Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

But with the data that we have, is widespread vaccination still the best way forward?

Yes.

We are talking about vaccinating our children when everything points to the majority having mild to no symptoms.

And what about the minority that do?

fork ‘em, right?

jahsoul357 said
It doesn't stop the spread and children aren't filling up our hospitals, so what is the benefit of forcing this on them?

It does reduce the spread by reducing viral load, and it protects the children that, for whatever reason, actually do have a bad reaction.

most of your anti vaxxers remember chicken pox parties.

Which is now completely pointless because we have a chicken pox vaccine. My daughter is twelve and never had to get chicken pox and is quite protected, plus won’t get shingles when she’s an adult (which I managed to get in my twenties).

Can we make our points without the added snark?

Absolutely not.

Reports are coming out that say that the vaccinated is just as likely to spread COVID as the unvaccinated.

No they aren’t.

The thing about those were the vaccines provided for Polio and Smallpox (as dangerous as it was) was said to provide immunity against said viruses. If I'm not mistaken, both actually stopped person to person transmission, as opposed to "protection" against severe symptoms and it is said the vaccines prevents transmission. Can we really equate COVID to those?

Absolutely.
