Actually the purpose of vaccination is both. To stop you as an individual from getting severely ill and to stop you from getting infected & transmitting the disease to others. In fact the measurement of efficacy of a vaccine is based on both factors.
FALSE! If people will just give up the narrative that the vaccine is to save OTHER people from getting infected, the infection rates will drop like a brick. Nothing motivates people like motivated self-interest. I said this from the beginning of this stupid pandemic. Stop telling people that getting vaxxed will help others. It is to help yourself. We are a selfish people. If everyone hears the message that getting vaxxed will help JUST them selves, everyone will get it, and not rely on others to get it so THEY are safe.
We’ll explain to us why the official measurement of the scientific efficacy of a vaccine is based both on preventing severe illness and stopping the infection & transmission. And if you disagree on how this has been measured (for decades) then please inform the scientific community on why they are wrong to evaluate the efficacy in this manner. I am sure they will want to hear your expertise on the subject explaining why the entire medical & scientific community have been wrong for decades. While you are at it — tell them why the entire concept of herd immunity is wrong.
You are not hearing what I am trying to communicate. The reason the USA stopped at 66% COVID vaccine rate for the entire population is because the other 30% kept hearing the whole "you must do this for others so THEY do not get sick." If the message the entire time had been, "Get this so YOU do not get sick", (and made no mention of helping others), the vaccine rate would be +90%.
Fair point. But with the MAGA crowd I doubt whether either message would have much impact. The message about avoiding illness yourself may have worked with people who were not dithering on getting vaccinated due to politics.
Hey gwb, Can you please provide Clinical Trials that show the jabs are Save and Effective? Listen how quiet gwb gets at this point. He can't spout geeberish in answer to a yes or no question. So he don't say squat, lol. By the way , How 'bout you wrb? Whadda you got for us on that same question? Still quiet as a whore in church aint it, lol. Jive Turkeys, lol.
I disagree. I think this is more about personal safety than sending a political message, and the MAGA crowd would have acted differently had Trump said to the US..."Get it to protect yourself." Not Fauci and the others' messages about "protecting your neighbor."
Sorry, cannot do that. You cannot trademark a word on the forum, and that you had been doing it in the form of "FALSE"is why I do it. It's fun. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So you should be pleased! K, I have an idea. How about anytime I do the FALSE! and PRM bits, I use the ™ thing? hehe
