"Gaslighting". And just when I thought you couldn't possibly be more dramatic...

You sure you got cancer at all? Maybe it's just a cold.

Are you feeling gaslit?

>Who are you to decide someone else’s heath care?

Some guy on Reddit.

>you should be able to “down vote” people to die

If only

>Who thinks like this? What kind of mean spirited people are you? How ugly.

Lol, you should really lighten up. I thought people with cancer were supposed to be chill. What gives?

Well you'll have to forgive me. Every time I argue with someone who is "skeptic" they point me to a ridiculous documentary, or some schizoid manifesto.

I haven't personally delved into the corruption and conspiracy surrounding pharma companies. I'm sure there is corruption, and I'm sure people have suffered for the sake of profits, but I'm hesitant to buy into a grand conspiracy (not sure if that's what you're suggesting).

>there a bit more immediate personal urgency.

You might be right. At the very least, they probably believe that cancer is dangerous. Which is... Something lol.

>What are you talking about? 80% of the USAs population took the vaccine, 70% of the entire world population took the vaccine.

We're talking about antivaxers, don't drag the rest of humanity along in an attempt to appear more rational than you are.

20-30% is a significant amount. The apprehension to get the vaccine was significantly more pronounced at the height of the pandemic as well.

It's also worth noting that those figures you're referring to also include partial vaccination.

>And for what? So that {x} pharma companies made record profits for a 'vaccine' that didn't provide immunity or stop transmission.

What?

Wait... Are you going to do that thing where you say that the vaccine doesn't give you 100% immunity and that means big pharma is lying to you? Boring...

The vaccine has been shown to be extremely effective at preventing and mitigating the infection.

It's not 100%, no. I have no idea why anyone would think it is 100%, as that's not the case for literally any medical treatment in the history of all medical science.

>Never said you didn't. I simply said that asking people to look up a hard number on lives saved isn't realistic.

Oh please dude. Your bias is obvious. You seriously skipped over that brain dead comment to start a line of pedantry...

Calm down, we're deep into a reddit comment section.

Honestly I agree. If you intentionally avoided the mRNA vaccine because you wanted to virtue signal or were simply too stupid, then maybe you should be held to your bullshit.

mRNA was too wacky, dangerous, and mind controlling during the pandemic, why should we tolerate a sudden, selfish change of heart?

Call me naïve, but the whole global conspiracy thing seems really juvenile. It couldn't possibly be that simple....

When the treatment enters something like a consumer level market, though... Many, many Americans will simply be priced out due to being underinsured.

I've heard people talk about how the vaccines magnetize your body....

Human genetic modification is going to become so commonplace in the future. There are just so many amazing applications for it.

I don't think conspiratorial neurosis just goes away on its own.

The more you ignore it, the more you silence it, the stronger the sentiment grows.

Probably, but a large percentage is also going to vehemently oppose the vaccine based on intuition alone... Just like with covid.

>Or maybe people will look at each treatment separately & consider the benefits, risks & circumstances

Why would they do that? they didn't weigh the options with COVID.... They just took up the anti-establishment, conspiratorial bandwagon and followed suit as blindly as anyone else.

Only instead of following the recommendations of the world's leading experts, they followed fringe researchers and conmen populists.

Yeah, one major difference being that the COVID vaccine's effectiveness was contingent on herd immunity...

The flu? Wasn't the antivax push primarily over COVID 19? You know, the deadliest pandemic in US history...
