33. Recognizing that vaccines have limitations -

and encouraging vaccinated people to take additional precautions is not being anti-vaccination. It is pro-public health.

I was vaccinated two days after my group was eligible, and I will have a booster in November, 8 months after my second dose. Put up or shut up: Please link to a single post in which I discouraged anyone from being vaccinated against COVID.

Unlike you, and a few others, however I don't believe vaccinations are magic and I am responsible enough to take additional steps to protect myself and others (and to encourage others to do so as well). Just like I still fasten my seatbelt, even though I have an air bag. The air bag is good, but incomplete. So are vaccines.

Not surprising. LisaL Aug 2021 #1
It stands to reason that a vaccine that is maybe 90 percent effective is Tomconroy Aug 2021 #2
It's less than 90% effective against delta. LisaL Aug 2021 #3
It's highly effective. Somewhere in 80 to 95 percent ballpark probably. Tomconroy Aug 2021 #5

New Mexico is about 60% fully vaccinated. If there were no difference between being vaxxed RockRaven Aug 2021 #9
I like what you're getting at here ... but to get really accurate Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #12
the article doesn't claim there is no difference, obviously iemanja Aug 2021 #13
You understand that I included that line as a comparison, not because it has anything directly RockRaven Aug 2021 #22
Fair enough iemanja Aug 2021 #24
And the OP has a pattern of picking out these deceptive clickbait stories. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #27
The OP has a pattern of posting a distorted view of very positive statistics. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #26
I think we may be going into a situation similar the yearly flu vaccine. patphil Aug 2021 #10

So have you received the vaccine, OP? Elessar Zappa Aug 2021 #14
reporting accurate (and expected) information should not trigger Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #17

You're not reading carefully if you believe your last sentence is true. n/t Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #30
Technically accurate numbers presented in a deliberately deceptive way. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #28
My only agenda is to get people who are vaccinated to realize Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #31
The way you and WOTH are presenting it comes across as deceptive and antivax. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #32
Nonsense. You are actively misleading people with the data you cite - Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #37
I haven't been citing different data, only looking at what you and WOTH are posting. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #40
Without doing a deep dive into the data - this isn't a surprise. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #15

Nobody says vaccinations are magic. You're posting distortions to make them appear useless. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #35
Mine is always balanced and in context. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #38
