Vaccines are good, get boosters as soon as they are available to you, and just keep getting them.
But, they're not great. They don't completely stop you from getting or especially transmitting the disease. Their efficacy wanes over a few months, which is why we need to keep getting boosters. Basically, vaccines are not a substitute for any other prevention measures. Mask up; stay away from people as much as you can, especially in enclosed spaces; spaces with better ventilation are best, including outside.
I love antivaxers who are like, "What, are you gonna get a VAXXINE every YEAR?!? You know its not a REAL vaccine if it doesn't make you immune for life!"
And like, I already get a flu vaccine every year. You gotta get tetanus vaccine every ten years. Rabies vaccine only lasts 6-24 months. All this shit ain't new or unique to the covid vax, even if it does use a different technique (mRNA). Just like them sweatin bullets for our Poor Soldiers, FORCED to get vaxxed, as if they don't already have to get a big extra list of vaccines, that gets updated when needed. Extra ironic too, considering they're literally selling their bodies to the government to do with what they will.
antivax wrecker shit from a user who has posted only two times :debord-tired:
If you can't tell whether OP is sealioning,
Can I get a nuanced rundown
Tbf: Basically all posts/comments from a few months ago onward are now archived to improve site performance, and are inaccessible even if you search for them. The top of their profile says they've made over 100 posts and almost 400 comments total, so not a wrecker at least, I don't think.
yeah i didn't realize that...
so many old effortposts are hidden :cri:
some dudes youtube channel I never heard of
So you're glancing at a Wikipedia article to jump to conclusions. I'm pretty sure OP is asking for information beyond what conclusions you can find by reading his Wikipedia article, otherwise OP wouldn't have bothered to make a post. Basically: how does what other people who are knowledgeable about vaccines square (or not square) with what what Campbell says?
i don’t give a shit he has a phd in nursing education and deliberately misleads people by calling himself “doctor” when he knows exaaaaactly what people will take from that while talking exclusively about medical topics
Having a medical education PhD probably makes him more qualified to discuss about public health than someone with something like an MD in family medicine, if we're going to split hairs over credentials. This isn't like some PhD in mechanical engineering speaking authoritatively about macrobiology without any investigation or background.
How much of the stuff he's said about things like Ivermectin is explainable due to misreading info and flawed preprints (a genuine mistake, and possible to conclude within the bounds of what's said about him on Wikipedia), or is he systematically ignoring information and skipping investigation (quackery)? He could still have become a quack, but you're really jumping the gun here with what you wrote.
20 years after rotting in a patch of dirt
Hey how did those long term studies on the effects of the vaccine I refused to take turn out? Oh really, no autism? Still, I’m glad I nobly took the cautious position and died for it (more literally likely killed their grandma than themselves)
If you'd like to see some discussion of vaccine shortcomings outside of antivax quackery, @hostilearchitecture has discussed it a few times recently:

With respect to John Campbell, I haven't kept up with him so I can't say much about whether what he's been saying more recently is quackery vs. honest mistakes in misunderstanding and misreading things vs. actual discussion of problems that otherwise are unfortunately mostly covered by right-wing antivax outfits.
