This isn't a gotcha.

Vaccinated people being able to get Covid is news to nobody, you moron.

I wonder what the macphisto account would look like if they used their powers for good.

Yes. Doing so contributes negativity to what is otherwise a very healthy and respectful Internet discussion.

He was too over the top conspiratorial regarding pharma among some other things. He could have toned it down a bit and come off better.

Incorrect. My neighbor was a traffic engineer, and a not insignificant number of accidents are caused by unbelted drivers. If you have to serve to avoid something, you can be thrown out of your seat or off of the pedals, turning what otherwise would have been a corrective action into an accident which could easily involve other people in the car, other cars, or pedestrians.

Also, society bears the cost of fixing you either by increased healthcare costs or increased insurance rates, or we bear the loss of taxable income and lost productivity when you die.

It makes me sad to say it, but we're all intrinsically linked to Bammer.

To be clear I always wear my seatbelt and I am triple-vaxxed. Not doing these things is foolish.

Anyway, my decision to wear a seatbelt around my body is about MY safety. It has no bearing on anyone else driving the streets along with me. Their decision to seatbelt or not will matter only to them if we get into an accident. I'm doing nobody but myself any favors or disservice either way from a physical safety perspective.

To argue differently, replacing seatbelt with vaccine, is pure folly. You have to do some pretty creative arithmetic to make the case that my decision whether or not to put a vaccine in my own body makes any difference to the next person as to whether or not they'll contract and/or become ill from Covid. You get a vaccine to protect YOURSELF. Period.

Which is why your rules about being vaccinated to enter a restaurant, barber shop, etc., make no sense.

Minimal standards are still standards.
