[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8403969, member: 22779"] Heh, just had a conversation with a buddy who insisted that Pfizer and whatnot isn't a "vaccination" because they are not using the actual virus like you do with other types of vaccines. Kept going on about positive and negative spikes or some such. I'll admit, I didn't quite understand everything he was saying, mostly because frankly, I haven't really kept up with things as well as maybe I should have. The doctors say take the vaccine (or whatever) and I take it. They tell me to wear a mask, I wear a mask. What's the point of having experts in the field that spend years and years and more years studying this stuff if you're going to question everything they say? Particularly when I know beyond a shadow of a doubt he didn't understand what they were saying and was just parroting. I wonder if people do the same sort of thing with everything in their lives. Do people argue with their mechanic to the point of insisting that their mechanic (and every other mechanic they go to) is conspiring to damage their car? When their toilet backs up and the plumber comes and says you need to do X, Y and Z, and after a second opinion that says the same thing, do people just live in their own feces? Or, is it we are only supposed to distrust people who went to university? It just baffles me endlessly. [/QUOTE]
