Hard to read this it’s just way too editorialized by the author. We get it you’re mad about the pandemic and how it’s handled. Supposedly being a doctor gives you more credibility but only on vaccinations not on public health policy.

Anyway im sick of reading articles with no other point than to make you mad. But its HP what can you expect.

Edit: not really going to argue with anyone my point stands. Just another stupid piece made to make people mad. Your comments further reinforce this. Be mad but it doesn’t help.

You shouldn't read editorials then, they're usually editorialized.

> Supposedly being a doctor gives you more credibility but only on vaccinations

We can drop the "supposedly" and vaccinations are what's being discussed.

The point is that an expert has watched people die because of irrational behavior on the part of anti-vaxxers. Not "to make you mad." You should try reading the article!

Why shouldn't people be mad about this? The point is that medical professionals are horrified and frustrated, and this article is helping us understand why.

Agreed. This kind of "journalism" is sheer garbage, whether it's supporting your viewpoint or not, and probably poses a more serious risk to the country than Covid ever will.

"Person angry about 600,000 deaths a bigger risk to country than thing that caused 600,000 deaths" is a pretty bold claim.

Not the one person, the whole trend in the way we consume information and communicate with people. Obviously.

Like this example, where a frontline worker explains the dangers of going unvaccinated? How is that more dangerous than the pandemic that killed 600k and counting?

IMO Most of the "unvaccinated" are that way because they've already had covid and would rather be part of the control group for this large experiment. I just don't buy articles like this for the reason you stated.

You would be the first person that I've heard say hey I already got it, therefore I'm not getting vaccinated.

Even if you've gotten covid, go get vaccinated

The first person I heard say he's not getting vaccinated is a relative who had Covid. He was convinced by an uncle who's an ambulance driver (who later got vaccinated because they forced him and couldn't afford to lose his job).

Don't give people medical advice unless you're their personal doctor.

How about if you've already gotten covid, and are eligible to go get vaccinated, go get vaccinated.

A colleague of mine just lost his best friend. It was the second time he had the virus. They think it was two different variants.

Something like 2.4 billion people have had at least one shot of vaccine. How many more need to before you think its safe?
