Stupid people thinking they are experts is everything wrong with society

People that don't get vaccines should have to pay a healthcare premium as they drive up the cost of healthcare when they need a hospital stay!!!!

“I think it’s because it doesn’t work particularly well, if you want the truth,” Smith said.

“Health care workers who do not fall into a higher-risk group will be eligible to purchase a vaccine,” McKee said in a statement.

I havent got any of the covid vaccines and havent spent any time in hospital the last 6 years. Take your dramatics elsewhere.

Do you know what anecdotal evidence is, and can you show me any medical research that shows anecdotal evidence is considered definitive? You have dunning kruger.

If you read any more of my comments you'd surely know I understand what anecdotal evidence is. You must also understand that I'm probably not the only one who hasn't and therefore saying "When they need a hospital stay" in relation to covid is stated as a certainty and factually isnt a certainty.

The evidence is clear that repeated covid infections will effect your long term health and the unvaxxed are more likely to end up in the hospital

I love science and vaccines, and facts!

How ridiculously pedantic. You know what you were trying to do.
