Get the vax if you have major health problems or are over the age of 55, otherwise just maintain a healthy weight, stop smoking/vaping, and supplement Vitamin D (especially in the winter or if you are black/brown and live in a colder/less sunny area)
Covid is a respiratory virus and is here to stay (thanks China), its best to keep yourself healthy, get infected and build immunity naturally if you are younger, the current vaccines arent going to make covid go away.

Neat? Whatâs the point of a statement most people with a functional brain already know?

It was implicit when you said people not getting the shot was selfish because they was spreading it.
If both the vaccinated and unvaccinated can spread it. Then this statement was unwarranted.

Youâre using the âbaseball in my pocketâ defense.
Itâs a weak debating point.
Someone says âI have a baseball in my pocketâ. Another person says âProve itâ, and the first person pulls out a baseball.
Your defense is âI have a baseball in my pocket. Prove it. YOU CANâT PROVE I DONâT HAVE A BASEBALL IN MY POCKET.â
Youâre saying that because he canât specifically DISPROVE you, that you arenât wrong.
Except you are, and he proved it. Now itâs on you to come up with evidence to the contrary, which you havenât.

The fully vaccinated are less likely to spread it.

Itâs a choice that costs lives. The one âdealing in absolutesâ is you, since you think it should absolutely be a choice, despite the consequences.

I had COVID for a month. I donât remember much of that time, but then got long haul effects afterwards. I still have them almost a year later. Iâve been on medical leave for almost a year. Iâve lost friends and family to this virus. Itâs no joke.
Stay safe, OP. I wish a speedy recovery and hope it doesnât get bad.

if you refuse the vaccine you should sign an advance directive to withhold treatment in the case you get covid. but of course they wonât.
i never said that, youâre putting words in my mouth. i didnât talk about contagion at all. what is selfish is expecting treatment when you refuse to listen to experts and get vaccinated, and as a result put a strain on the already overstrained healthcare system.

Actually, I didnât disprove him from being right. I just disproved him from being factual. He could be right, or wrong. Itâs not fully proven either direction. The only thing that was proven is the statement doesnât have enough data to be a factual statement.
Itâs subtle but important difference, although you are correct in the assessment of him believing he is defacto right due to the lack of evidence. Due to there never being any evidence that it was a human origin to begin with.

I understand your logic, but feel itâs tooâŚnot sure how to say it, but if this scenario were applied, whatâs to stop the same logic from being applied to obese people, etc.?

If your choice is putting other people at risk, then itâs a stupid choice and you should rethink it.
The only people who shouldnât be vaccinated are those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, and no, being anti-vax is not a âmedical reasonâ.
