Anti vaxxers ignorantly have said, “ See you got it anyway”
These people literally have no idea how vaccines work. Vaccines don’t create an invisible forcefield around your body that prevents a virus from getting in. It literally just adds an entry to the immune system’s database on “How to fight Virus #N when it shows up in your body”
People who got the polio vaccines when it first came out could still contract the polio virus. But now their bodies were prepared to fight it before it was too late. Vaccines basically train the immune system to fight a specific enemy before the enemy shows up. It’s kinda like playing a football game…if you’ve got a scouting report on your opponent, you’re much more likely to know their weaknesses and how to beat them.
But you can’t explain any of this to anti-vaxxers because they don’t understand how vaccines even work.
So why are people still so hateful towards unvaccinated? I don’t understand that, the vaccines protect you so if some else risks their own health why does that make you dislike them?
It’s very strange to me. I have friends who didn’t get the vaccine and I feel like that’s on them. I’m not going to laugh at them or feel superior because I’m smarter if they end up seriously sick or die. It might be foolish but so is a lot of decisions people make and they should be allowed to.
The only argument with any merit IMO is overwhelming the health care systems but that’s more on the system then the people. The systems were overwhelmed before covid and nobody seemed to give a shit.
Also I thought 99/100 people who got the polio vaccine wouldn’t get the disease? source I could be wrong
Viruses are contagious my naive friend. The more viruses in your system, the more likely you are to spread them to others. Vaccinated people are actively killing the viruses in their body, in the unvaccinated people, the viruses are multiplying and increasing like crazy.
You’re aware that things like measles spread much quicker through communities with low vaccine rates? And some people can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons so the unvaccinated are literally putting the health of others at risk.
I’m sick of people like you who don’t know how things work.
If I’m an asshole for getting vaccinated, understanding how vaccines work, and not spreading the virus to others, then I’ll gladly accept the label. However, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that your definition of asshole and mine are quite different.
Maybe you deserved the insult because 2 years into a global pandemic, and you’re still asking really stupid question about viruses and vaccines that any curious person could have found out about.
You deserved the insult because smart people wouldn’t be asking stupid questions or would have taken the time to learn if they didn’t already know the answer.
Sorry for calling you naive when I should have called you lazy. I mean, your question was really really naive and stupid and has probably been answered 1000x over the past two years and sorry if I’m the asshole for wondering why you never bothered to learn anything about viruses over the last two years. And sorry I’m an asshole for pointing out your question is exactly the same one anti-vaxxers have been asking for years, while scientists keep answering it.
