People act like it’s a dichotomy, either covid or the vaccine. The risk assessment should be made considering waning immunity, variants, etc. But no one can call this out without being censored for being anti vax. This is a dangerous precedent we are opening.

Waning immunity is overblown, and while variants might somewhat evade both natural immunity and vaccine immunity, that risk doesn't change the calculus around whether to protect yourself now against the known variants.

These are really anti-vax talking points, attempts to justify an anti-vax position. They're not imaginary concerns, but they also don't justify the former.

I always support talking about things transparently without censorship, period. But at the same time I acknowledge there's a lot of misinformation out there and most people are unable to distinguish what is important and relevant from what is not. Including myself.
