.... because it reduces the chance of severe illness and death?

And it also reduces infection rates. I don't know why y'all keep leaving that part out. Like, do you actually believe that it's a choice between zero and everyone gets it tomorrow? Where is this coming from?

With respect, no it doesn't decrease infection rates. Please check the Israel infection graph.

Yes it does. Half of Israel's cases are coming from their 20% unvaccinated population. That's 4 times MORE likely to get it if you're unvaxed.

So you're happy that half of the cases are vaxxed people? See the meme above.

If half the cases are coming from one-fifth of the population, that means there's something about the one-fifth that makes it spread faster.

If the vaccination rate was 50%, you'd be right, but in Israel it's 80%. The other 20% are the ones getting sick.

I'll say it as many times as I need to.

I want you to do this. This is just a thought experiment - the world will not end if you just participate in a thought experiment - BUT DO IT. And don't assume you know the answer already. Do the following.

Imagine you have 8 men and 2 women.

Now tag 2 men and 2 women as "dead". Any 2, your choice.

How many men survived? How many women survived?

But didn't you tag 2 men and 2 women? Wasn't it the same in both groups?

And yet, ALL the women died, and only a quarter of the men died.

Which group is surviving better?

THAT'S what it means when half the cases are from the 20% unvaxxed.

You are correct, but the meme is not claiming that unvaxxed has a lower chance of getting infected. That unvaxxed get infected is a given. Also, you are not allowed to put any more comments unless you comment through a meme.

You asked why, I told you why, and then you refused my answer why.

If you weren't interested in why then why did you ask why?

And I'll answer your bad faith arguments any way I want to, thanks.
