| > No vaccine prevents transmission. Wrong. Some viruses don't get transmitted if the person is not symptomatic, even if there's an infection. Your lack of understanding belies your argument. > Ask yourself what the efficacy would need to be for you to be pro-vax-mandate. I suspect I already know the answer. Well, first of all, the vaccine has to be: * effective, * free of major side effects, * for a virus that kills a large portion of the infected and that kills more than just the elderly and obese, * and not mandated for people to actually live. The COVID shots and mandates did not meet any of those requirements. And if you complain that my last requirement is too much, remember that in the United States, the Federal Government has severe limits on its power on purpose. Sure, the government should be able to prevent unvaccinated people from accessing government facilities, but only temporarily (while the pandemic is going on) because the government has jurisdiction over those things. But it does not have jurisdiction over telling businesses who they can and cannot do business with. |
