Are people retarded?
? These people are stupid!
I live in a very lefty area and lately tons of handwringing on social media about “how will we know who is vaccinated?” The person asking this is always presumably vaccinated.
Do they not understand that them being VACCINATED means that they are VAC-CIN-ATED? I.e. the point of the VACCINE is to protect you against the VIRUS. So why do you give a shit if someone else has it - you are VACCINATED & PROTECTED (other controversies aside).
I think these are some of the stupidest people I have ever encountered. Boggles the mind.
You nailed it Hermit. See here for some good citations re: the massive decline in infectious diseases being driven by improvements in sanitation, etc..

“VACCINATION DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPRESSIVE DECLINES IN MORTALITY SEEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE CENTURY…NEARLY 90% OF THE DECLINE IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE MORTALITY AMONG US CHILDREN OCCURRED BEFORE 1940, WHEN FEW ANTIBIOTICS OR VACCINES WERE AVAILABLE.” —

Also ALL vaccines compromise our immune systems and are riddled with animal viruses from the dirty animal cell lines they use to grow them.
This. I argued with some lefties on this point and they thought I was nuts.
