The CDC stopped counting breakthrough cases last week, and now they are claiming that these vaccines reduce infection and transmission based on...? Without that data, they literally cannot make that claim.

Among 36,523 participants who had no evidence of existing or prior SARS-CoV-2 infection by the time of the immunizations, there were 170 cases of COVID-19 observed with onset at least 7 days after the second dose; 8 cases occurred in vaccine recipients, and 162 in placebo recipients, corresponding to 95.0% vaccine efficacy (95% credible interval [CI, 90.3, 97.6]). Among participants with and without evidence of prior SARS CoV-2 infection, there were 9 cases of COVID-19 among vaccine recipients and 169 among placebo recipients, corresponding to 94.6% vaccine efficacy (95% CI [89.9, 97.3]).

the vaccine skepticism is built on straight up lies. it costs you nothing more than 30 minutes of your life.

You forgot 10+ years of possible debilitating illnesses and infertility. Vaccines have their purpose. But when you rush them out the door to humans in less than a fucking year, it's gunna cause some rightful skepticism on the long-term effects.

where are you getting this? im assuming pulled straight out of your ass. regular vaccines in general don't cause that, and mmr vaccines are much shorter lived than those.

I said "possible" debilitating illnesses and infertility. It could be that it is safe in the long run and we have our heads up our asses. It could also be damaging in the long run and fuck everyone over on those who took it. We just don't know because "long-term" requires time to pass, which there hasn't been enough for some of us to trust it.

And history has shown us that vaccines aren't always safe. So it's better to be safe than sorry. But you do you.
