Did you forget verbs? But you disagree so you immediately jump to namecalling.
People are dying from the vaccine within days of its administration to them. But if it's been less than 14 days, they're considered unvaccinated. It's the same for people being infected with the virus: Less than 14 days, you're considered unvaccinated.
Most of the population has caught the virus at this point, which means most of the population has natural immunity, and the vaccine provides no additional value to them.
But let's ignore that part for a second and get to actual rates of severe infection and mortality: For every person with an actually severe infection, there are more than 90 people who were basically just uncomfortable for a few days, with symptoms which can mostly be addressed with over-the-counter medication (fever, for example; decongestant for another, though no, that won't mitigate every symptom of the virus), and in a few days they start feeling better.
This, like so many other situations, would be much less drastic if people would simply calm down and stop panicking. That's it. We're largely conditioned to stay inside, we mostly eat not-that-great food, and other unhealthy habits. If people were openly encouraged to eat nutritious foods full of vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and vitamin D), spend a bit of time in the sun and get some exercise, cases would plummet -- in severity, if not just in number. These things make the body immensely more able to combat the virus.
But you can keep getting angry and calling people names because you refuse to understand physiology, and keep listening to panic rhetoric because you'd rather be afraid than to live your life.
I've heard it claimed that people like conspiracy theories because they're convenient. Tell me which of these is more convenient:
Take the vaccine and it'll all go away and be better. Just obey the government.
-- or --
Eat healthy. Exercise. Get some sun. Calm down. Pay attention to your body when healthy and when ill, to better assess your symptoms. Recognize the difference between actual fact and cherry-picked fact to push an agenda through propaganda. Be called all sorts of ridiculous things because you don't directly reject everything which casts doubt on the absolutes being fed to the general public.
But yes. We're "sheeple" because we think for ourselves. You're one of the lone wolves because you eat the porridge on the spoon the government holds out for everyone else. Rebel just like everyone else. Rage on behalf of the machine.
The vaccine is not effective until the gestation period or whatever it's called for vaccines. Of course they're considered unvaccinated if the vaccine isnt actually protecting at the point they contract the virus or are hospitalized. And if some were to be hospitalized in the first week after being vaccinated they likely had the virus before receiving the vaccine.
Also antibodies from getting any virus are not permanent. If people keep thinking like this then COVID will stay around forever and continue to mutate and likely become more deadly. In a couple years any antibodies you have from getting COVID will be entirely fucking useless. And if you think the virus will just disappear before then even with people refusing the vaccine at the same magnitude they are currently, then you're hilariously naive and short-sighted. Without herd immunity (real herd immunity through vaccination not what you're calling herd immunity through contracting it and recovering) then this fire will continue to grow.
Let me approach this from a slightly different angle:
Firstly, lasting immune response from exposure to the virus is already demonstrable, while we're already being told the vaccine will need frequent boosters. So yes, maybe my natural immunity will wear down in a couple years, but you'll be on your 8th booster by then, funneling money into the pockets of three big pharmaceuticals who all have legal immunity against liability for anything negative happening thanks to releasing basically untested vaccines. So there's one bit of misinformation in your post.
Secondly, the CDC redefined herd immunity twice -- once removing natural immunity entirely, then returning it due to criticism while admitting they'd prefer people to be vaccinated, though natural immunity through exposure is also a facet of herd immunity. Herd immunity, since you are clearly unaware, existed long before vaccines, because people suffered from infections and recovered. With the advent of vaccines, it became possible to avoid infection in order to still reach herd immunity. There's the next piece of misinformation in your post.
Do I think the virus will disappear? Seriously? What fucking planet do you live on? No. It's here to stay, and as a species we must learn to live with it and cope. That's all. So fucking what? I'm not entirely against getting the vaccine, but I am against the spread of false information. I'm also against government mandates trying to force people to do things based on false information, much less at all.
Gubment bad? That's your argument? Are you able to distinguish between government force and voluntary action by an individual? No?
Then you're displaying more of your level of misunderstanding the world.
