  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

Here, you can look up some of the info.

They are not experimental.

You don't need a 2 year study, as again, no vaccine has had significant side effects after 6 weeks, we are well past that.

Not experimental, and yet--
A majority of vaccinated people in hospitals/morgues means it's effective.

Israel is experiencing something otherwise:

His message was meant for his fellow Israelis, but it is a warning to the world. Israel has among the world’s highest levels of vaccination for COVID-19, with 78% of those 12 and older fully vaccinated, the vast majority with the Pfizer vaccine. Yet the country is now logging one of the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people. More than half are in fully vaccinated people, underscoring the extraordinary transmissibility of the Delta variant and stoking concerns that the benefits of vaccination ebb over time.
AAAS

"More than half" are fully vaccinated.

Thanks. I didn’t think the info was available. I was correct.

So no response to your claim which was shown to be wrong?
Okay, my post was wrong. So everyone should be forced to get vaccinated to protect a very small minority?

What about the welfare of those who've never found baptist preachers credible? (Just asking for half of America.)
Not relevant. Credibility, in these cases, doesn’t matter.

But it has to be understood by what they meant, not changing their intentions to what you want it to be.

They are dead -- we are alive.

For the Constitution to be relevant in the here and now, it must be interpreted in the here and now.

It promotes the general welfare.

It promotes the welfare of Baptist preachers.

Not being a Baptist preacher myself, how does it help me?

Everyone would be taught truth, rather than government indoctrination. That would be beneficial for the entire country.

I didn't know you were a Baptist.

It used to be that way in America's early days. The bible was read and taught in school. Kids didn't shoot up schools back then.

Hard to shoot up a school with a musket.

Now they're being indoctrinated with racist superiority/inferiority and being taught that they're not actually boys or girls. No wonder kids are so confused--and they'll be the ones running the country in 20 years.

I can't wait; it'll be a great improvement.

Wonder what other freedoms people are willing to give up if the end of medical privacy and forced vaccinations are tolerable now?

Maybe the freedom to be unvaccinated and spread preventable diseases to other people children? Oh, wait, nope, we've already lost the "freedom" to to that long ago.

It's all well and good to bring up vague leading questions about "freedoms", but perhaps being more specific would lead to a more useful discussion.

1. The First Amendment explicitly prohibits such a mandate, and
2. I'm not seeing the connection... ;)
Wait, you're not aware of all of the peer reviewed medical research showing how effective attending a particular brand of church is in preventing covid?

Yeah, me neither.

"More than half" are fully vaccinated.

If 80% of the population is vaccinated but make up only 60% of cases, that means it is working.

But of course the actual details are a bit more nuanced than this simplistic sound bite, given that both the risks associated with covid and the vaccination rate varies with age.

Why would you even question the government? They obviously know what’s best for you.
