> LMFAO <
It’s a shame that you were compelled to add that at the end. Because I would have liked to explore this issue with you further. Maybe I’d learn something. (I’m vaccine-neutral by the way. I’ve made my decision, but I am unsure enough that I would not shout it from the rooftops.)
Anyway, that LMFAO hints to me that perhaps a serious discussion would not be possible here. So unfortunately I’ll have take a pass on that.
No, the LMFAO was merely at the humor you used in your post. And contempt for some of the opinions of some of the unvaccinated and those disparaging getting vaxxed (like any moron using ‘sheeple’ is someone worth listening to)
I thought about it, too. Seriously. I would have been much happier with another couple of years of testing (hell, months). I don’t denigrate genuine concern, only ignorant paranoia.
Essentially it came down to more, and better qualified experts on one side than the other. By a lot.
Sure, sometimes the ‘expert’ consensus is wrong, even harmfully so (e.g. thamidolide)- but the vast majority of serious professionals is what I chose to go with; I admit I was also prejudiced by what I perceive as the low level of intelligence of most of the prominent pundits and journalists speaking against it :-(
In *my* opinion, the only opinions worth considering are those of medical professionals, and specifically those medical professionals with expertise (meaning published, peer-reviewed research) and doctors actually treating COVID. I can respect the opinion of people who use those types of sources, I can’t respect people who follow the opinions of random cranks on Youtube.
Regards.
