Seriously, if you're going to make a comment like that then expect outrage and anger, and the opposite viewpoint being pushed. Don't get all up on your own high horse because you damn well knew this response was coming, even if you won't admit it.
Absolutely. We're not scientists, and we don't know how this will go. Best to do what's right for the community ie world and let the eggheads worry about whether it's going to be good enough.
Got to wonder, if there'd been a vaccine for the Black Death would Steph and jwb's ancestors just boarded up their doors and said no thanks I'm too busy? Or I couldn't be bothered? 
TBPF I do recognise the difference between jwb and Steph's take on why not to go for the shot - I proposed this very question in a thread before - but it's not up to us to decide when we should get it. Science is trying to protect everyone as best it can, so why not just let it do its job? |
that's unfair and uncalled for

I do disagree with “get the shot or you have blood on your hands.” You really think herd immunity will ever be achieved in this world, let alone in the US? You think jwb and his position is the one going to **** it up for everyone? Please.

I'm pretty sure jwb understands that choice of phrasing has been tongue-in-cheek since its inception and that he isn't sensitive about it. No one is calling him radical, and I'm not down with the dramatic blood-on-hands narrative. But an almost equally dramatic opposite reaction won't do any good. I just think if scientists tell us to take this vaccine to help get rid of covid, then we should listen: this year has been terrible and I don't think we should take any risks; the vaccine will at least do some good, and I am worried the cumulative effect of lots of people refusing the vaccine may **** that up.
