I don't know how long you'd say is good, but given how much you've been moving the goalposts throughout this thread, I wouldn't put it past you to say it should be decades. If Jonas Salk were listening to you in the early fifties, we'd probably still be dealing with polio and it'd still be in trial stage, and your grandchildren would be telling anyone telling anyone who said we should just release the damn vaccine that we need more time.
I didn't claim the vaccine shouldn't have been released. I'm simply saying that people shouldn't be compelled to take a brand new vaccine that was put together way more quickly than any other vaccine in history. I took the risk and took the vaccine because of my asthma, so I decided it was a risk worth taking. Others don't want to take it.
Do you support 8 year olds being forced to take the vaccine or get kicked off their little league team, like is happening here in Canada? What are the chances of an 8 year old dying from covid? 1 in 500,000? And that's with most of those children having comorbidities. What's the chance of a healthy child dying from covid? 1 in many millions?
Did your god tell you that? Your pastor/priest/bishop/whatever? You are neither irreligious, nor an atheist. You wear it on your sleeve. You have all the same talking points (if one can call them that). It is exactly the same as talking to a fundie christian (and I have engaged lots of those).
At this point, given the arguments you present, I am convinced that you are a wolf in sheeps clothing hoping to "expose" the atheists. I will continue to hold that view until I see tangible evidence that I am wrong. Should that arise, and I doubt it will, I will happily raise my hand and say yes I was wrong.
But for now, my conclusion is that you are in fact a fundie christian. Your current posts show it. Your past posts show it. Wanna prove me wrong? Go ahead, mate. All the posts are right there. Have fun and fuck off.
