Even modern flu, my doctor tells me that the vaccine may not prevent the flu. But I will have acquired immunity that should prevent it from being severe. There are no absolutes on either side. I did not and do not live my life any differently, glued to the news, waiting for someone to tell me to come out from under the bed. Nor am I living my life trying to play “gotcha” with every headline I see from either side. Covid will not go away. It will become endemic. Life will go on. |

A condition of my employment was getting blood work done to check for immunity against specific diseases. At the time I thought it was silly because I had my vaccination record which clearly showed I had had all my vaccinations (from childhood up into adulthood). Weeeeeeelllll…I actually had to redo my hep B vaccine because my blood work showed that I no longer had immunity, despite having had the full series of vaccines as a child. |

Definitions aside, we've been told for nearly two years that it would "stop the spread" if everyone got vaccinated, then it moved to if everyone got boosted, and now there's talk of boosters every six months forever. The Covid vaccines don't stop the spread, they reduce the severity of disease in most who get them. We're still told - constantly - by the media, politicians and most medical personnel that we need to get vaxxed to stop the spread - all while the spread keeps increasing as more people get vaxxed.
Stopping the spread strongly implies that a vaxxed person can't get or transmit the virus, which has been proven to be absolutely wrong. |

As you move through the 90’s into 2000s that definition slowly became watered down to what we have today, with folks claiming the Covid vaccine “worked” because it lessened symptoms If you used a prophylactic and caught only half the amount of crabs, would you say it worked? Of course not, but that’s the mentality now because science has an agenda In a prior discussion somebody over there gave a link to a modern definition of prophylactic, so even that concept has been watered down. My speculation is science adjusted their standards so they would be wrong less. |

They could repeat to me a hundred times that it would stop the spread and I would take it with a grain of salt every time. Any adult should know that vaccines are neither absolute nor foolproof. Understand that and make a risk based decision from there. |

That is correct. Now tell me, what happened with the people that got one of the 4 correct guesses?

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. |

Smokey the Bear is a damn liar.
He said "Only you can prevent forest fires" when he actually meant "Only you can reduce the magnitude of a forest fire from full devastation of 7-8 million acres, to partial devastation of 15 million acres". |

Some entire countries, like China, Australia and New Zealand have a "zero Covid" policy where they actually believe they can eradicate from an entire country and prevent every case. Yeah, good luck with that. |

There is a very fuzzy definition of the word "prevent" being floated about.
This should help... pre·vent /prəˈvent/ verb 1. keep (something) from happening or arising. I don't see the word "sometimes" in that definition. I don't see anything addressing frequency either. It's a pretty cut and dry definition. |

I'm going to take a break for a moment and make a different point.
In case it is unclear, these discussions do not in any way impact my opinion of anyone on this forum. We are all free thinkers and all entitled to our individual opinions. Some like green beans, some don't. I don't think less of those that hate green beans. I may find it curious, but it has no impact. This topic is very polarizing and I don't want it to polarize any forum friendships. It may be time for me to exit the discussion because I don't want the polarization. I don't want my mind closed and I don't want anyone else's closed either. I am ALWAYS responding while simultaneously considering the other perspective. It is a trait I appreciate in most every conservative I know. We will challenge our own thoughts and our own opinions while gathering information and other perspectives. Gropehog brothers and sisters. Let's not let this get CFOT ugly. |
