From the anti-vaxxers to flat earthers: what makes people distrust science?

Yea....yet there is no data to support that conclusion. It is funny because all of a sudden people on both sides of the vaccine debate make themselves out to be prophets.

The pro-vaxers want to ignore that the majority of covid deaths are among the elderly and immunocompromised.

The anti-covid-vaxers want to ignore tge vact that the majority group of vaccinated people are the elderly and immunocompromised.

They are all liars supporting their own agenda. The exception would be the misled sheeple. They genuinely believe the misinformation they are fed.

 

Wait. Israel started vaccinating children on November 22nd, citing an increase in covid among children as a concern.

Do you honestly believe all of those children got covid from the vaccine before they were vaccinated?

 

No. I do not live to seek justice for the world but to share the mercy of Christ. The world is already condemned. This is what I meant by my conviction to abstain from participating in voting.

Israel began vaccinating children on Monday afternoon (yesterday was the first full day of children being vaccinated in Israel).

If we get covid we do not immediately test positive.

Israel was concerned because children were getting covid. Obviously the vaccine did not cause the covid. They had to have covid prior to the vaccine in order to test positive for covid now.

And don't worry about interrupting our feud. It's over. He sleeps with the fishes.

 

I don't think the article is vo.pletely false. I think you misread the article.

"Some 43% of the new cases registered in the past week have been recorded in the cohort 5-11 years of age, who just became eligible for a vaccine."

These were unvacvinated children who were registered as covid positive in the past week. They just became eligible to be vacvinated (this week....on Monday afternoon....November 22, 2021).

Do you see what I mean? The 43% were covid infected children reported during the week of November 14-20. They became eligible for the vaccine on November 22.

This is why Israel decided to vaccinate kids. Cases among the unvaccinated was rising. Most adults are vaccinated but kids were not. Covid was rising most among kids.

 

I don't keep up with why the US politicians do what they do, so I have not ventured out into Israeli politics.

My cousin was going to Israel but canceled his trip because of covid. His doc told him to go on because they have a handle on the virus.

On a side note....I thought about heading over to Germany. Round trip flights are under $600. Then I thought about quarantine periods. I don't know if they quarantine but I don't want to chance it.

 

I think parents worry more about children than they do about the public in general. We have known that covid-19 can cause MIS in children, but a couple of months ago Israel had a child die of covid related MIS. This is just one consequence of covid.

I suspect trying to protect against these things is why people support vaccinating children. Our school alone has lost 4 kids to covid.

People tend not to worry about themselves as much as they wory about their kids.

 

It may be hard to believe, but ot is true.

One of the children (9 years old) was special needs. So there was preexisting conditions. The other three were not. They just had a bad covid infection.

This illustrates my concern with anti-covid-vaxers. Having 4 children who died of vovid is to them hard to believe. Why? Having 4 children who died of the flu would not be hard to believe.

It is because you approach facts with the intent of rejecting them.

Both sides do this.

I could talk about a relative, a young man in his 20's, that has experienced serious side effects from one of the vaccines. In fact, he was in the hospital again last week.

You probably could accept that fact because it fits in why you want to hear. But some pro-covid-vaxers may reject that and imply I am lying while falling short of calling me a liar.

That said, the ability of some to accept truth dies not change the truth. Those children died (2 on the sane day). And my reletive is struggling with side-effects of the vaccine (he received more than a single dose with his second shot).

 

This is also true. People have to shift through misinformation political agendas only to guess at the truth.

What I am talking about is what I have witnessed in my community. 4 children dying is very sad, but it is not unbelievable. And it is true.

I suspect if I had said 4 teens in our schools died of the vaccine some would have accepted that without question.
