Actually mrdeltoid was largely correct and your points seem a bit naïve. Let me try to explain.
Wrong COVID vaccines are not perfectly safe but do cause serious heart and blood vessel wall inflammation, especially in young active men and teenage boys.
True but the CDC has been wrong a lot on COVID. Remember when they said as soon as we most people vaxxed COVID would go away? Or that flimsy cloth face masks will prevent people from catching COVID? Vaccines do still make sense for older and sicker folks but not for school age kids. This is a huge mistake IMO.
Actually the truth is COVID ain't going away any time soon and as we have seen with the rapid spread of the delta variant this summer the vaccinated people spread it just as easily as do those who are not vaccinated and never infected. Why? Those folks are far more likely to get sick and stay home than the vaxxed people.
Well those parents and grandparents are the ones who should have been vaxxed. Kids are more likely to die if they catch the flu than if they catch COVID and we do not force kids to get flu shhots every year. And kids who get COVID vaccines are likely even more likely to pass COVID on to grandma in a nursing home because they shed as much virus but are even less likely to feel sick. Kids sick with a cold or flu or COVID ought not be visiting grand parents in a nursing home.
That would be true except the science shows vaxxed people shed as much COVID aerosols as the unvaxxed but are much less likely to be sick (or die). So I am all for older and sicker people getting vaccinated against COVID and the flu, but forcing healthy kids to get vaccinated is bad public policy.
Well not smallpox because it is pretty actually gone but I have no problem with requiring those other vaccines for kids in public schools. Indeed, given all the people coming here illegally from countries where these disease are still all too common it makes even more sense now thanks to the Biden open border policies.
Lets break these down:
You're referring to less than 1% of vaccinated people. Like I said before, if you have a history of getting major reactions to vaccine, I am perfectly fine with sitting this one out. No reasonable person will argue that you have to put something in your system which you're allergic to and could kill you. I am allergic to gluten and dairy. Nobody should force me to put those products in my system. However, if you're not allergic to the ingredients of the vaccine, you're perfectly safe. As noted, the FDA and CDC have cleared it for everybody 5 and up.
CDC has been wrong. That's not a debatable point. For example, the CDC made a mistake (which I called this ahead of time) of recommending states remove mask mandates for fully vaccinated people. All what they did was create a culture where people can lie and infect the nation. However, the examples you present and the right-wing are completely wrong/misleading. Covid first hit our shores in January of 2020. It was an unknown virus. We didn't want to run into mask shortages. We didn't even know if masks were the correct way to go. We didn't know how it was transmitted. But by April of 2020, they learned a lot and provided reasonable recommendations for protection. It allowed the nation to open up its doors and get the economy going again. This of course, has nothing to do with the validity of the vaccines. As noted, the FDA authorized the vaccines, not the CDC. They are not the ones who made calculated recommendations for states.
That's a hard disagree with only sick/elderly people should get vaccinated. Everybody should get vaccinated. Mass vaccinations have pretty much vanished most of the world's worst viruses. You not only need to stop the virus from constantly jumping from host to host, but the mutation.
Based on what I am reading here, I just don't think you grasp the nature of the Covid19 crisis and vaccine history.
Statistically, fully vaccinated people do have the ability to get Covid19. Most of the time, they do not experience a breakthrough infection. Bill Maher got covid and he had no symptoms. However, the immune-compromised/elderly can still be hospitalized and die from covid, even if they're fully vaccinated. An unvaccinated person puts the elderly and immune-compromised lives in danger. That's one of the many reasons why EVERYBODY needs to get vaccinated.
And btw, nobody has ever said the Covid19 vaccines are bullet proof. Nobody. The Delta Variant has lowered the efficiency rating, but it is still very high.
