Good, there's no excuse outside of medical reasons to not be vaccinated in the United States at this point. And that's all I'll say, I'm not interested in derailing a thread with political garbage when it should only be medical truths.
Fair.
So what is the medical truth. Will getting a shot prevent you from getting it or spreading it and how many shots does it take. Those are the multi-billion dollar questions many are asking.
It's a controversial issue because of so many sources of information and illogical decisions.
No, it's controversial because of politics and identity. I also don't want to derail things but the truth is most people - and I mean almost everyone - are sheep. We're just part of different flocks. You can justify any position no matter how nonsensical, and people will tend to justify those positions they have -- which are just the positions their flocks have.
If you think you're an independent thinker, I guarantee you're part of a flock of "independent thinkers," or several such flocks. And if you want to talk logic, I'll just say to beware of motivated reasoning or "cherrypicking," the genealogical fallacy and most of all,
ad hoc. Does one not believe in science unless and until a study supports one's position? Does one use a particular principle to defend a position and then invent reasons why the same principle does not apply to the next situation? Are your beliefs and thoughts a big puzzle that you spend time trying to figure out, or is the scaffolding of your mind rickety or bare but nonetheless capable of reaching lofty heights?
If your goal is to be correct, the first step is to be humble. And don't open your mind so much that your brain falls out. From where I stand, I see our society collapsing under the weight of sheer, stubborn stupidity and willful blindness. Is that how Rome fell? Because too many Romans were infected by mass hysterical stupidity? Don't believe I've read that anywhere. Guess it'll just be another remarkable new path trailblazed by America.
