allowing anti-vaccine is irresponsible

thing is, both sides are using shame tactics on each other. that's what should be called out. you only have to look at the language the guy is using to feel the disdain and uppity'nesshe is projecting.
the thread came about because the guy wanted
to censor people who have thought about it and figured they wouldnt.
That's also what should be called out
I do agree vaccines have made a huge impact on our collective health.
I'm fine with shaming and being shamed. I'm fine with the full spectrum of emotions and because every emotion has their own strength and purpose.
I feel ashamed about how modern society is and it helps motivate me to at least try and do something productive to change it.
If we start being selective about what types of emotional tools should be restricted then that becomes the exact same thing as restricting freedom of speech.
Go ahead and shame me, I don't feel bad about being shamed on something that I truly believe in.
If you decide to come into my thread and feel like you're being shamed, and at any time you can leave but you decide to stay, that just tells me that something I'm saying is getting through to you.
In my humble opinion, the matter of vaccination is not about infringing individual rights, it's about establishing the consensus that we need to start viewing preventable diseases the same way the law perceives negligent behaviour.
In any other circumstance an innocent bystander is harmed by another person's negligence it is an offense to the law. I don't know why something like vaccinations should be separated from that consideration.

Okay, I might be wrong but I was under the impression he was advocating against the misinformation which antivaccers are notorious for sharing and using to shame parents into not vaccinating their children.
I am not an antivaccer; however, I honestly do not know if I'll get the COVID-19 vaccine. I have only been vaccinated once against the flu and I have never been sicker, being it's the only time I also had the flu. I haven't had it since.
I have a rare form of anaphylaxis asthma. I don't go around gasping when I have an attack; I literally swell up as though I've been stung by a bee; my throat will close off before my lungs ever do. There have been roughly two dozen reported cases of severe anaphylaxis reaction upon taking the vaccine. My doctor currently has me isolated until more information about both vaccines is available, after which time she will advise which way she feels I should go.
I cannot imagine this thread starter referring to me as an antivaccer asshole because I'm following my physician's recommendations in regards to not being vaccinated right now.
Again, I could be wrong.
I disagree with censorship in regards to a difference of opinion; however, I vehemently detest the dissemination of false information and feel it should not be allowed to stand. Particularly when such information has been proven false, and the poster refuses to retract based on free speech and censorship!
Yay for Twitter, Facebook, and the like for banning Trump's bullshit, as well as other individuals and organizations. Enough in this ever-growing world of faux news and fake screenshots riddled with misinformation and fear. Censorship against an opinion = bad; censorship against misinformation = hell yes.
I thought that's what this dude was referring to.

yeah I'm against spreading misinformation, and I believe that misinformation is a large reason why a lot of antivaxers believe what they do.
If people have legitimate medical concerns on their pre-existing concerns, then they already know they're exempt from the discussion.
This thread was meant to be my platform to try and refute and disseminate false information on COVID, and to promote vaccination, because at the heart of it vaccinations really is one of the greatest things to have ever happened in modern history, and every year that goes by scientific progress makes it safer and smarter.
The biggest argument I see against vaccines are the fringe cases where it doesn't work, or an intangible potential, and I think that presents people with false dilemmas.
and In regards to censorship, free-speech doesn't mean all speech. You can't go to a movie theater and yell fire, you can't go to an airport and yell bomb, and if recent events have made it clear, we can't tolerate people threatening insurrection online.
antivax rhetoric is literally no different.
It all has the potential to endanger lives.

I just explained how it can, if not directly then indirectly. At the very least you can't become more infectious after being vaccinated.
Why is it ok for your side to say whatever you want without proof WHILE demanding silence?
I get the impression that you mock anyone who explains why they do not think like you do. And you think you are the smarter one for your opinion.
People will shovel unnecessary sugars and carbs into their body no problem.
Great example of controversial opinions swung as gospel fact.
I don’t agree with you on that one. You have no business telling others they are eating excess carbs.
I remember fondly the era of humility in science.
They'll smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol on the reg.
Estrogens are pro-cancer. Tobacco blocks estrogen. Chew on that thought.
Alcohol consumption in moderate amounts is safer than tea-totaling lifestyles. The glass isn’t half empty, after all!
They'll eat meat and dairy without ever realizing that they have trace amounts of feces all over them. We all already have microplastics all over us and in our bodies.
Considering we also inhale dust and bugs I don’t see the point in spasms of germaphobic fear.
But a medically designed and curated vaccine with exact proportions of antigens produced in a sterilized lab
You must think they can give you just the one virus. Truth is, they don’t filter out the rotting proteins from incubation and they cannot filter the other viruses out. So they disable everything with preservatives. Yum.
that has to be rigorously approved through multiple layers of expert professionals is where people draw the line???

At least 13 people have died in Norway due to side effects of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, the national medicines regulator has revealed. All were frail and elderly people who had unusually strong reactions to the jabs.
Norway launched its Covid-19 immunization program on December 27, including residents of nursing homes on the priority list. Since then, 23 people have died shortly after receiving the injections. Norwegian medics are evaluating all such cases and have linked 13 of them to the side effects of the vaccine, according to local media.
“We do not see anything alarming with these figures. All deaths are in elderly and frail people with underlying diseases,” Dr. Steinar Madsen, the medical director of the national drug regulator, the Norwegian Medicines Agency, explained.
Australian scientists urge pause on deployment of AstraZeneca vaccine over efficacy concerns, suggest Pfizer or Moderna instead
For context, Norway has a population of over five million. Madsen previously said that between 350 and 400 people die at the country’s nursing homes each week as he predicted that some elderly people may not react well to the vaccine.
In addition to those who died, there were also 29 vaccine recipients who had developed significant side effects, including nine serious cases and seven mild ones, the official reported. All Covid-19 vaccines can sometimes cause adverse reactions like fever and nausea.
The Norwegian Public Health Institute updated its Covid-19 vaccination guidelines earlier this week to reflect the new data. The document now instructs medics to thoroughly evaluate nursing home residents before giving them the vaccine. For very ill people who are not expected to live long, the benefit of the jab “may be marginal or negligible,” the guidelines say.

New Jersey's state epidemiologist, Dr. Eddy Bresnitz, said monoclonal antibodies may have played a role in a recent leveling off of the state's Covid-19 hospitalizations. "It's worth the effort to get it," Bresnitz said during a media briefing Thursday.
So why aren't people getting it?
Simply put, a lack of time, resources and awareness.
Obstacles to administration
Monoclonal antibodies must be given soon after a person has tested positive. "These medications work best when given early," Surgeon General Jerome Adams said during Thursday's briefing.
The two monoclonal antibody products that have been authorized for emergency use by the FDA, from the drugmakers Eli Lilly and Regeneron, must be given within the first week of illness.
But with testing still lagging across much of the country, many patients must wait several days to find out whether, in fact, they have been infected. Simply waiting for the test results can push patients past time they might qualify for treatment.
That barrier, however, shouldn't be a factor in getting monoclonal antibodies, said Dr. John Redd, the chief medical officer for the office of the assistant secretary of health and human services for preparedness and response.
Getting these therapeutics does not require having a PCR test," Redd said during Thursday's briefing. (A PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, test is considered the gold standard, but it can take days to get a result.)
Instead, Redd said, "a rapid test is quite appropriate." Rapid tests can return results within minutes, but they have higher
Rates

False
Negatives.
Those on the front lines of treating Covid-19 patients say it's not that easy.

Monoclonal antibodies are given intravenously, in an hourlong infusion, with an appointment lasting three to four hours. Because Covid-19 patients are contagious, they must be separated from other vulnerable patients who need outpatient infusions, such as those receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, said some patients might decline the treatment simply because they're feeling better. But that might be a mistake. It has become clear that some patients may feel better before they abruptly get worse.
For many others, logistical problems get in the way.
Public transportation and ride-shares, such as Uber, are out of the question for those with active Covid-19. In addition, Chin-Hong said, some patients simply can't afford three hours out of their day away from work or family obligations.
Chin-Hong estimates that his health system has used less than 20 percent of the monoclonal antibodies in stock.
What's more, special infusion centers must be set up and staffed. Some say it's an unreasonable demand on health systems that are already stretched.
"If we had this pandemic under control, we could set up infusion centers. We could set up rapid testing. But we don't have those resources," said Dr. Pieter Cohen, who is an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and a physician with the Cambridge Health Alliance Respiratory Clinic near Boston.
"We're completely swamped with sick patients," Cohen said.
Chin-Hong agreed. "These patients are generally well, and you want to focus on the sick patients," he said.
"I think that's where people's mindsets are — particularly in California right now," he said. The state has had a surge in Covid-19 cases of late. In the state's most populous county, Los Angeles, 10 people on average test positive for the virus every minute.
The hurdles aren't lost on at least some of those leading the federal response. "We recognize the health care system is very stressed," Dr. Janet Woodcock, therapeutics lead for Operation Warp Speed, said during Thursday's media call.
"On the other hand, if we don't do this, the likelihood is that we'll have even more overwhelmed hospitals and health care workers," Woodcock said, adding that her team feels that efforts to set up such infusion centers are "worth it" to reduce the burdens on health care systems.
Some standalone kidney dialysis centers across the country have announced that they will begin administering monoclonal antibodies to Covid-19 patients during shifts set up for only those patients. Covid-19 has been shown to be especially dire for patients with kidney disease.

Another factor may be lack of awareness, among both patients and providers, that the treatments are available.

i don't plan on getting the vaccine -- especially if a US Vet like me can't get it for free. i feel that ALL Vets (homeless or existing within homes) should recv the shot for free. i am a realist and know that ain't gonna happen but it should.
i live in a retirement community but do not qualify for the phase one shots as i am under the age requirement.
i thought this would be a godsend and the animated neighbors would leave me alone ----------- sadly, this is not the case.
i am the youngster in this community and my doorbell rings waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than my introverted self wants.
i DO wear my mask when i go out though i know 2 neighbors have gotten the virus (one a nurse and one the resident handyman) and both recovered (thankfully).
Me, personally, i harbor NO fear. This could be a way to LEGALLY commit to a life's end -- which i entertained for many many years and attempts.
BUT i do not believe i will get to go that easily!!
i told my Sister and her Husband i WILL NOT GET CANCER OR ANY LIFE THREATENING DISEASE because i don't believe it will happen. i never shared with them my everlasting desire for suicide and so they take my words as words.
Damn...................Why am i still here?!

i DO wear my mask when i go out though i know 2 neighbors have gotten the virus (one a nurse and one the resident handyman) and both recovered (thankfully).
Me, personally, i harbor NO fear. This could be a way to LEGALLY commit to a life's end -- which i entertained for many many years and attempts.
BUT i do not believe i will get to go that easily!!
i told my Sister and her Husband i WILL NOT GET CANCER OR ANY LIFE THREATENING DISEASE because i don't believe it will happen. i never shared with them my everlasting desire for suicide and so they take my words as words.
Damn...................Why am i still here?!

I’m very well versed in history. Did you know that measles infection was already decreasing before the vaccine was distributed?
It’s not the first time that’s happened with diseases we vaccinate against.
Before vaccines there were measles tea parties. Then they quit doing those and sold live measles infections in a needle. But they first got people to stop spreading wild-type measles, so the infections were dropping first. Then they took credit for the reduction in disease.
Now if you get measles symptoms from vaccines they don’t count that as an infection but a side effect.
I obviously can’t make you believe in it. If you want to be smug and discredit my points, then that’s really not my problem.
But I thought YOU were the smug one...
I’m just trying to do my part wherever I can.
Right-o! 👍
Some of us see God in the laws of organized dissipative structures. Some prefer to listen to Darwin.
But ultimately we don’t chose to believe, we simply either do or we don’t. I can’t stop believing in what I’m convinced of. Neither can you.
But we can give ourselves a chance to consider other possibilities.
