What I was trying to say with my comment's to Ram's message was this:
It's fully to see Greene and others like her basically do this:
Downplaying Covid-19:
"Covid-19 only has like a 1% mortality rate / it's no worse than the flu / these lockdowns are bad and masks suck and I want my freedom!" [despite hundreds of thousands of deaths]Fear-mongering of vaccines:
"I heard about some people dying of the vaccine! It's poison! I don't trust it!" [despite a very minimal number of people having complications, which I imagine are well within the negligible range of complications, no different from other vaccines or drugs]If these people would have reacted to Covid-19 the way they've reacted to the vaccines, with their fear and resistance, we'd probably not be in the situation we're in, 1 1/2 years later, staring down a never-ending story of needless hospitalization and death. But they don't understand math at all, so, here we are.
Don't get me wrong, I hope all of us who took the vaccines are safe long-term and don't suffer unforeseen consequences. I'm occasionally nervous about it, but I put my trust in the scientists who have been working towards mRNA technology for decades, over the opinions of people like Greene who know absolutely nothing about science or vaccines. I hope we're not all test subjects in a big regrettable experiment that's going to affect our health down the road. I think that a lot for my kids. They're 4 and 6 1/2 and I'm incredibly hesitant to get them vaccinated even if it were approved for them. I want some time to pass before I get it for them.
That aside... I want to live in a world where people like Greene have no authority or intellectual toxicity over anyone but their immediate household.
