I have been completely receptive to this debate.

Not once have you provided any sources or countered any of my points factually.

Is it moral to ignore the thousands who have been exposed and hospitalized/killed from this virus?

My argument is not the mandatory vaccinations. I have already discussed I am on the grounds of maintaining bodily autonomy. This goes for preserving others’ health.

Yes, I appreciate that you acknowledged that.

I think this debate is more about the grounds of morality than the approach to medical treatments.

If someone wants to build immunity from exposure, that is their own risk. Don’t make it for them. That decision is just as bad as what you protest.

You admitted to contracting covid initially, and you are still susceptible to variants.

Immunity is conditional. Again, it’s good that you are healthy, but wearing a mask and social distancing when sick still keeps other people from getting infected (especially the immunocompromised).

I’m glad you recovered well and can take pride in your health, but this isn’t always experienced. Especially for the elderly, given their mortality/hospitalization rates. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/old...

Taking steps to ensure others are healthy and safe is our responsibility.

No problem! I hope these help! Finding them certainly helped me in different areas, since last I researched this was in 2022.

What I’m seeing in 2020 articles, death rates were possibly exaggerated due to lack of information, but updated sources are best for reference.

Here’s one from 2023 directly talking about your concern.

And 2024 for other statistics.

Thank you for taking those steps even if they made you uncomfortable. What you decide to do is completely your decision, but your experience shouldn’t discredit others who’ve lost loved ones from covid.

Getting to hear others’ stories and reaching out to different communities is your best source.

Here’s a wonderful source for looking through the patterns of vaccines’ side effects, including covid.

Vaccine production takes time, even during pandemics. The time which the vaccines were being made was fairly early due to skipping usual timetables. coronavirus.jhu.edu

In 2022, during omicron, covid was labeled the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

The covid vaccine is the first and only mRNA type on the market!

This is mostly due to funding and how, despite the gaps, the research is fairly “recent.”

There are more mRNA vaccines being tested to hopefully treat Ebola or HIV. Earlier studies were trying to treat rabies in 2013.

Bodily autonomy is important for everyone to have to themselves. Refusing to take measures to ensure others don’t get sick is another discussion, vaccine or no.

It shouldn’t have to be mandatory to be courteous of others’ health.

That’s a great question!

There are different types of vaccines: inactivated (flu), live-attenuated (measles), and mRNA (covid).

There’s also a whole other list for vaccines that treat things like Hepatitis-B and HPV!

hhs.gov was useful for looking at these! chop.edu is another source I found!

That wasn’t any part of my debate.

Natural immunity is a conditional state of the body. It has to encounter the same strain/genetics of the foreign body to counteract it. If it evolves, the host’s immune system will have to fight it again.

Please see the above source.

Viruses have the ability to evolve. In vaccinated communities, some people still succumb to mutated strains of viruses. In unvaccinated communities (either by choice or lack of accessibility), they have the risk of making MANY strains.
