It was already on the scale of a cold approximately for some 90%+ of people. This virus is mild or asymptomatic in the vast majority of cases and that has been apparent for a long time. The only possible justification for vaccines at this point is to minimize overloading of hospitals because of the contagious nature of the virus, the overall complication rate is still very low. >anti-vaxxers (among a lot of things with them). They don't want the shots because a) COVID is just a flew (and simultaniously a deadly bio weapon the Chinese spread in order to win a global economic war...) Maybe the problem is that people who are against covid vaccines are being a) slandered as anti-vaxxers and b) lumped in with all sorts of other conspiracists.

I am not aware of a common cold that resulted in hospitals being overloaded to the point planned surgery needed to be postponed. Severe cases maybe a rather small percentage, yet in absolute numbers they are big enough to be real problem. Well, if I were an anti-vaxxer, why would being called one be a slander? Either I am one or not. And yes, they are conspiracy theorists, even worse they are of becoming even more radical every day. But thanks for showing again the main problem I have with them: pure egoism. Covid wont be an issue for me (singing in the dark, lalala), so screw everyone else.

  >I am not aware of a common cold that resulted in hospitals being overloaded to the point planned surgery needed to be postponed. Severe cases maybe a rather small percentage, yet in absolute numbers they are big enough to be real problem. Which is exactly what I wrote. The problem with covid is its rate of spread, the actual complication rate per infection is very low. That's why I explicitly said the only possible justification for vaccines now is to prevent hospital overload. >Well, if I were an anti-vaxxer, why would being called one be a slander? Either I am one or not No, this isn't binary. Not all vaccines are created equal, and it is perfectly rational to be in support of vaccination in general but against covid vaccines. To blindly group such people with antivaxxers is disingenuous.
