The vaccine is not pointless. I've never once argued it was pointless. I think the vaccine is effective in lessening symptoms. I've never told anyone not to take it or said that people should not take it.
At the same time, the whole story needs to be told. Natural immunity is also effective, and should be taken into account, and therefore vaccines should not be mandated for anyone at all, especially those who have already had the virus. And the fact is, there is no data demonstrating that young people need them anyway, as they are at virtually no risk of serious illness or of dying from this virus.
Further, people need to be aware of risks of vaccine, that people are having serious side effects, and people have died from taking the vaccine, so that people can make their own choice in the matter and not be coerced by lies on the internet. This is further reason why they should not be mandated. If there is no liability for vaccine companies, then certainly vaccines should not be mandatory.
Further, in spite of the narrative and fear porn, the vast vast majority of people getting seriously ill and or dying from this virus, are still the elderly and/or people with multiple co-morbidities and severe issues.
Further, as the post above I posted shows clearly, hospitals are not filling up. Hospitals spiked a small amount recently, and are already trending down. While it may have happened in a few places, it is not happening all over the country, and there are plenty of beds. There aren't near as many people in the hospital as at the peak of covid and we never ran out of hospital beds in spite of setting up tents in the park and sending in the USNS Comfort which we never used. We aren't going to go over capacity this time either or even get close.
Finally, not only all of that, but in spite of the lies that have been told on Tik Tok and scary headlines in this thread, that data from CDC shows clearly that young people still are not being hospitalized at any significant rate. It is virtually the same as it has always been during this covid outbreak. Anyone believing that narrative isn't following the data but the headlines and fear porn. The CDC itself in that picture above proves that.
People need all the data, not just the narrative coming from Fauci and the MSM.
Oh, and masks clearly and demonstrably don't work
