We have saved so many children's lives thanks to vaccines that even if it were true, it would still be a retarded argument.

Seatbelts save hundreds of thousands of lives every year, but there's probably some small handful of freak accidents where someone ends up dying because they were wearing a seat belt. This vaccine argument is like pointing at those deaths and saying that if you cared about people's lives you wouldn't force them to wear seatbelts.

Magical vaccines.

Leaky vaccines.. where 60% efficacy is considered good enough to chastise 100% of the sheep to think they have to get it or perish, or they get the vaccine yet still run around with their double mask and faceshields on...

Some vaccines are important, I'd argue the last really important and useful vaccines were polio, smallpox, tetanus and mmr. Everything else is really just a money grab of stupid people by the elites.

And yes, your argument is asinine. You're arguing that everyone should be forced to take an experimental vaccine whose efficacy is largely suspect so that everyone will feel better. What's more is that only between 1-5% of people who get the actual virus will end up in the hospital, let alone face mortal consequences and most of those are over the age of 65. You also seem to discount any prophylactic or preventative treatments and measures such as ivermectin and vitamin D.

You're analogy is wrong. You aren't recommending they wear seat belts. You're recommending they remove the air freshener dangling from their mirror because you say it will save hundreds of millions of lives. That's a proper analogy.

Of course the real analogy is the voodoo doll you worship isn't bringing forth enough rain, so if they don't do the naked dance while wearing dirty underwear over their heads under the full moon with you it'll never rain.

Sure pal, feel free to do that to your body but I'm not a moron or over 80 so I'll pass.

That 60% stat is nonsense. Even for the single dose J&J vaccine it's around 72%, and notably it's 86% against the severe infections we're really concerned about. The other 2-dose vaccines have efficacies in the 90-95% range.

You're arguing that everyone should be forced to take an experimental vaccine whose efficacy is largely suspect so that everyone will feel better.

That you personally don't know how to do quality research an issue has no bearing on how the smart people make decisions. We already have a case study in what happens when you get the majority of the population vaccinated. Israel was getting shots in arms even faster than the US was, and now the majority of their population is fully vaccinated.

And what was the result? Why don't you look at their case numbers and death rates and tell me. Looking forward to your next impotent ego defense rant so I can keep dunking on you.
