The antivaxers are not unlike climate change alarmists in many respects.



If buy antivaxxers, you mean people spreading conspiracy nonsense that they apparently believe....then yes. They are every bit as bad as the evangelical climate change fanatics.

If you are talking about people that decided not to get the vaccine after weighing the known risk of Covid against the known risk of the vaccine...then no. They are far from it.

Isn't that the problem, very little is known about the vaccine?

Don't really care if the individual chooses not to get vaccinated.

But I care if they make that decision based on shitty information spread by people that either don't understand statistics or have a political axe to grind.

That is crazy. No one in the news is saying that. You don't see that at any reputable online site. You can't find that info on google. You are a crazy, kook, tinfoil hat wearing, conspiracy theorist. That all sounds familiar.

Where the hell have you been. What you call a conspiracy theory today is common knowledge a few months from now.

You are the sheep.

If they are spreading conspiracy theories and shoddy information to justify their decision. Try to keep up. It's in plain text.

Why do people like you feel the urge to come here and ask the same question almost daily?

Like what, like the lies about vents, da curve, testing, masks, social distancing, 15 day lock downs, etc.

Exactly what are you referring to?

Nah..I'd know if I cared if they get vaccinated. I don't really.

I am concerned with the shitty information being spread about vaccines though. And I'd expect a lot of people on this board to be more sensitive to faulty or biased information given the level of bullshite that Trump supporters had to endure for the last 5 years.

Its almost like an unvaccinated person asked your opinion on something.



I thought this was a forum for sharing ideas. I see countless anti-vaxxer threads on here even though I didn't ask about them.

Anti-vax folks don’t realize they’re actually spreading Chinese propaganda about the vaccine.

Even less was known about Trump's miracle cure and it's effects on COVID patients.

Yet every Trumpkin on this board was all about it.

Don't understand statistics?

Like freaking out about a virus with a 99.7% survival rate?

Like slamming on the brakes of the economy for an infection whose real mortality rate is less than that of an average year's automobile fatalities when you take co-morbidities out?

Or are you meaning ones like how despite the pandemic, 2020 had no more significant deaths than any other of the past 5 years?

Which statistics do we not understand? Because those seem pretty fricking remarkable.

Yes you do, and you haven't said exactly what the shitty information is yet.

I might agree with you, what is this shitty information again in particular.
