Whilst I am vaccinated, and support people taking care of their health...what is the excuse to GET vaccinated?

Take a look at some of what Fash and CC have posted.

I see we are getting down to the nitty gritty here. Anti vaxxers aint actually opposed to what's in COVID vaccines. They are opposed to the governments, corrupt bureaucracies and big companies behind them. I would be too if I was an American.

That's no excuse not to get vaccinated.


Excuses not required.

That is probably the best argument put forward yet not to get vaccinated.

There's recovered from infection. Like the seasonal flu vaccine, a lot of people still catch what it's supposed to protect against.

First Flu vaccine was never billed as "supposed to" protect 100%



For decades, Flu vaccine was advertised as  50% "prevention" at best - but for those infected symptoms are much reduced was the main reason people used it



Dunno why anti vaxxers attempt  & get away with pointing out "some" vaxxed get infected as an argument



Well guess what!!! Virus vax is considerably  higher protection than flu one (albeit not 100% + GREATLY reduces symptoms if infected)



So how is that an argument at all? ...  Like DUH!!!

The treatment value of vaccines cannot be denied. The data that you and Fash have posted proves that.

That's a given now that data has had time to give people  a  view at both it's prevention and  symptom reduction values.



The comparison (for prevention & for severity reduction between vaxxed and not vaxed , especially when presented as a % of population or as 1 / 100,000 people number are dramatic  



So their argument that it's not 100% prevention falls flat on it's ass .. especially as the flu one in use for years has always been a bonus yet does somewhat poorer at prevention



You see, not only are reduction values high, but numbers of infections are also many times more for unvaxxed  getting infected .

The vaccines work very well against getting COVID among people under fifty..



It still helps that way with senior citizens and immunocompromised, but it's the way that it protects against serious symptoms that makes them lifesavers.

Cases per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Sept. 27-Oct. 3)    



Not vaccinated: 297.3

Partially vaccinated: 90.1

Fully vaccinated: 35.1

It's "prevention" value is very high as seen above



BC govt is always answerable  to the people - I can't speak for Virginia or swamp states as I don't know their ethics levels





Damn!! Can't find a gaudy grainy meme to prove it in a manner acceptable to some   :sad:

That includes all age groups of course..



I read in Alberta that the risk of catching COVID increase with age and health factors......which is why we have boosters for people in those demographics.

That is true . . Age and condition affect protection to some degree ... also, maybe not as much as it appears taking into account that the time older people last had a shot is much longer ago than for younger people

That's a good point cc.

cc

Yes, that skews the numbers maybe a lot



We won't really know for a cpl more months after boosters give us the true comparison



BTW - I'm really peed off at BC - they were slow to start Care Home, promised a start 2 weeks ago & are still not getting their butts in gear to any extent



Strange after the successful flying start and great  success in January

Every province has been slow with boosters.

There is no excuse for their tardiness .. older people vaxxed long ago need it



I'm starting to get uptight about taking our family friend from  care home out for lunch   .. a major treat for her about 3 times / week



Damn them



That said, listening to  our in house Ex Spirts .. she will prolly fall down dead  within seconds of her 3rd shot
