    My bad I deleted that question after noticing you already answered it in some earlier posts.  Based on what I'm able to decipher from your replies I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree on pretty much everything, though for what is worth you seem like a very interesting person! 

    No problems there, being able to agree to disagree keeps the channels of communication open, so important, its always my goal. 

     

    Appreciate the sentiment. I tell the strippers when they come sit down looking for money, I'm the most interesting person they'll meet tonight, and that's how I'm paying. 9.9 times out of ten, they get naked, and leave entertained when my food shows up (the real reason I'm there). Edit: note, I haven't been to sit down since Feb 2020 when the wife I went. We have gone to pick up food a couple time. Covid precautions.

    What data specifically is informing your decision to stay unvaxxed? What sources are you reading, watching, etc?

    CDC (data, high level individuals inside), NIH (published studies, etc..), Cleveland Clinic (doctors | executive management inside), data out of Israel. From a data perspective its the survivability rate; its just not something that is an issue for the vast majority of the population, especially the buckets with which I am in, so it doesn't drive a cause for action. 

     

    You know what, I'll agree that, because I'm generally healthy, fit, with no underlining conditions, I can "selfishly" wait and see as more information comes. Lord willing, I can live with that. 

     

    Have to make this clear; I'm not against it for people that are at risk (not an anit-vaxxer | masker), I'm just not keen on it for me at the moment (based on the current information available).

    Question Mark What GIF by MOODMAN

    Oh yeah, my favorite godlikeproductions.com ( @Commissar SFLUFAN apologies if posting this is not allowed) is beyond hilarious. End up there looking to build a DIY observatory on the family land; a couple people on the site have observatories that you can remote in and use; found the other content and get a good laugh at least once a month.

    I would get a booster EVERY GODDAMNED MINUTE OF THE DAY to say classified as vaccinated.

    See that's just crazy to me.

     

    But I've never taken a flu shot, I don't really do medicine (like I said, taking a generic Tylenol while I had Covid was the first time since 2008), its just not something I've had to do. ~2 gal of water, prescribed D2, Vitamin C, and Niacin (flushing), and Zinc (occasionally) is my daily regiment, and its work well for 15 years; usually only get sick when I miss it (makes since, I've conditioned my body to need the input). 

     

    So to sign up to need something from the government to stay "healthy", I'm not interested; once you are in, you can't get out. One and done (or at least an end in sight), I'd be OK with. When that comes, and other issues have been vetted, I'll roll up my sleeve.

    Out of all the baffling shit in the last two pages, the fact someone under like 50 doesn't know what The Onion is in 2021 is the wildest to me. I'm dieing to find out how that could've happened.  

     

    Its not something I've every clicked, its likely that I've seen articles posted but thought the content was silly so I skipped over it. I don't really do "the internet." What I go to is fairly curated; financial news, supply chain | operations news, video game news, and funny racist sites.

    You quantified your reasoning to not get vaccinated earlier by saying the science and math align with your opinion, and you don't see how getting vaccinated would benefit the greater good.

     

    This data (a five second google search away) proves that your claim is false, even as far as the delta variant is concerned (and yes, 66% effectiveness is still a dramatic improvement over no vaccination at all) .

    This report describes COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in adults aged 65 years and older.

    WWW.WSJ.COM

    Here is what we know about how well the major Covid-19 vaccines perform against the Delta variant, both in terms of preventing infection and preventing serious illness.

     

    You now have no excuse to be willfully ignorant. If you still choose to not get vaccinated, you're objectively doing so out of a personal truth with a flawed and demonstrably harmful premise that's putting yourself and people around you in jeopardy and contributing to Covid mutating and being harder to deal with.  Believe what you want, but almost all the points you've made in this thread are operating from feels over reals reasoning, and that's why your takes are getting pushback in this thread. ^_^

     

    Naw, I don't generally don't operate on feels, its a waste of energy and leads you to making rushed decisions most of the time. I like to take my time and study the information; I give all points opportunities. In this case, the numbers state I'll likely be alright; that's just not something that can be refuted with all the current data available. This allows me time to investigate the information as it comes. 

     

    Just curious of you all, if you have to get six month or yearly boosters to stay classified as "vaccinated" would you? (Fauci on the number of boosters... unknown 7:00)

    Even beyond that, would you have if you didn't get the shot at the time of little information. Been reading back through, you all were definitely thinking (celebrating) no mask, removed restrictions, no catching, no passing, etc...

    You know the Onion is a satirical site, right?

    I do now (thank you sir/ma'am/person), not familiar with Onion; also didn't catch the site when reading the clipped post (I see it now).

     

    I did think the job that was mentioned was silly and wondered why she would go that route, but left it to each their own. So it got me, but my point still stands.

    BOSTON—Explaining that she felt more firm standing by her principles given the healthy job market, unvaccinated United Airlines flight attendant Erin Collins told reporters Thursday that she was confident she could get work drifting between European ports aboard a medieval plague ship. “Yeah, I figure all I need…

     

    She'll likely be OK. With the labor conditions as they are, she'll find a job paying close to what she makes, maybe more; if the mandates "take" there is going to be a lot of under the table money passed along to those that are interested in doing (much like the undocumented worker).

    No it's not we're just good at driving them off. 

    I would say more so keeping them but moving goal post to appear right. But whatever its been entertaining for years. I wouldn't ask for a different bunch individual group thinkers; though I would bring back a couple that I really enjoyed (Irreverant (sp?), dude / lady with the Jaguars mascot avatar, muscly dude that lives in BMore that gave me dining recommendation, the Virgin Mary burier). 

     

    Spoiler

    Said in jest, I genuinely have enjoyed you all through the years.

    Statistics. 

    Oooo, that could be really dangerous for a large amount people (but statistically small), touches on that empathy piece Citizen mentioned. 

     

    Unempathetic me would have been all about letting natural statistics take its course in this (and many) situation.

     

    But I try not to go full Daniel Planview (one of my all time favorite characters), even if I get the rationale.

    Everyone that hasn't gotten the vaccine says they aren't at high risk and they aren't really worried about getting sick, but they're all still perfectly willing to fill up hospitals across the nation stopping people with unavoidable maladies from getting the help they need and causing needless suffering. It's the "I don't care if others suffer if it saves me from a temporary, minor inconvenience" from modern day religious types that leave so many of our churches empty.

     

     

    Whose to say what is avoidable and what isn't, who should be where and who shouldn't; I wont be the one to do so, as that becomes a slippery slope. I'm just stating I'll participate in the system where allowed.

     

    Quite a leap you take there though.
