But last year, everything was shut down. There were no large gatherings, no live concerts, sports events. Mask mandates were in place, etc. It stands to reason that even with a vaccine, cases would persist. Especially considering half the country refuses to get the vaccine. But there are fewer deaths last I checked. It's hard to have a civil conversation with people who don't even argue in good faith. Folks here gave you statistics that you dismiss as "Russo-Chinese-Nazi disinformation" conspiracies. But you won't source anything you're saying.

How much of the lower death rate is from the demographics who were most acutely vulnerable to the disease dying of it in the first wave and not being around to die of it again? The vast majority of the population is at a statistically negligible chance to die from it in the first place, so there’s little point in anyone outside the high risk demographic taking it. If it doesn’t prevent or slow transmissions to any significant extent, only lessen their severity, then there’s no “herd immunity” effect from everyone taking it - and thus no moral imperative for everyone to get it.

You're making assumptions rather than citing sources. A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others. - CDC Unvaccinated people "are far more likely to become infected, fall seriously ill and spread the virus." - USA Today Vaccinated people are significantly less likely to transmit the virus because they’re less likely to be infected to begin with. When they do have covid, vaccinated people likely aren't infected as long as unvaccinated. Viral loads diminish quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is good reason for everybody to get vaccinated because it does reduce the likelihood of getting sick and die and if you are vaccinated and get sick you are less likely to spread it to others.

Top-Hatted One Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) ^that qoute from USA Today(NY Times Lite) is very misleading suggesting that in-vaxxed are more likely to get infected. Not true. more severe, symptoms, death maybe. Depending on age and existing Heath conditions. also there’s a difference between affected and infected. it’s still 10-14 days of quarantine with or with vax Edited August 10, 2021 by Top-Hatted One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 5 hours ago, Pedrolg said: Americans have been so fortunate to have two of the most effective vaccines massively deployed very fast, and yet sheer idiocy is jeopardizing the country's (and, to an extent, humanity's) only known response to the pandemic. It is hard to watch. A private event requesting proof of vaccination being treated as some sort of massive personal violation, people taling about presenting fake proof of vaccination, torturing numbers to deny the correlation between vaccines and a drastic reduction in the death/cases ratio. Just good, old fashioned, pure idiocy, paid for in deaths, by the thousands, every day. This post is a violation of my HIPAA rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize how silly you sound when your conspiracy is that the governments and media across the entire world have gotten together to push the narrative of a deadly virus, shutting down businesses, travel, sports, all in an effort to ensure a financial boon to public health care? The US government has foot the bill for the vaccines, the syringes, etc. to provide them at no cost to people to try to keep people out of hospitals.
