From what I saw of the actual footage of the event, the vast majority of that 10,000 (if that number is even accurate) were counter-protestors, probably around 80-90%. Article is misleading bullshit.

Weasel wording in the article. Yes, that protest drew a large amount of people...but most were there to support Ukraine.

Not sure how you get that.

In the first link, "severe" complications are in 5.9 per 10,000, and is fairly consistent with both vaccines.

Now if you look at severe complications for unvaccinated individuals, the rate is 1500-2400 severe complications per 10,000 for symptomatic individuals.

It's not even close.

Second link you provided only counts "severe" as ventilated. There are far more complications than just this with Covid.

The third...well. It is what it is.

There's plenty of science and stats to back it up...aside from common sense.

I realize what happens when people actually read articles, but they don't.

Instead I get my insufferable anti-vaxxer relatives sharing screenshotted headlines like this, and then I need to debunk or block even more.

It still misses an important point in that it's better to get vaxxed than get Covid in the first place (and to be vaxxed if you get Covid).

Getting yourself infected with Covid is not an equal replacement, healthwise, to getting vaxxed.

Only if you lost money shorting in a bear market.

That takes a special kind of regard.

Generally shorting anything is dumb. Companies can remain popular longer than you can remain solvent.

There's just easier ways to make money.
