Uhh, no, you’re the one being corrected. You’re so god damn stupid that you don’t think “prevention” includes efforts to keep people from dying. This is LITERALLY the reason for all medicine. To PREVENT people from getting sick and dying.

Gladly. Not that the vaccine completely prevents spread, but it helps. Not that some on here will buy it:
Blockquote
However, data show fully vaccinated persons are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2, and infections with the Delta variant in fully vaccinated persons are associated with less severe clinical outcomes.
In conservative media circles, yes. Not in reality.
From 51’s CDC page:
data show fully vaccinated persons are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2
And the data’s there to look at.
The point is that the vaccines are effective. They were VERY effective against Alpha, reduced with beta, and especially reduced with Delta and Omicron. Those reductions in effectiveness mean:
The vaccines were ALREADY valuable in protecting against old strains, and
The vaccines are STILL valuable in protecting against new strains, just not as much.
For some reason the conservative media machine ignores those 2 points.
The effort to keep people from getting sick, developing severe disease and dying is working. It’s literally working. Look at the data above.
Dude, you’ve unequivocally gotten your ass handed to you on this one. And you know it. Not only is your “prevention” opinion fucking stupid, it’s also wrong, and the data is posted above.
I should have clarified that they aren’t preventing the spread. Reducing, yes. They were oversold to the public and aren’t nearly as good as they were promised.
Like any medicine or vaccine it takes time to see how effective it is. Clearly it’s not limiting spread as much as hoped. But it’s better to an nothing. And most importantly, it vastly reduces severe disease and death.
So for some on the right to completely dismiss it, say it doesn’t work and should be pulled altogether is both wrong and irresponsible.
And it’s not my opinion…It’s simple English language.
Look up any definition of prevent online
“To keep from happening”
And the first simile is “stop”…
Simple stuff here. Vaccines obviously aren’t stopping covid…The whole late December and early January I was told there were record daily cases. So it obviously isn’t preventing them.
Same converasation we had September/Octoberish…You were corrected then. The definition of the word “prevent” hasn’t changed
(Now here comes the reason why is he a fucking cunt, watch this)
It clearly doesn’t prevent…“Prevent” means if you get the vaccine, you can’t get covid…It’s the definition of “prevent”…to “stop”, “to make something not possible”…That’s not what is happening, so it doesn’t apply
Simple English language lesson here you fucking ratard (Borat voice)
This faggot will keep responding all night,…Like he will literally sit here and go back and forth with me all night til 2AM over his stupid mistranslation of a word. Mind boggling and embarrassing
I didn’t deny anything you fucking cunt…Vaccine appears to be helping against serious illness (although again other countries info is not quite as clear on that as America’s)…But I’ve agreed with you on that. And you don’t know anything about the science, you never have…You are simply a sheep regurgitating what Fauci tells him
I’m telling you chose the wrong word…And you clearly have. Prevent means “stop”…“Keep from happening”…It clearly isn’t preventing
