I know over ten people including coworkers that have been boosted and had terrible cases of covid.

Well they're lucky they're boosted. It probably saved their lives.

Have you ever wondered if you might have been an asymptomatic spreader, to have so many colleagues go down? I would have been unhappy if one of my colleagues was unvaccinated.

The shit doesn't work, period.

Your reasoning doesn't work, period.

But if you think your recollection of the vaccination history of your colleagues is good evidence, why don't you write it up and submit it to the NEJM?

Someone may learn something.

But of course it's totally believable the same companies that created the opioid crisis, and have had billions in fines on covering up deadly medications that they brought to market knowing they were deadly would certainly never do any funny business with mRNA vaccines!

Just the mRNA vaccines you have a problem with? So the traditional ones like the AstraZeneca, you claim are fine.

You don't make that clear until now. Are you sure your thinking is clear and rational about this?

That's a mad conspiracy theory! You can totally trust them this time!

They're out to make a profit. But where vaccination rates are high, all cause mortality is low. Epidemiological studies independent of the pharmaceutical companies show that. So in this case their products work. People should get vaccinated, for their own benefit, but also to make their communities safer.

Nah you're just a fool and a pharma shill. All coworkers were remote of course.

Brilliant argument.

I particularly enjoyed how you addressed the data showing the lower excess mortality in states with higher vaccination rates.

And you managed to elaborate on your reasoning of "I know about ten people who got sick, therefor vaccines don't work" despite all the formal evidence to the contrary. And why we should believe your anecdote over the data.

And you clarified how you see the difference between "mRNA vaccine" and "Covid vaccine", and whether you think the traditional covid vaccines also have the problems you attribute to the mRNA ones.

... at least to the extent that anyone expected you capable of. (◔_◔)

I don't play gish gallop with retards.

Another well reasoned argument.

We're clearly out of out depth here boys. This guy has heard of the not relevant "Gish gallop".

The argument presented showcases a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. It reflects the author's awareness of the fallacy referred to as the "Gish gallop," demonstrating intellectual acumen and critical thinking skills.

The Gish Gallop isn't a logical fallacy. It's a debating technique available to someone arguing the anti-science side, that leverages the fact that it's much quicker to tell a lie than it is to explain why it's false.

So in an equal time debate, a person arguing against science can make it seem as though they've made a whole stack of points, and while they aren't all 100% watertight, only minority of them have a scientific refutation. Just by talking a whole lot of bullshit, fast.
