DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
I'd think the answer to that question would be obvious to someone who is skeptical of pharmaceutical companies. They view even a miniscule increase in positive outcomes as a win-win situation when it allows them to sell more product. This is somewhat commonly seen in their treatment of patents...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
@Balifrog Lol. Are you trolling me? That is a news article that contains an entire list of studies, all with their own hyperlinks....scroll down, mate. The part of the article with numbers in it (the important part) has seperate hyperlinks to all the studies I mentioned. As for the person who...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
No, mate. Because the unvaccinated are still more likely to become infected, after which they would then spread the disease. From HealthLine this bit is about the Pfizer vaccine, “study suggested that the vaccine was approximately 80 percent effective against preventing infection from the delta...- HappyMan

I honestly don't think this is true for your average "quasi-intellectual" liberal (how I would describe people who cite their sources in an argument). They like facts. They like bona fide experts. "We are entitled to our own facts" is a statement that has only ever made sense to the idiotic...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
Vaccinated people still less likely to contract the disease, less likely to suffer sever symptoms of the disease, and less likely to transmit the disease... But not by as much of a margin, when comparing Delta to other variants. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/29/cdc-mask-guidance/...- HappyMan

From Wikipedia, "Pfizer joined the Warp Speed program in July 2020, and signed a $1.95 billion contract to be paid out when the vaccine would be FDA approved, and included an initial order of 100 million vaccines." And from the Post, "Senior Biden administration officials say they have...- HappyMan

I don't remember hearing about him promoting vaccines "bigly", either. If he went after the anti-vaxxers on his preferred media outlets the same way he went after every mainstream journalist he encountered (like a pitbull after a porkchop), we would have had a bit less vaccine hesitancy among...- HappyMan

A ray of sunshine in the Covid Gloom
I know, right? Vegemite is clearly superior, as it's name sounds slightly less like an industrial cleaning product. More like an off-off-off-off-off-brand superhero, is Vegemite.- HappyMan

Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity
Let's just change that around to reflect humane priorities; "failure to pay taxes does not increase the possibility of infecting your neighbors with a deadly virus". Yeah, I'd agree, refusing the vaccine is worse than refusing to pay taxes. At least people who don't want to pay taxes can say...- HappyMan

That's it, really. When my kid is around I try not to cook the same thing more than once in two weeks (except breakfast). But with just me here... Tonight I braised a bunch of potatoes and onions and tossed in some green beans at the end. Served 1/3 of them with fried MaLing. Breakfast will be...- HappyMan

Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity
I'd posit that bullying, coercing, and shaming people into doing what is best for society as a whole is a pretty large portion of what the government does. Taxes, traffic laws, just about any sort of regulation on industry, even the little laws that prevent me from visiting a church stark naked...- HappyMan

Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity
If we get back to the main topic, what do you actually have to say about vaccines, their adverse reactions, and the necessity of vaccinating every person who does not a have a contraindicated condition? I think quite a few of us take the vaccine topic very seriously (I know that I do). Vaccine...- HappyMan
