These are people who took medical advice from a morbidly-obese dementia patient after all, can't expect less than seven degrees of separation from reality with them.
Conspiracy theorists have yet to provide any real studies, facts, or basis in reality. You can do the normal shit you do but that doesn't change the fact that not a single real study has come out of anti-vaxxors. Simply put, until they actually post something peer-reviewed and legit, there's no reason to take them seriously. Thus far it's been 3 years of complete nonsense and fear-mongering. I am willing to bet you won't provide real sources, studies, or anything to counter me, you will just reply with the normal shit you post. In fact, I am willing to bet that every conspiracy theorist in this thread will do the same as well. Because it's been 3 years of the same back and forth with anti-vaxxors proving absolutely nothing of value.
It's an intellectual high ground, actually. Not that it takes an extraordinary intellect to discern that all the most notable anti-vaxxers on TV and social media are themselves vaccinated and up-to-date on their boosters. They're willing to take chances with others' health/lives because it's profitable, but not their own.
"Embracing child sacrifice," he says. Thank you for demonstrating your detachment from reality. With it comes higher susceptibility to misinformation.
Not at all, there are good people with poor critical thinking skills out there. That said, they'd probably choose to vaccinate out of empathy for the immuno-compromised if nothing else.
You seem like you would enjoy bringing sand to the beach. Why would you expect a sound argument from an anti-vaxxer, on the gbatemp politics section of all places? Even the pro-vax people here tend to be rather uninformed.
This is key and the answer to your question. Children aren't likely to die from COVID-19 or its variants and never have been. They are likely to catch and spread it, however, to people who are more likely to die or have complications from it.
bazamuffin me owd sunbeam!! Good to hear from you! I was getting worried: according to half of the idiots on here you should be dead by now....
...or at least you would have killed off all your older friends and family - I'm guessing not judging by that post ofCampbell seemed fairly trustworthy early on during the pandemic. Unfortunately, as time went on his folksy "interpretations" of medical studies left scientific methodology behind and started down the conspiracy path and he gained lots of antivaxxer fans. Take a look at Back to the Science and Debunk the Funk on YT for some scientific critique.
Children are virus magnets surrounded by other virus magnets at school. It's entirely nonsensical to leave them unvaccinated and force them to deal with the worst possible symptoms of COVID. That tactic had a lot of unforeseen consequences when it came to chickenpox, as well.
