When the wheels finally fall off of this "vaccine" fallacy I'm just waiting for the blame Trump narrative. It's coming, mark my words.

Your position, to be clear, is that the first two fires were not prevented because a third happened after the fact?

You don't get guarantees about anything, especially something as complex as the human immune system. If you want a guarantee, go see Tommy Boy.

You’re just a little bit off on the argument you think I’m making

My argument isn’t about efficacy

My argument is, a vaccine according to that early definition was designed to prevent infection (prophylaxis) even to the point of being a cure.

So back to the analogy, if you wore a prophylactic, which by definition is designed to prevent disease, and you catch an STD, would you say the prophylactic worked?

i'm done with the "advice from CDC of the hour"

every time i watch the news, they have a different idea, sometimes in the same day. just saw Psaki tell us that no matter what the CDC says, go get your booster. well, hell, why have the CDC/NIH/FDA, we'll just do what the press secy tells us, even if it contradicts what the experts are saying.

if you want to get the cootie shot, get it. if you want to wear a mask, wear it. if not, don't.

educate, inform, let people act in their own best interests.

I'll add to that no person should be punished for either choice.

Let's just hope SCOTUS sees it the same way on Friday.

Just got over my mild case of smallpox. Thankful, because now I have rubella and certainly did not want them at the same time...

I had a mild case of polio last month. Good thing I got the vaccine or it might have been worse.

With encouraging prophylactic stories like this Biden will reach his 100% “no excuse not to” vaccination goal soon!

If I had sex once, with a prophylactic, and caught an STD, then no, in that instance the prophylactic failed.

If I went to Amsterdam and got it on with 100 hookers and didn't get an STD, then yes the prophylactics worked.

You have to be ridiculously naïve to think that any form of prophylaxis against anything is 100% effective in all circumstances. That doesn't mean they are not prophylactic measures, or not best practices.

Without delving into the strains the vaccine contained and what made people sick:

Flu 2020-2021

So clearly some precautions reduced the flu. Vaccines? Maybe. Masks? Maybe. Handwashing? Maybe. Social distancing? Maybe.

Point being you don't get any guarantees in life.
