Remember when this thread was resurrected because spirit asked people to submit their vax status…….and then allowed the submitted data to be viewed by anyone in share point. Solid IT work

You go from burying your head in the rabbit hole to putting your foot in your mouth (“I never spread misinformation just my body my choice) then getting called out for that and right back to burying your head in the rabbit hole.

Ah yes. Once again, those who don’t agree with you are conspiracy theorist, who are down a rabbit hole. Never gets old that because someone chooses to not make the same decision that you did, and this must be the only answer.

its a funny thing about people who don’t want to think for themselves; they’re so threatened by people that do. They need their precious “experts” to tell them what to think. They need to outwardly agree with what the “smart people” are saying so that they can prove themselves to be smart to you, and more importantly to their own ego.

That’s why these people are so delicate and quick to anger. It’s because their delusion is delicate. It’s not enough that you think you have the audacity to think for yourself. They cannot shrug it off. They need to have their beliefs and decisions go beyond tolerance, beyond acceptance. They need to have their thoughts and decisions validated by everyone around them. Absolute intellectual and ideological homogeny.

I would say such a simplistic world view would be unbecoming of a pilot, especially a professional pilot. A mode of thinking not conducive to good judgment... but then a again the earliest group of pilots that thought in these terms comprised a whole luftwaffe!

It’s not about ego...I jumped into this thread because of someone wants to tout one incorrect statistic as if it’s gospel. And the last thing we need is more misinformation spread while we finally have a clear way out. I’m tired of hearing about acquaintances, friends and family ending up bed ridden or hospitalized with covid. Way back in the day they kept saying “it’s not even worse than the flu”...well guess what I never knew ANYONE laid up this bad with the flu. It’s just at every corner in this pandemic there’s some BS reason to not play nicely and be a part of the solution.

Sure I’m going to lean on experts...were not diagnosing a rattle in my car and thinking the mechanic is trying to rip me off.

Wanna talk about what’s the most unbecoming trait of most pilots? Thinking they are smarter than they are. But I can tell by your post history you just upgraded in the RJ which I passed long ago. So I can see you have some more experience to gain.

And as for your ridiculous luftwaffe comment, you need to brush up on your WW2 history. They were quite on the fringes of Nazi culture. And their “expert”, Goring pleaded with Hitler to not declare war after Pearl Harbor. Instead let the US and Germany have a series of incidents leading up to war later on so the Germans could finish their European campaign while the US fought the Japanese. The results of WW2 would prove his decision incorrect. Goring would lament about it as a POW after his surrender. Quite an interesting interview I might say. Also one of many blunders by Hitler not listening to his “expert” generals and instead bumbling through decisions shooting from the hip until he had to shoot one final one into himself to avoid being captured by the Red Army.

You were doing good up until this point. Even your history lesson was genuinely interesting.

But to say that experience = intelligence is a pretty big false equivalence, one that makes your frustration with how low the actual death rate from the virus (controlling for co-morbidities) actually is make sense... in a way... I guess.

And with this collectivist “we” talk; there is nothing more “we” can do that “we” haven’t been doing for more than a year now. It’s on the individual to do what’s best for them. It’s no one else’s responsibility to keep you from getting sick, not “we” just you. If you had a real vaccine you shouldn’t care, right?

it’s not a pandemic anymore. The virus is here to stay and it’s going to mutate. It’s endemic now.

Congratulations on your decision to be vaccinated. I’m still going to “take my chances.” You’re welcome.

2 opinions, neither is wrong. .


Well, actually, one is wrong. Here is a peer-reviewed study conducted by medical professionals, which you are not, that proves the effectiveness of vaccines https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2101765 . Please take your time reading these articles and medical journals, they may have bigger words than the ‘articles’ you are used to seeing on your Facebook wall.



“minimal testing” false.

https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download

Tens of thousands were included in clinical trials. Numbers extremely comparable to other clinical trial studies in other vaccine development. You are either ignorant or willfully lying.



”experimental vaccine” false.

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-prepar...vid-19-vaccine

FDA granted full approval of multiple covid vaccines. Nothing is experimental, that is the purpose of the clinical trials. You’d know this, if you knew anything about how vaccines are tested and approved.



”rushed through without approval” false.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hop...act%3famp=true

More like massively funded and historicity fast information-sharing between companies and medical researchers.



”unproven drug” false.

https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-re...vid-19-vaccine

All these outright lies… for what? What do you gain from this? What do you have against modern medicine? People get mislead by clowns like you and can literally die as a consequence.

Again, I have no idea why people so dutifully spread misinformation, especially when it can cost lives. Why do you think people get so riled up against anti-vaxxers? Same reason people get fired up at flat-earthers. You’re sitting there, with zero training or expertise on the topic, claiming the sky is green and grass is blue…. And that everyone who disagrees is wrong or lying.

And naturally, much like a flat-earther, any evidence that is presented that goes against your opinion must be a ‘conspiracy’ or ‘lying media’, ‘business interest’, etc.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I was wrong about something, and someone proved me wrong, I would learn from it instead of dig my feet in the sand and getting mad about it.

To think that in 2021, any part of our population actually believes these vaccines are more dangerous to their health than a well-studied virus with a historically high mortality rate and a massive amount of victims of all ages, is insane to me.

The last few pages are just embarrassing and disrespectful to medical professionals.

At best they’ll just realize it eventually. At worst they’ll lose someone they love or die themselves. Either way they’ll never agree until the unthinkable happens to them.
