Here's a fairly recent example, fact check included
The fact that the majority of patients are vaccinated is a statistical effect
At the beginning of November, all Covid-19 intensive care patients were vaccinated in a hospital in Antwerp, Belgium. A video with this statement by a chief doctor is distributed on social networks and suggests that the vaccinations are not working. Without context, however, the video is misleading - the patients belonged to risk groups, the vaccination rate in Belgium is very high.

Don't bother Saka, I think it's clear to anyone reading this that your opinion is misguided and ill-informed.

But even the most authoritative personalities are sometimes wrong. Einstein once said that the splitting of the atom is impossible, .

I think you are mistaken there Snapstr. At most he was sceptical.
BurstarLMAO did you even read this link?
).BurstarNobody who understands the science believes Herd Immunity is technically unattainable.
Sir Andrew Pollard, head of the Oxford Vaccine Group, told British lawmakers Tuesday that as Covid vaccines did not stop the spread of the virus entirely — with vaccinated people still able to be infected and transmit the virus — the idea of achieving herd immunity was “mythical.”
"Eine Herdenimmunität wird es sowieso nicht geben. Das war von Anfang an eine Illusion, weil sich diese Coronaviren ständig verändern."
Unter anderem hatte zuletzt der Virologe Hendrik Streeck betont, mit den verfügbaren Impfstoffen lasse sich keine Herdenimmunität erreichen. Die Vakzine seien dafür auch gar nicht entwickelt worden, sondern für den Eigenschutz. Und auch der Berliner Virologe Christian Drosten sagte kürzlich in einem Interview, es sei von Anfang an ein Missverständnis gewesen zu glauben, eine hohe Impfquote könne auch Ungeimpfte schützen.

The vaccine is safe, fully FDA approved (for those 'muricans out there, and indicates it will be approved elsewhere soon if not already). The odds of a concerning side effect are ridiculously low: less than 1 in a million (you're more likely to drown in your bathtub, granted this is a cohort SOME of us are more likely to be in ).
Billions of doses have been administered without any doom and gloom predictions coming true. Stop being a coward, get vaccinated (and also wear a mask and social distance even when not required). Your loved ones will thank you for it.
Jason AndrewsThe vaccine still prevents you from having any serious problems with the virus. Why take the chance?

Two options here, Burstar: EithernoneONE of the leading virologists in the UK and Germanyunderstands the sciencehas given up trying to convince you fools and is simply wording it politely, oryou're talking out of your assI'm only willing to listen to scientists that agree with me. What are the odds?

Reinfection + variants. Same reason why there's no herd immunity against the common cold.

Proven wrong.
BurstarNo, that is not what that paper 'suggests' at all. For starters, the word 'mutagen' does not appear even once in that paper. Also, this line "no evidence has been published that SARS–CoV–2 can infect thymocytes or bone marrow lymphoid cells" is extremely important for understanding the true meaning and scope of the paper. Can you tell me why?
