[QUOTE="probinson, post: 76856446, member: 121249"] Absolutely. By ignoring the broken promises of the COVID vaccines and conflating COVID vaccines with every other effective vaccine we have, vaccine zealotry is undoing decades of progress in the overall vaccination programs. This is why we're beginning to see the re-emergence of diseases that were all but eradicated. Mandating and coercing people to be vaccinated against their will was always a recipe for broken trust and failure, and the inevitable outcome of that broken trust is people wondering what else they've been lied to about. Now, other vaccines that have ABSOLUTELY proven effective are being questioned and shunned in greater numbers than ever before. This is a direct result of the destruction of trust in public health. You are desperately attempting to cling to the collapsing belief that vaccines will prevent you from getting infected. We know that's not true. Yet here you are saying, "Look at this study from last year that examined 2 months! Vaccines prevent infections!" It's nonsense, and everyone knows it's nonsense. Heck, I think even you have to know that it's nonsense, which makes me wonder why you continue to pretend like it's true. Instead of clinging to the demonstrably false assertion that the vaccine will prevent you from being infected, it would be far better to tell people that they'll almost certainly get infected whether they're vaccinated or not, but if they're vaccinated, they'll have a better chance of avoiding severe disease and/or death. It would also be wise to be honest about prior infection, and recognize that prior infection does confer protection as well. Honesty is always the best policy. This continued assertion that COVID vaccines have not completely failed to stop infections is counterproductive in the extreme and will cause far more vaccine hesitancy and shunning than any anti-vaxxer could ever hope to achieve.
