@torahvaluesoverparty The death statistics are flawed and continue to be flawed because they only focus on the individual, not the danger that said individual presents to others. Meaning, if a 30 year old perfectly healthy man lives in a box, it’s unlikely he will contract a serious illness from COVID. The issue is that we are communities, and for every person that doesn’t take the vaccine that’s another person spreading a dangerous virus. And this virus can spread. Like really really fast, much faster than most viruses we are familiar with.
Furthermore, even by your own reasoning everyone over 40 or with any sort of chronic health issue absolutely should get vaccinated, which is in direct contradiction to your previous blanket statements telling people not to.
Finally, almost all of your reasoning rests with the idea that the vaccines are “untested”. Not only is that blatantly false (at this point far more people have had the vaccine shots and for far longer time than FDA approved testing groups) but it was never true to begin with! The FDA fast tracked the human testing, meaning that they allowed vaccine manufacturers to test on humans before they were convinced that it was safe. And guess what? The four approved vaccines passed the human trials.
Now let’s get back to HCQ. I am not a doctor. You are not a doctor. You aren’t even a scientist with regular experience reading and deciphering scientific discussions, papers, studies, medicinal fact sheets, and research. So neither I nor you can say what HCQ does or does not do. But my doctor said it doesn’t work. And out of all the many many doctors, nurses, PA’s, epidemiologists, and other healthcare workers I know, not one thinks another HCQ study will yield significantly positive results. (A doctor I know did recommend vitamin D and ivermectin, but specified that it’s far from a sure thing) And I’m willing to bet that, unless you lived in Kiryas Yoel a year ago, you don’t have a personal physician who recommends it either.
But we can put all of that to the side. Even assuming that your numbers are 100% correct, people are simply not getting treated with HCQ. You have also made it clear on multiple occasions that HCQ should not be taken instead of the vaccine. So that settles the matter. You agree with me that people should be vaccinated and are arguing with @TristateJew who says that more people should just die.
