Everything is 100% safe until it’s not

While I certainly don’t agree with anti vax- the example doesn’t hold up because a vaccines exists solely as a safety device- a bridge isn’t built primarily for safety. Safety is a feature, but it offers speed and convenience. In short: the purpose of a bridge isn’t to protect you and others, its to allow safe transport. A more apt metaphor might be something like: “this airbag/seatbelt is only x% effective, but so and so says it can cause more harm than good- so I won’t wear it.”

The problem there of course, is that lots of people who believe in vaccines reject seatbelts or airbags etc. I suppose right now we could best liken it perhaps to quarantine- something many people believe is harmful or a conspiracy of some sort- but is ultimately for their own safety and public safety.

Another point to mention is that medical statistics do not recognize nor notate that vaccines cause lifetime damage to certain susceptible individuals so they seem safer than they really are. Vaccines are great for those they work on but what if you’re the poor sot that draws the short straw? Serious vaccine side effects are more common than recognized by the medical community. If your child gets sick after a vaccine, doctors tell you it’s a coincidence your child got sick after a vaccination and attribute the illness to something else. If you don’t believe medical statistics are screwed with so that the medical community can enjoy a rosy outcome or reap benefits burying critical data, look no further than COVID-19 where heart attack and stroke deaths have become so low they are now considered non existent while COVID-19 deaths soar to the highest percentage than anywhere else in the world. Medical practitioners have screwed with statistics for decades to achieve their own end results.
