"Blown out of proportion"...

In 2019-20 there were about 20,000 deaths from the flu in the U.S. The mortality rate among the elderly, the hardest-hit group, was about 22 per 100,000 (that's 0.0022 percent).

In 2020 there were about 375,000 deaths from Covid-19 in the U.S. It was the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Death rates among the elderly were almost 1800 per 100,000. That's 81 times as deadly. Death rates overall went up 15 percent due solely to Covid. Suicide was pushed out of the top 10 leading causes of death.

The pandemic has indeed been used to divide us, by poiticians who treat it as some kind of partisan issue rather than a medical one.

You don't have to tell me anything about history, I have a graduate degree in it. And you're right, statistics have been lied about since Day 1. You're just wrong about who is lying. Remember "It's just 1 guy in California, it will be gone in a month"?

You're forcing your will on others if you walk around unvaccinated and without a mask. I can't think of more deliberate forcing than potentially spreading a deadly disease.

Surviving covid does provide some temporary resistance. It has not proven that it's better than the vaccine. And that's stipulating that you don't, y'know, die from Covid in the process.

Does your body autonomy stance cover all vaccinations, or just this one? I'm just curious whether you're vaccinated against smallpox, shingles, tetanus, flu....

And I'm done wasting my time now with a reply you almost surely won't read. But maybe somebody will, and be educated by it. Goodnight.

Aside from noting that I find it ironic you're complaining about "ignorant comments" just before making a whole series of them.

It's the same as mistrust of scientists, so, not that much different.

And take your Heartworm preventative (ivermectin)

This answer? I like it.

@Beachslim7 His speaking in support of it actually caused him to lose popularity among his base. He has notably not spoken out for vaccination since he was punted out of the White House.

That's option 5.

That's also not a side effect of the vaccine, although it is a possible effect of severe covid infection. So getting vaccinated is also good for your balls.

@Paul4747 half the answer.. the other part..”just to get along” is actually more important than the fear of big balls.

Here's the thing about that; "your choice" has a good chance of effecting other people's bodies. Taking an avoidable risk, like bungie jumping, is one thing. You can kill only yourself that way. But taking the avoidable risk of being more likely to catch and spread covid can kill other people, even if you survive it.

Also, I assume you're not vaccinated against the flu, mumps, rubella, shingles, tetanus, etc.? Or is it just this particular vaccine that you choose to flee?

@Paul4747 That is just a typical Trumpster response to the questionnaire and not in any way represents my position.

@Beachslim7 Your choice to use any form of birth control also affects a future life as well.

@jlynn37 I'm advocating against the devil

@Paul4747 To hell with the devil!

I'm still laughing, thanks for this.
