Case in point.

No one gonna mention that during covid last year only 1800 flu cases and the year before covid hit over 36 million. Really makes you wonder

I do care about other deaths, so where's the case in point?

Want to guess why?

Dammit, you all have pulled Dunger into the conversation. Let the shit show begin!

Pete vs staylor

So, I totally understand how you'd feel that way and it's entirely logical, but it's also not really accurate.

First, we know the vaccine is not 100% effective solely based on the trial results. Some people just don't take to the vaccine and develop antibodies to ward off covid. So if you get it and you happen to be around one of these people, it's entirely possible you can transmit it to that person.

Second, and more importantly, there's the risk of variants. Let's take a situation where 5pct of the population takes the vaccine and 95pct don't. You then have 95pct of the population as a petri dish for the virus to continue to mutate, find ways around previously developed antibodies, etc until it's possible there's a new variant that's able to overcome the vaccine. That's highly likely. Take the flip side of that where 95pct get vaccinated and 5pct don't and that petri dish becomes a lot smaller and risk of these mutations is similarly reduced.

That's kinda why people who take the vaccine still have a stake in whether you take the vaccine or not.
