The vaccine isn't evidence-based science because it is experimental. You are part of a group of people who decided to take part and provide data. In 2024 when the first long term studies are due evidence-based medicine will begin. It is crazy you are unaware of this. Weren't you required to sign a form acknowledging these facts and allowing the government to become the custodial holder of these records?

On average the people not taking the vaccine are more tuned in, have more raw facts available and have made a serious decision by weighting the facts. Thinking that this group must be getting information from Dr Oz or some other political figure you are against and blinding following is shallow reasoning. They are not the part of society who would blindly follow what they heard on the news or what a popular figure thinks or what society thinks.

HN comments have really gone down hill in quality. I'm quite sick of reading the same tired talking points you put up over and over.

Your last ten comments are single sentences or something to enflame others or both. Are those the type of comments that are lacking?

For anything medical related it has always been like this.

This is what happens when 26 year old tech bros who type JavaScript into a computer for $300k a year forget that there are a lot of things about the real world they don't actually understand.

Anything related to medicine or non-IP law on HN is a dumpster fire.

Realistically, most things that are tech/tech adjacent are a dumpster fire.

The number of uninformed comments on inflation/monetary policy on here is exhausting.

Come on, that argument was valid for about two or three months.

Nowadays, the outcomes from the several distinct vaccines have given us ten times, a hundred times more data than needed for such decisions.

On average, people like you simply can't help mistake anecdotes for data.
