I think it's a risk vs benefit calculation, and I feel you don't need to fully understand the vaccine to do a decent analysis. I think "what are the risks now, and what is the possible future risk?". Since I'm not a biologist, I try to read about possible caveats from trustable

Yes, and that's great for you. But until you have done a rigorous investigation, you shouldn't _belittle_ other people for coming to a different conclusion, right?

I looked up statistics on it for safety and stuff when they were first being rolled out, and have a high level understanding of what the mRNA vaccine is actually doing, and also the clear statistics currently that they are effective and safe,

and have looked up most of the anti-vax complaints I've seen people spread (know a decent amount of them who keep posting *actual verifiable bullshit* about it on facebook)

Not sure if that counts as "super rigorous" as per your definition, but seems like enough for me, in combination with what the expert consensus is from people who actually know what they're talking about

I agree it is enough for you. My question is, is it enough to call other people "dumbass" for choosing differently?

the specific context of that tweet was calling people who cannot take the vaccine for medical reasons a dumbass if they are also a vocal anti-vax proponent

OK, so more specifically, you don't think people who decline to get vaccinated are "dumbasses" per se, just those who are vocal about it?

Replying to @cmuratori @sohakes and
personally I do think people who decline it are dumb or ignorant, but I reserve the term "dumbass" for extreme cases, such as that specific tweet which was in response to the combination of medical exemption AND vocal anti-vaxer

but this is also because the venn diagram of people who dont want the vax and the people who refused to wear a mask or thought masks were harmful is nearly a circle as well. that position does not seem to come in a vacuum on its own, based on people I know

Not sure how to put odds on SARS-CoV-2 mutation, but it's not that unlikely that masks will be relevant for a good long while regardless of vaccination.
