People talked about 'saving granny' to get you to comply with Covid restrictions but now there's literally granny's dying in India and we're giving the vaccine to perfectly healthy people in America and no one gives it a second thought!
Meanwhile, under 55 age group has a fatality chance of Covid that is less than dying in a car accident and will develop immunity after natural infection. And the under 55 age group makes up over 80% of the population.
I completely agree about fact based realities needing to take hold again!
I think we may be in a post-truth society and all that matters to people is what's the news media report instead of actual science and statistics.
The upside to people getting their reality from the media is that when the news media quits reporting on an issue it will be COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT, much like darfur, metoo, blm, starving children, dead innocent civilians in the middle east.
Poof it will just vanish in the wind as long as the politicians don't make it actionable.
So just hold out for a bit longer and the news media will stop reporting on Covid and switch to a new topic that people can be outraged over.
And no one will care at all about your vaccine.
- skeeter2020 5y agoWhat about the fact that a VERY small sacrifice on your part of getting a vaccine plays a VERY small part in preventing an older or compromised person from getting VERY sick? > we're giving the vaccine to perfectly healthy people in America and no one gives it a second thought! You always give vaccines to healthy people. >> And no one will care at all about your vaccine. I'm quite confident you'll get a vaccine when you need proof to go on your week's vacation to some beach country, or any similar personal impact.
- nickthemagicman 5y ago>> You always give vaccines to healthy people. Directly from your previous sentence: "preventing an older or compromised person from getting VERY sick" (disengenuous of you) >>I'm quite confident you'll get a vaccine.... Don't be. This will all but forgotten in a few months. :)
