - 90% after 2 doses, 99% after 3
    Measles - 93% after 1 dose, 97% after 2
    Mumps - 78% after 1 dose, 88% after 2
    COVID - around 90% after 2 doses, depending on the brand and variant

    The difference is that you never had 30% of Americans outright refusing the polio vaccine back in the day, and nowhere near 30% refusing the MMR vaccine today. If you did, you'd hear a see a whole lot of cases of them.

    Wut? Dude, you've got a logical fallacy going on (well, many of them, but I'm just focusing on this one) that I'm trying to point out to you to help you out. That's not me attempting to "dehumanize" you. You are spouting something profoundly stupid and think you're being smart. Just tying to educate the you up, bro.

    And when you can't grasp a simple logical fallacy and keep insisting on it.....then your attempted insults on intellect don't hit at all and just come off as childish.
