You weren't unable to attend anything. You had an option to attend the event - get vaccinated. You chose to not attend the event. The only thing "keeping you" from it is you.

That's a great point. Next up, we'll make sure Muslims can't go to the same conference because they chose not to go.

Maybe your next thought is the vaccine makes the conference safer. Let's play Choose your own Adventure. You have to sit next to someone on a crowded airplane in economy class for 3 hours and this person loves to talk. You get to choose that this person is either a) vaccinated, or b) tested negative for covid every day for the past 3 days. Which do you choose?

It's fascinating and scary that fear has led our society to let segregation creep in under the guise of public health.

There is no herd immunity in play with anyone vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Please remove that from your vocabulary when referencing the vaccines for one reason: they do not provide immunity and never have. Hence there is not and will not be herd immunity from vaccinations alone.

Please, spreading this nonsense does not help anyone. You are lying which makes you look bad (or if you think it’s actually true, it makes you look stupid).

How do you think vaccines don’t contribute to herd immunity?

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines do not contribute to herd immunity because they do not confer immunity. They don’t prevent transmission nor infection, hence herd immunity is not attainable from these vaccines alone.

The vaccine has been well demonstrated to provide significant reduction of both of those, actually greater than any prior vaccine for the original strain of COVID.

The key infectious strains we see today are variants that, in no small part due to increasing herd immunity to prior strains, are microevolutionarily driven to evolve around the vaccines. The same way the flu develops strains that bypass vaccine protections throughout the year.

Even with the different variants, the vaccines have reduced the transmissibility and infection rates vs nonvaccinated individuals, with some allowance in limited datasets (ie. Ottawa) for behavioral changes between vaccinators and nonvaccinators.

Not sure where you acquired your misinformation, but you may need better sources.

“Herd immunity is the protection of an individual from infection by virtue of the other members of the population being incapable of transmitting the virus to that individual. Herd immunity can be achieved by immunizing a population with a vaccine that interrupts transmission, such as the live, attenuated polio vaccine, but not with a vaccine that does not interrupt transmission, such as the killed polio vaccine.”

Religion, unlike race and sexual orientation, is a choice. (deliberately omitting any comment about gender...)

In fact, this is how some churches work. If you want to use church services, consider converting.
