I worked out why you got confused.
I wasn't saying "don't get vaccinated".
I was making the point that governments will mislead people into acting the way they want "for the-greater/their-own good".
I am not a big fan of being treated like a baby mushroom. 8)

The same tactic was used with the global warming hyperbole.
Gore and Flannery both admitted they exaggerated to get people's arses moving.
All they did was destroy their credibility and damage their cause. 8)


Sure, government have misled plenty of people in the past. But that hardly means that's always the case. With the Covid vaccine, I'm one hundred percent certain that is not the case here.


I am non-binary <sic>
I never said all government announcements can't be trusted.
I am saying you have to think for yourself and not blindly believe what is fed to us. 8)


One can think for one self, and come to the conclusion the government is telling the truth, such as about covid vaccinations.


You seemed to have missed the post where it was revealed that the percentage figure was rigged to unethically influenced people in doing what the government wanted.
This behaviour is shameful using an integrity context, is typical of politicians, and ultimately, makes the more intelligent citizens cynical.
In essence, they treat us like baby mushrooms, and some refuse to be manipulated. 8)

Disrespect begets disrespect.
I am not sure how many times I have to make that simple point. :scratch:


Rigged or not, the fact remains: states where vaccination rates are low have the highest infection and death tolls. That alone tells me that, the findings - if rigged - didn't have to be, as real life results back it up.

Oh, OK.
So you are saying the government never "gilds the lily" or creates falsehoods "for the greater good"?
"Interesting". 8)

Did you read the other posts?
I was referring to the established false figures presented by the department.
Would you like me to cut and paste?

Oh, OK.
Are you saying critical thinking isn't embraced by sensible people?
Dude! 8O

Total misrepresentation of what I was saying, btw.
FYI, I will be getting vaccinated ASAP.
I just have to update my will first. 8)


Sure the government has. But I can't see how saving the health and lives of the people by any means is a bad thing.
If anything, those so called "sensible people" have proven themselves to be cranks, grifters, and lunatics who spread the insane lies that the vaccine makes you infertile, or gives you the virus, or alters your DNA, or microchips you. I could go on and on about their lunacy. You honestly can't believe any of that, can you?
Do get the vaccination. The only reason why you'd have to update your will is if you fail to get it, then contract covid.


Reason sorts out nutty ideas.
I'm a fan of critical thinking.

Did you believe everything the Trump administration told you? 8)

BTW, You are talking to a guy that is a victim of institutional gang-stalking and gaslighting, in addition to being put into hospital via a fake car accident by the government's black-ops team.
You expect me to automatically believe anything the government tells me? 8O :lmao:


My distrust of Trump didn't come from the fact that he was the government, but because he's a psychopathic grifter and liar, and his political supporters are butt kissing sycophants. The Biden administration and the blue state and municipal leadership simple are none of those things. It's all a matter of using "critical thinking," and recognizing the trustworthy source.


Oh, OK, so you are saying you believe that politicians are generally trustworth.


No, just those with a good track record when it comes to integrity.


Hyperpartisanship deprives politicians of "integrity". 8)


Indeed. The Trump cult is living proof of that.

He may have greater integrity than trump, but there are a plethora of situations where he has contradicted himself to suit a specific political agenda.
His failing mental capacity may be more to blame than a deliberate attempt to be deceptive, however.

Regardless, he doesn't have a long history of hurting people, unlike Trump. And what's wrong with changing your position when the need arises? Such as a change in situation, or if one learns something new about a subject.

I think you've been watching too much Fox noise, because that's not the Joe Biden I see on the news.

Presumably, because you watch the left-wing news outlets.

Sky News points out things that the ABC leaves out because of their political bias.
And vice versa.

That is where a person's objectivity, personal experience, and critical thinking skills come into play. 8)

IMO it's good to look at as many sources as possible, rather than rely upon the "reliable few" that you know, because they don't always tell the truth either, and one is truly limiting themselves by relying on the "reliable few". The people behind the sources change behind the source itself (Like a political party), the people themselves change their opinions and belief systems over time, or they're influenced by money etc.

Bill: You're 100% certain of what the government say about the vaccines, why? The drug companies themselves have a history of lying about results and coverups.

I rely on the disparity between the clinical outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated people who have acquired COVID-19.

Well that's a lovely argument, except it's not based in reality.

Quote:
About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated, according to new data published Friday by the CDC.

The new data, published in the U.S. agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/cdc-stu ... nated.html

Quote:
As of this post
In Massachusetts, 5,068,455 people or 73% of the state has received at least one dose.
Overall, 4,443,878 people or 64% of Massachusetts's population has been fully vaccinated.

https://usafacts.org/visualizations/cov ... sachusetts

It's a similar story in Israel, Iceland, Gibraltar and many other high vaccine countries.

I can be asserted, based upon the reading of many sources, that hospitalization and death rates among the unvaccinated are much higher than among the fully vaccinated.

In the US, during the winter, when vaccinations were just starting, there were consistently about 2,000 deaths a day. Nowadays, in summer, it's about 1/3 of that.

Florida is a medium-vaccinated state----but the daily COVID case count there is about 5 times that of New York, a relatively highly-vaccinated state. Florida is also suffering about 10 times the amount of daily deaths as New York.

Comedian Bill Maher had contracted Covid, but because he had been vaccinated he had had no symptoms because he had been given said vaccination. I suspect your cases were like his, or had had mild symptoms.

I'm not going to doubt the drug companies just because some (okay, many) have been messing with people. There are still legitimate scientists who work on these medications, such as the late Dr. Jonah Salk. Those are the guys I trust.
