I'm really concerned that some of you can't follow this simple approach. I assume your lives are a complete mess if you don't utilize rational thought when weighing risks and rewards.
Medical Professionals - Medical Doctors - now Pilots.
It's not uneducated people not willing to vaccinate.
Why are highly educated, very well paid professionals refusing?
Thoughts?
For the record, he never told anyone to drink bleach.If the President stood in front of a podium and said that, I wouldn't be too surprised if someone did it. SOME people managed to even drink bleach after he suggested it.
But I don't listen to politicians; I'll listen to doctors thank you.
All major religions predate vaccination, it would be pretty hard for them to have a stance on it. Also we should not base critical public policy on a religious belief but on empirical evidence.There should be a religious exception.
Facepalm. Just because a religion predates vaccines doesn't mean that it has nothing to say about them.All major religions predate vaccination, it would be pretty hard for them to have a stance on it. Also we should not base critical public policy on a religious belief but on empirical evidence.
1. The vaccine makes it much less likely that a person catches covid, if enough people are vaccinated then the R0 spread goes way down, this reduces the impact on hospitals, if enough people take the vaccine then R0 potentially goes below 1 and the disease will die out from society.IMHO,They are beginning to think for themselves.
1. The "vaccine" does not prevent one from catching covid.
2. The "vaccine" does not prevent one from passing the virus to others.
"3. Treatments for the virus are available.
For the record, he never told anyone to drink bleach.
To make this conclusion you would be better to know what percentage of highly educated medical proffessionals are refusing to take vaccines.Probably because such people have studied the matter more closely, taken in findings and results from a variety of different sources, and concluded that the case for universal "immunization" has not been made.
rder to force people at the threat of loosing their livelihood, freedom to move unfettered is beyond the scope of his executive powers.
Make your personal choice, make your choice and then live with your choice.
As for the outcry of infecting others, if masking is effective and you are wearing one, why would you worry about what I do?
as you stated, you are not a medically trained person, neither am I. Why should I listen to you?
To make this conclusion you would be better to know what percentage of highly educated medical proffessionals are refusing to take vaccines.
Not ironically, in the VAST majority of cases, yes, the majority is always right.Why? Is the majority always right?
Without seeing the science and research that was employed coming to that conclusion, seems like I couldn't say much other than likely not given that science ALSO is a learning field where new information changes paradigms. But htat doesn't happen that often.When the majority of medical professionals were endorsing cocaine based cough syrup, were they correct?
You say that as a truth but that is a statement comes out of ignorance of how fields of science function, to say nothing of the scientific method and course of researching.I say that as an example, the truth of the matter is that science is not a majority based discipline.
Yes sir! But not everything. Some pieces of knowledge stand the test of time.You can easily go back and listen to the experts share what they believe is accurate and just weeks later in come cases it completely changes.
Sorry but you are in America where it is fully legal to demand vaccination as a pre-requisite to doing things. We already do that for school. George Washington put a mandate on his troops for smallpox vaccination.
You lost that particular battle long ago.
Because I'm sick and tired of living in near permanent lockdown because morons won't do simple things to make the situation better.
Given that you are a medical science illiterate if you see two competing opinions in the sciences the rational approach is to behave in such a way that if you are wrong there will be LESS NEGATIVE IMPACT.
If you wear a mask and it is ineffective you are only out a mild inconvenience. If you refuse to wear a mask and you are wrong people die.
Is that clear enough for you?
Why? Is the majority always right?
When the majority of medical professionals were endorsing cocaine based cough syrup, were they correct?
I listen to the experts. Generally speaking, the consensus view is the correct one. In this particular case, the naysayers have not come up with anything that sways me, but I do keep an open mind and see what they're saying.
EXCELLENT point.No, but this very thread is predicated on the excellent and correct idea that experts exist. They are highly educated and trained in a specific body of knowledge that is relevant to the problem of healthcare.
Why are highly educated and trained professionals refusing to vaccinate?
Most experts are not only gladly accepting the vaccine, they are actively promoting vaccination as part of our strategy to combat this disease. A few are contrarians.
For people like me, who aren't doctors or epidemiologists or vaccine experts, I listen to the experts. Generally speaking, the consensus view is the correct one. In this particular case, the naysayers have not come up with anything that sways me, but I do keep an open mind and see what they're saying.
Were they doing so? Before the FDA, all sorts of things were sold over the counter and advertised as cure-alls. Mrs Winslow's morphine drops to keep kids quiet was probably endorsed by Mrs Winslow, but was it endorsed by 'a majority of medical professionals'?
Well, from one medical science illiterate to another - I think you are wrong, just as much as you think I am wrong.
Such high drama in a statement not backed by science. You should come to a state and live in the freedom we enjoy.
Hey! so do I! We have just come to different conclusions.
