I agree with the other overwhelming evidence you mention here too. I think all those things are true too. I just also recognize that there is a ton of data from all around the world that show that the vaccines do lower the risk of severe disease and death compared to unvaccinated people.
You also make many incorrect assumptions about me. I'm sure my sentiments against vaccine mandates are at least as strong as yours. My own sister suffered a severe reaction to the vaccine that will get reported to VAERS by her PCP (who also ordered her to never get a booster). I believe natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity, which is why I am unvaccinated. You know what they say about people who make assumptions about others...
If you're unwilling to objectively examine the data because anything that doesn't comport with your existing biases are just "likes, damned lies", you leave yourself vulnerable to manipulation and ignorance. This entire forum is built on the hopes that people here do not do this.
I am very willing to objectively examine as I am objectively interested in living a healthy life
We are all vulnerable to manipulation and ignorance
At this point, nearly 2 years into the PANDEMIC, I'm generally unmoved by the "data" and the "science" and the "studies"
You can sit there and mull them over and unbelievably still be a vax sympathizer even tho you have seen catastrophic effects in your own family
Ultimately, you are pro natural immunity and anti mandate so we agree on what we must agree
People like us cannot ignore the vaccine marketing operation and therefore it is not a goal. The vaxxers, one the other hand.....
If we we're truly insecure in our beliefs, we'd simply get the vax and assume the "conveniences" that come with that first class status
I'm not smart enough to filter true data from the misleading/outright dishonest data. So I rely upon natural immunity, general good health and diet
Meanwhile, geniuses, like you will "soberly" and "objectively" examine the data while we are awash in a sea of "adverse reactions" from a rushed, hyper consequential vaccine developed, apparently, to eradicate a virus with nearly a 100% survival rate that is seemingly combated with any number of vitamins and other over the counter treatments
This is the time to stop this madness
I don't want a cdc study on vaccine effectiveness to fall put of your pocket while you reach for your vaccine passport as you enter the doctor's office to drop off your sister
May God and the wonder of natural medicine cure her and all those who have taken these potions in good-faith
