    Again, this is one of the oldest and most ignorant antivaccine tropes out there. I was dealing with it 20 years ago. It ignores the fact that no vaccine is 100% effective, plus the issue of herd immunity.https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1418995613719478273 …

    I still dont understand why vaccinated people are so upset about unvaccinated people. Vaccinated people are safe now, are they not?

        Except that in this case, it is the CDC putting out the disinformation that if you are vaccinated you are safe.

        Plus, even if it were 100% effective, younger kids still can't get one.

        Also people like my brother and dad who are both immunocompromised. My dad's MS treatment effectively destroys his immune system every 6 months. The Vax likely didn't "take" for him. My brother has complex immune deficiency due to chromosome deletion.

        The amount of people in the comments that don’t understand the virus needs to infect to mutate is gross. You gotta love when people with no education in evolution or virology put their two cents in on viral mutations! (Not)

        I think it’s a valid question. I’m vaxxed. Why do I have to worry about the unvaxxed if they choose to put themselves at risk.

        Because they fill up hospital ICUs and surgeries so ppl with other medical emergencies cannot be seen Because they are prolonging the pandemic for all of us Because that’s how new variants form

        It's like traffic signals. They don't provide maximum protection until everyone obeys them.
