I hope a lot of comrades in the previous thread realize that it's easy to couch anti-vax conspiracies in left-wing logic. It's also possible for people on this site to spread anti-vax talking points without realizing what you're doing.

"The Moderna vaccine only lasts six months" - we don't know this. We know it's lasted about six months so far. It's impossible to know if it lasts any longer because it has only existed for six months. And even if that were true, it would still make the COVID vaccine far more effective than the flu shot, and nobody's conspiracizing about that one. If you see someone saying "it only lasts six months", please correct them by saying "it lasts at least six months." Right now, Pfizer has announced that their vaccine is 91% effective against infection and 100% effective against severe disease after 6 months. Moderna has announced similar results. We don't know how much longer it goes because, well, linear time.

"The J&J one casues blood clots" - we don't know this. We have found 6 clots in people out of 7 million who got the vaccine. It is incredibly hard to prove causality in public health science and we are light-years away from being able to say this definitively. And regardless, if you had a 1 in a million chance of getting serious blood clots from J&J you would still be far more likely to die from driving 30 minutes to your appointment than getting the vaccine.

"There are reasons to distrust a united government and media front" - This could be said about anything. It could be said about Flat Earth or QAnon. Sure, it's also been true about awful shit the government did, but that is not evidence in itself to suggest something is up here.

"The vaccine was rushed" - Probably true, but a rushed vaccine would literally save hundreds of thousands of lives compared to none at all. The goal isn't to make the perfect vaccine, the goal is to get something out there that works and put it in arms.

The fact is there is an insane amount of evidence that the vaccines work and there's a difference between healthy skepticism and refusing to look outside and see the mountain of evidence that it works. Cases and deaths are plummeting as soon as the vaccines rolled out en masse. I don't think this forum has many anti-vaxers, but I do think it's easy to disguise anti-vax propaganda and get well-meaning leftists to regurgitate it. Please be responsible and don't fall for it.
