When a vaccine is viable and available...should the government, either federal or state, mandate it's use?

Should’ve included a poll.

There should always be a poll.

What…you missed part 2? I said no.

Why not?

I thought that referred to the other question. Why would you not comply, even when the micro-chip is touted as “for the common good”?

Do you mean republican and democrat governors alike?

I’m extrapolating from her sentiment that any republican governors still calling for any restrictions are actually filthy libs.

[Roxiebelle]

YES both actually because absolute power can corrupt anybody and there are Governors from both political parties across the country going power hungry & crazy and not only violating the Constitution of the United States, but in some cases Governors are violating their own State Constitution for whatever motive whether it’s for personal power or political power, but whatever the reason its NOT GOOD!!

So you admit that libs are filthy… good for you! Although that’s not exactly what I meant, but hey it works!

Just remember to primary those filthy lib governors like Hogan and DeWine.

The vaccine is for the common good. Not the microchip.

Not according to Bill Gates and Fauci. We need the chip because we need to trace infectious contacts in future epidemics. It’s for the sake of the children and the elderly. Really.

They’re not in my state, I’ve got my own Democrat “problem” to deal with and I’m signing a petition for a recall my states moron Governor.

Well it has to be effective. It does no good otherwise. In a hundred people that’s still only 25 people protected. Why would they even use a vaccine that only protects 1/4 of the population.

In the past decade, the seasonal flu vaccine has fluctuated between a low of 13% (2014-15 which was a particularly bad year for flu) and 60%.

Chief reason for the fluctuation is we have to make a best guess as to which strains are going to be circulating every year.

We still encourage it because even a less effective vaccine offers some slight protection.

I can’t believe you actually used that phrase after all the ranting and deriding you did when I pointed out that much of medicine is still “Best Guess”.

Priceless!

My definition of “best guess” is completely different from yours, of course.

Because science is hard.

Oh no. Everything is for the common good. How are we going to contact trace?

Exactly, SSFD

[WildRose]

By definition it is best guess since nothing is guaranteed.

Even if we know to a 95% certainty a given treatment works, you can’t guarantee it will work on any given patient.

You were wrong then and you remain wrong and you’re not going to dig, spin, or condescend your way out of it.

What is it you supposedly do “In the industry exactly?” Sweep floors? Empty Trash Cans?

best guess

NOUN

US

• A guess that is based on all the knowledge someone has, and is therefore as close to being correct as he or she can make it; the most likely deduction given the available information.

Origin

You certainly are not a scientist nor do you understand even the most basic concepts of “science” much less medicine and specifically epidemiology.

The only thing you’ve demonstrated is that you have access to a scientific calculator and that you passed a statistics course at some point.
