with regards to the vaccine, here are some things i think everyone agrees with:

> fewer lives lost is a good thing
> having our normal lives back is a good thing
> wearing masks sucks
> government overreach sucks

so where do we differ? the pro-vax crowd believes the sooner everyone gets the vaccine, the closer we are to returning to normalcy. the anti-vax crowd believes this is just another step to becoming a totalitarian state.

the reality is that there is no scenario where the anti-vax crowd outnumbers and wins. it is also reality that the vaccine has yet to be FDA approved and has caused some pretty devastating side effects in some cases. however, will those outnumber the thousands that have died from Covid? probably not.

So how about this, respect someone's decision to not get the vaccine until its FDA approved. Once its been approved by the FDA, the anti-vax crowd needs to remove the tinfoil hat and acknowledge that there is just no avoiding it.

Fair?

That or just mind your own business and if you feel like things are unsafe, take your own precautions.

You're forgetting ...
> mRNA vaccines were not designed to reduce the spread, and now have been proven they don't significantly at all, even pre-Delta

That's really the #1 thing for me that so many people won't believe, and is at the heart of the "You're killing people!"
