What?? Obtuse means "pretending not to understand something", essentially. What the fuck was I pretending not to understand?

Cool burn though bro, trailer park. Super creative and original
I think you're on to something. Trump voters aren't obtuse, they're delusional.

You're an anti-vax conspiracy nut. Where do you live if not a trailer, then?

I'm not even remotely anti-vaxx. Vaccines are a miracle of science and have saved countless lives throughout modern history. They just generally are developed over the course of multiple years, if not decades, in order to test for efficacy and safety. The covid vaccine was developed in months. That isn't a minor difference.

I'm not even anti-*covid* vax, the only thing I'm against is a blind, unquestioning, incurious attitude toward this or anything else.

What? No, good dear lord man read what I said. There are perfectly reasonable concerns about this particular vaccine, for specific scientific reasons. It doesn't require you to be left or right, it just requires you to be honest.

Also sorry for calling you a sociopath before, that was over the top and I don't really think you're a sociopath. Seriously. That's too strong of a word to just throw around and I should know better

Yeah, be curious. Your curiosity is going to going to make up for decades of education and training by professionals who focus on just this. But what do they know? Too bad they're not "curious" too.

You are aware that the guy who literally developed MRNA vaccine technology is highly skeptical of the covid vaccine and has serious reservations about it's safety and efficacy?

You're just making a lazy appeal to authority, while ignoring *OTHER* professionals who disagree with the opinion you want to be true. It is highly ironic since the left loves deploying the "trust the science" mantra while not actually acting in a scientific manner.

You're also totally sidestepping the fundamental concept that it's impossible to claim something is safe in the "long term" when it hasn't existed in the long term yet. You can claim the covid vaccine is safe ten years from now, you can't claim it's safe when you have zero long term data with which to make that proclamation. At best you can say "ehhhh, it's probably safe?". My personal stance is that anyone who is particularly vulnerable to covid should get vaccinated. Those who are young and healthy probably don't need to. Oh man, what a crazy anti-vaxxer nutjob!

Or you know, you could look at the extremely low rate of adverse outcomes from the vaccine in the millions of people who have taken it and then look at how that’s a lower rate than people who get COVID dying from it. Pretty easy risk based decision there.

It’s weird how P99 seems to attract low IQ people like this.
