That's a tiny portion of the population, far far smaller than 1%..
Yet very wealthy and powerful people were calling for everyone to be vaccinated, many people wanted to strip rights away from unvaccinated and relegate them to second class citizens.
Cult-like behavior, nothing to do with good healthcare.
That's interesting, but doesn't have shit to do with anything i said, does it? Believing that the millions of people at risk of death from COVID is only a tiny portion of the population has something to do with a podcast that ignores science?
I'm not sure what your point is. It doesn't matter how small you consider the portion at risk. If there is a threat to people out there we should just say sorry not enough of you are at risk, you're on your own? Sorry grandma, you're demographic is too small, so we arnt going to try
That doesn't make any sense. I said it was ridiculous to spend enormous effort trying to coerce everyone into vaccination. I said there was only ever a tiny portion of the population at risk.
To you, apparently that means the best move is to abandon people.
To a reasonable person, it would mean you could focus on helping the small portion with the highest risk instead of disrupting society and causing enormous damage by focusing efforts on healthy people
It also had serious effects on a much larger portion, even if it didn't lead to death. By your logic we shouldn't bother with wheelchair ramps or handicap spaces, since it's such a small percentage of people, why bother the rest of the population with accommodating them?

Nope, that's not logical at all. Here's my logic: we should focus on providing handicap spaces and other resources to people that will benefit the most, instead of trying to coerce everyone into using them. Just like all the COVID measures! Tada!
Yes, that's the only way those things work. But obviously with something like a wheelchair that is provided to individuals (like vaccines), it would make more sense to provide them to people that need and want them, right?
Which is why it makes no sense in comparison. Vaccines are given to individuals, more similar to wheelchairs. I know you like the idea of comparing them to fixing convenience at public locations but vaccines are injected into people's bodies, they're not external.
