Fully agree, however the same logic was not applied to covid-19, I wonder why?

Cheers

Don't blame the rooster for the sunrise - get vaccinated so we can continue to argue about
purity and motorgliders :^)

We all pretty much know what the odds are if we catch COVID (not good if you're 65+). Here are the side effects of getting vaccinated (https://www.usnews.com/news/health-n...ons-are-rare):

From mid-December to mid-January, over 13.7 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were administered across the country. According to the study, just under 7,000 adverse events were reported to vaccine surveillance systems during that time frame, with the majority of events categorized as "non serious" and 640 – less than 10% of the reported adverse events – documented as "serious."

Getting vaccinated was pretty much a no-brainer.

Yes, indeed: if "The vaccine is more deadly than cov-aids", there would've been about 140,000
deaths (1%) from the vaccinations, yet there were only a thousand or so deaths after the
vaccinations, and none were attributed to the vaccine.

Deaths of any cause where cov-aids was possibly present scored as a cov-aids kill. All deaths post vaccination scored as other than a vaccination kill. You guys are disappointing. Sad thing is the vaccine 'might' be useful for health if it reduced fear, solely by the health benefits of not living scared, but the pubic health people say you still need to be afraid after getting jabbed.

You are ignoring the excess deaths and unusually large number of hospitalizations during the
last 12 months. These can not be explained by misreported causes of death. Those of us who take
the CDC recommendations seriously are not living in fear, anymore than glider pilots wearing
parachutes are living in fear: it is a sensible response to a real problem. I hope you will
wear a parachute in the air and a mask on the ground.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously declared, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

How naïve. If he had only realized how fear could be such a useful tool for those in power. Merely by promoting fear, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights can be tossed in the trash. The precedent has been set so that in the future, the citizenry can be ordered to behave like sheep, with the most sheep-ish recruited to chastise, shame and otherwise finger-wag the rest of us into compliance.

"Independence Day" will now only be referred to as "July 4." However, the anniversary of the date the Government declared an emergency for a virus with a 99.8% SURVIVAL rate will be hereafter "celebrated" as "Dependence Day," with festivities canceled and all citizens ordered to spend 24 hours in a Styrofoam box with CNN or MSNBC on the tube. Failure to observe this "holiday" will result in having your work declared non-essential and your "emergency benefits" curtailed.

We seem to be a very selfish people, looking only at "what is the immediate risk to me personally" and ignoring (or dismissing) the risk to the infrastructure that supports us. Sign

I was never really worried about getting sick with the Sars 2 virus, although I did get tested once because my wife came in contact with infected clients through her work as did my son, who lives at home. I recently received both Pfizer vaccines. The second one gave me mild to moderate flu syptoms for 3 days or so. A physician friend works in the ICU at the local University Hospital ICU ward, and it has been a horror show for her. I think it is wise to get vaccinated to speed up the herd immunity, if not to protect yourself.
