If you want my "appeal to numbers" argument, you can see it all over this thread.

It seems like I'm getting a continual -2 on votes for all of my arguments just cause I'm coming off as "pro-vaccine". So it doesn't actually seem to matter what appeals I make.

Also though, I don't really believe I'm changing anyone's mind on this. I'm just inviting people consider the humanity of things like "child deaths". Which, is much easier to consider as a number than it is as an actual concept.

I have a couple kids (teens). I'm worried about many other things, not COVID; it's just far down on my list of things that I consider active risks to my children that I have the power to impact.

I don't really have time to cross reference all your different comments, but when you post a comment that is just appeal to emotion, I tend to mention it.

<s> I mean, it's definitely the kind of good constructive criticism that really helps improve the discussion. </s>

In all honesty, I will say that pointing out rhetorical styles is probably the least constructive internet discussion you can have. Mostly because even if you can point to a logical fallacy, doing so doesn't negate the underlying argument unless you can actually explain it.

Your logical fallacy is that those 1900 kids are indistinguishable from the other millions.

Also, brief note, that you might think you're an emotionless rational machine, but very few people actually respond well to that. So it's important to use everything in your rhetorical toolbox including appeals to emotion to try and convince the wide range of responses people might have.
