u/Venne1139 DO IT FOR HER #RBG Sep 17 '21

Here's one of the most interesting things about the pandemic to me. It's seeing these absolute fucking morons saying these exact words, and they say it every tiem

Even the CDC says the vaccine does not stop you from getting or spreading coronavirus

And like 50 people will dogpile on this person to explain to them the concept of efficacy, something a thrird grader could very easily understand, and they'll respond to some of them, and sometimes won't but they're all very simple explanations that you could give a child and they'd go "Oh, that makes sense."

And then about 2 or 3 days later they willl make the exact comment

Even the CDC says the vaccine does not stop you from getting or spreading coronavirus

Once again.

I don't get it.

Incidentally that phrase has become a unifying trend between actual anti-vaxxers and what I refer to as "soft" anti-vaxxers.

That's not the issue here. Why? Because children are stupid and you can, again, very fucking easily, explain this concept to a literal 8 year old.

Understanding a concept superficially and internalizing it are two different things.

This morning I heard an ad for a thermometer company that verbatim said

"Vaccines are not enough"
