My mom watching Smerconish on CNN: "Everyone loves this show because it's objective and non-partisan!"

Smerconish: "A poll of our viewers found that 95% of you think that people shouldn't be allowed to travel in public without getting the vaccine."

Me: "Does that sound like an objective and non-partisan opinion?"

My mom: "Well sure. They said if everyone doesn't get the vaccine, my vaccine won't work!"

Me: "You got a vaccine you don't think works, but you think everyone else needs to get it too?"

My mom: "What? Stop trying to confuse me."

At least your mum seems confused. When I debated my mum, at the end of it she agreed with me that the vaccine was untested for long term side effects and then one day I wake up and she tells me she's going to get the booster! I think she's too far gone...

For people who are older, "long term side effects" is less relevant, because they probably don't think they'll live long enough to deal with them.

I still remember an episode from when I was a kid, overhearing a couple of other kids talk about why they smoked. One admitted it would probably kill him, but that was ok, because he die earlier than living to be old and in pain. I didn't bother to tell him that smoking doesn't just make people suddenly drop dead at 45. They just get cancer much earlier, and die more painfully then non-smokers.
