This is funnily something a primary opponent could hit Trump with - it was reckless fasttrack a leaky vaccine that then could be mandated.

Pretty sure he’s got a lock on the “anti vax as a cause” crowd anyway.

His supporters have a fair amount of cognitive dissonance on this, but if he was forced to defend project warpspeed and the effectiveness of the vaccine as it exists, something would have to give.

Since we're getting hypothetical let's also assume that another virus in anyone's kid's future is even more deadly.
The virus is not potentially deadly to the majority of those being required to take the shot.

Yes let’s all rally behind blatant false arguments.

My son was recently denied health care because he hasn’t taken any covid shots.

He is 6 years old.

He is being denied care from doctors who swore an oath, simply because he hasn’t had shots that offer him no benefit. He’s already had covid. He experienced mild flu symptoms and got better within 2 days. As we all know by now the shots are unable to prevent transmission, so he put absolutely no one at risk by not being injected.

Please take a step back and ask yourselves if you are down with this.

Read it again and remember that vaccines aren't solely about those that don't need them to be safe, they're about people that need them to be safe and can't get them... thereby placing their safety in the hands of other people.

Hence why:

They have this rule to do what's best for all their patients, not just your son. Weird how there's other people in the world beyond you and yours.

Ellis go ahead and try again.

If we are sharing the back seat of a cab together, my wearing a mask arguably benefits you in some way. In that same situation, me being vaxed has literally no bearing on you whatsoever.

First, what "healthcare" was he denied?

Second, you totally made this up.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yup, and with just one more step:
As long as the vast majority of people are vaccinated, it is much more difficult for an outbreak of disease to occur, let alone spread. This effect is called herd immunity.

If Daszak had a rejected DARPA grant application for this family of viruses, I'd say we're good and fucked.

Latest Covid Boosters Are Set to Roll Out Before Human Testing Is Completed

The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize new Covid-19 booster shots this week without a staple of its normal decision-making process: data from a study showing whether the shots were safe and worked in humans.
