You can still die in a car crash wearing a seat belt so why wear a seat belt?

You're right, it's a choice that doesnt impact other people. That's why "free" states dont have seat belt laws.

The vaccine doesn't stop you from getting it, doesn't stop you from transmitting it, but it help lessens the symptoms of those who do catch it. So unvaccinated people can literally only hurt themselves, and you have a problem with that?

Seat belt laws exist to prevent injury to others too, not just the seat belt wearer. Rear passengers can kill front passengers in a crash if they aren’t wearing their seat belt.

So then the seat belt is a terrible analogy, because unvaccinated people only hurt themselves with their choice.

Once again, the vaccine doesn't stop the acquisition, or the spread, of the covid. It exists only to lessen symptoms of those who catch it. If you choose to have heavy symptoms, that's your right.

Vaccinated people carry and transmit a similar viral load to unvaccinated people. So vaxxed people are jsut as likely to "kill grandma". Unvaxxed are only hurting themselves.

Unvaccinated people do not hurt only themselves, they increase the chances of spread and mutations developing. They are actively making it harder for us to remove this from society which puts millions of people at additional risk.

Studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant.

From the link that you didn't even read. Pathetic.

I have given you sources, scientific proof, that vaxxed and unvaxxed carry a similar viral load and spread the disease nearly equally.

Did you jsut NOT read that before you replied?

Furthermore, the vaccinated people are more likely to be asymptomatic carriers as a result of havingess symptoms, aka SUPERSPREADERS.

Further FURTHERmore, having people who are vaccinated, yet still infected, provide a much more significant vector for the virus to evolve.

Did you even read a single thing in the comment that you replied to?

Lol. You're cute little "further FURTHER more" really drives the point home. 🙄
