Lots of people are lazy and don't care to get a vaccine to a virus that sucks for a little while but rarely kills you. Viruses evolve and adapt, you know. Or maybe you don't. If you do get the flu, if you're in relatively good physical health, you'll probably survive.
Yes, very few people still get polio. And they can still get illnesses that have vaccines if they aren't vaccinated. That's kind of the point of getting vaccinated. They don't stick a needle in you for fun.
First, you don't have to get vaccinated. I never have. And about 98% of every human i know doesn't. They build antibodies naturally. As that's natural.
Second, more people will die of the flu than this Chinese flu. On aver it's 60K in America that do even with that vaccine you mentioned. Which you shrugged off. I knew you would and that's the point.
Thid has no cure. People will naturally die from it. It's old and sick people that are those dying. Just like with the annual influenza. So, listen to your dumbasses and thank your local teachers for fucking you up mentally by not teaching you critical thinking skills.
Oh, Jesus. You're talking about critical thinking when you can't even read. Why am I not surprised?
I never said everyone needs to get vaccinated. You don't even understand how vaccines work: they're antigens, like impotent versions of a virus/bacterium that enable the body's immune system to recognize and react accordingly to foreign antibodies. There's a difference between immunity and successfully fighting off a disease. Immunity means your body is so well-prepared that you easily fend off a disease, possibly before symptoms even present. It's like practicing for a game. If you don't bother to study your opponent and just wing it, it's definitely possible to win, but it's that much easier to lose if you don't prepare properly. It's sad that I even have to explain this to someone who's supposedly an adult.
Second, "more people will die of the flu than this Chinese flu." What? How? Do you mind citing where you got that graphic citing death statistics? The CDC (right, they're morons, so why trust them, right?) says around 40% of adults get flu vaccines. 60,000 people of around 330,000,000 is 0.018%. COVID-19 has a mortality rate of 2-4%. If you go with the lower 2% mortality rate, that's still over 100 times deadlier than the common flu, you dumbass.
Third, of course there's no cure. That's why it's a big deal. No, it's not just the old and sick that die with COVID-19. There are people from all age groups dying, except younger kids seem to be doing better in general.
I am eternally grateful that my teachers and professors didn't let me end up a dumbass who spouts "critical thinking skills are important" when they are completely devoid of critical thought. Maybe if you finished high school you'd know what critical thinking is. You should change your sig because it makes you look like an idiot when you basically ignore medical experts, multiple governments, and basic statistics in favor of a fringe paranoia site. Even Fauci knows this is a big deal. I mean it's kind of his job. Belief is NOT a substitute for knowledge. Follow your own advice for once.
Not only are your statistics wrong about the Chinese Virus you misrepresented the American side of the Flue too.
And the average age of death of the Chinese Virus is still 65+ and that's including worldwide and places of bad health. Third world countries.
And it's funny, you pick and choose your "experts" and in turn fudge dats to try to make your points. You bring up FauXI. the guy who said this is nothing to worry about and to get on cruise ships and party back when Trump instituted the Chinse Travel Ban which fauXI said was not needed.
Dood! You're a fucking shill. Nothing more. Again, you are the perfect kind of Sheople that the bolsheviks and reichstag were desiring. Never ask questions just do as you're told.
