Alright let's compare and contrast
Sam's Covid Strategy
Masks - useless
Herd Immunity is best - natural antibodies triggered by "natural" pathogens
Vaccines - natural antibodies triggered by "synthetic" pathogens : BAD as long terms results unknown . Science is never settled
BUT : a lot of high risk immunocompromised people will die in your strategy. Tough tits. Life is not fair. People die everyday anyway. Suck it up
Government Strategy
Masks - critical as it limits airborne spread and mitigates daily numbers
Vaccines - critical as it prevents serious symptoms and overloading of hospital resources
THEREFORE : less people die and herd immunity is achieved in a measured calibrated way so we may go back to normal
PLUS : Pfizer mRNA is FDA certified safe and already mandatory in many US institutions
Which one has better optics for the government of the day ?
Honestly if you were left in charge bubonic plague will still be around
We do not yet know which strategy will result in less deaths.
And I'm all for vaccines so you're misquoting me in saying that vaccines are bad. All I said was the long term effects of mRNA vaccines are unknown. I've had just about every single vaccine that is available to date the latest being an updated shingles vaccine and Pneumovax which is a pneumonia vaccine.
