I don't understand, the "vaccine"

This is exactly what I was wondering myself.

Because it’s not really about whether or not the vaccine works. It’s about compliance and conditioning.

Think about how much they are incentivizing people to get this vaccine, and now think about why.

Nothing but a political stunt. Lots of pockets getting lined over this stupid shot.

Let's not forget that the companies who made the vaccine are protected from being held liable for adverse effects.

Oh and it's stil not FDA approved.

Oh and the virus is a joke. The numbers are sketchy. The science is questionable.

If it works, then why do people who are "fully vaccinated" care that people are choosing not to get it? If you're vaccinated then you don't have to fear the unvaccinated right?

Because people not vaccinated will keep the virus circulating and it will mutate. Its possible one of the mutations will be able to bypass the vaccine antibodies and then we are back to square one.

So I have to put an untested, unapproved, experimental drug in my body so others can live? frick right off with that.

No one has been made to take it

I’m not anti vaccine and really didn’t care about the mask other than I didn’t like the government forcing it on me (didn’t try to rationalize that it didn’t work or makes you sick or any of that mess).

That said I don’t get it either about the crowd that’s vaccinated. We are quickly approaching the point where if you aren’t vaccinated it’s by choice. So why do the people who are protected by the vaccine care if unvaccinated people are giving it to one another?

I read rationales on the CDC tweet people were giving saying what about the kids (the virus poses no threat to them), immunocompromised people (well then they can wear a mask), and that by having an unvaccinated population the virus could morph within them and turn into a strain resistant to the vaccine.

I think mostly though they are clinging onto this love of fear and don’t want to let go. They don’t ever want to return to normal, so no use trying to rationalize it.

There are two public policy issue both revolve around "herd immunity:

1. There are people who can not take the vaccine for several reasons. They are also very likely to be in the groups that have the most likely chance of serious complications or death with COVID. They only get a significant level of protection when herd immunity is reached. This is a significant part of the reason children are routinely vaccinated for diseases that have been for most practical purposes eradicated in the US.

2. When herd immunity has been reached the chances of a more transmissible or more deadly mutation are significantly reduced.
