A poor argument. I'm unvaccinated because I am unconvinced that it is in my or society's beat intereat for me to do so. The avoidance of shaming those who are not vaccinated should be:

1) Because telling someone they're stupid almost never works when they have a community of people who agree with them.

2) Because it activates moral faculties that keep the shamers from contemplating if they might be mistaken.

3) Because bodily autonomy is an important enough issue for a principled stance to be taken against even effective and safe treatments.

I think shaming the unvaccinated is foolish, but playing to people's empathy to prevent it? That's the thing about "othering" a group: empathy no longer exists there. A poorly constructed emotional argument, but perhaps the only kind allowed here, as evidence based discussion of why one might not want to get the shot is an instant ban hammer.

Every single person I know has gotten the vaccine at least twice, some three times, and not a single person has had any persistent side effects.

I think the problem with saying the vaccine has all these side effects is that in placebo controlled trials a lot of people also get “side effects” from the placebo, either by random chance or they make it up. There really isn’t any evidence these vaccines (mRNA at least) have any serious level of side effects above background noise.
If you follow this reasoning, then you must also beleive that we should stigmatise people with other life choices that fill hospitals? Stigmatising obese people, people who drink alcohol, people who do extreme sports, people who have children late in life. Where does it end?

I agree we should be realistic and truthful about consequences for our decisions, but I do not think stigma will help improve the situation. It is more likely to lead to resentment, and polarisation.

I've never heard of that and I really doubt it. For example the album closer is obviously meant to be that.

But in a way, concept albums that tell a story from start to finish are rare so most of them can be played in a random order...

The comparison to drunk driving is apt. If you have to go to hospital with active covid you endanger the personnel and you take up a bed that someone else could use. Not too long ago there was a man in Alabama who couldn't get an intensive care bed because they were all taken up by Covid patients. (Let's face it, we know how that goes - if you end up in intensive care because of Covid there's a 50 % chance that you die, but only after a month, and a 50 % chance that you make it out of there with multiple disabilities.)
>Unless you have some evidence that this is both possible and happening, it's just a conspiracy theory.

As some have mentioned Lightbulb is one of those prime examples. Where vast majority of LED lightbulb offer say 10 years of warranty, and yet because manufactures know most people dont bother sending them in, they cheap out on quality. Most LED ( if not all LED ) dont fail at all, it is the controller that fails, it is expensive and makes the difference. As long as it last 3-4 years, no one is going to complain. People will attribute this failure to bad luck / QA and just buy another one.

As well as other mention of capacitor. One easiest way is to get have Power Unit fail after 3-5 years, which seems long enough for Consumer Electronics. Most dont go and figure out it was X failure and just buy a new one. Synology J series NAS power unit is an example of this.

Consumer Electronics has been doing this in China for over a decade. There are reason why things are cheaper. And most internet user are still stuck with "Spec" comparison as if spec means everything.

>And you're not even considering that the manufacturer has no idea when the hardware will be sold and therefore doesn't even know the date that the hardware "should" fail.

Electronics get used when they are sold. MTBF since usage in many cases can be extremely predictable.

There is another point to look at it, a lot of consumer actually prefer to have CE fail within reasonable time so they get an excuse to buy something new. The market for some people like me who thinks something should last at least 10 - 20 years is ridiculously tiny. Although the buy for life internet following is certainly helping a bit.

I believe the hope is, if being unvaccinated is stigmatised, people who are on the fence will become vaccinated, then we can finally beat this pandemic, saving tens of thousands of lives.

Of course, the fact being obese is stigmatised doesn't stop loads of people being obese, I doubt stigmatisation isn't a silver bullet for health issues.

I’m sorry that you had to be personally impacted to realize that Amazon is willing to screw you over rather than improve their processes.

To use an analogy, human beings in general and children in particular should be viewed as assets, not liabilities. Of course they require investment, of time, money, or both, but that's true for most if not all other investments too. And the potential payout is massively asymmetrical.

Of course it isn't. In highly vaccinated countries like Ireland (89.1%) the virus is spreading and the bar for "herd immunity" has been raised to 95%.

The daily death rate is the same as last year:

Unrelated to the issue of stigmatization, the obligatory reminder that Sweden's Covid-19 policies, while they resulted in a slightly higher cumulative death rate (1,468 per million vs 1,187 per million), are now producing excellent results, and the death rates are converging:

It's pretty simple: we stigmatize people whose choices place undue burden on others' ability to live safely.

Driving drunk?

Driving 90/55 on a crowded road?

Indiscriminately discharging a firearm into the air?

Exposing people to typhi salmonella after being established as a carrier?

Exposing people to HIV (and other STDs) knowingly?

Choosing to be unvaccinated against covid?

We seem to have a pretty consistent pattern here, and considering that remaining unvaccinated increases spread and increases everyone's risk of death (especially those who can't receive the vaccine), stigmatization of those who choose not to vaccinate without sound medical grounds fits this easy binary filter.
This is part of a bigger trend happening in healthcare right now.

For example, health workers are asked to replace "vulnerable population" with "oppressed population". It's also interesting to see the American Medical Association talk in a medical guide about "cultural appropriation" and

Right now in Australia, there is a huge gap between indigenous vs. non-indigenous vaccination rates.

Besides, they said this revolver has 50 chambers, which means 2 %, roughly in range. You’d also want to factor in that, from all I’ve read, people dying of COVID seem to spend a lot of their last days and hours of consciousness wishing they could go with the revolver instead.

Current numbers [0] show 1 in 417 people in the U.S. have died of covid. These fatalities tend to occur to people who are older and/or have other health problems [1].

Many people intuit that this is not the end of the world. Many may not be able to argue the case well, but they believe that the fear of covid is overblown. They don't believe that lockdowns and masks will make enough difference in the end, not for the pain incurred. Some are freaked out more by the vaccine but often this is subconscious reaction to being forced through all this trouble by a bunch of people whipped up into unreasonable fear by clickbait headlines and fanned by meddling or power hungry politicians. Quibbling over details doesn't change what they believe.

I would defend their position by saying that the per capita mortality rate for covid is similar to the 1968 hong-kong flu [2], maybe less. That was not the end of the world, either. Many people who were alive in 1968 don't remember it. We live in a word of longer than ever life expectancy. We are better than ever at keeping vulnerable unhealthy people alive. What do you expect? These things have happened before, and will happen again, part of living in the real world.

These people opposed to punishing young, and non-young, people who have a 1 in 10,000+ chance or less of dying, taking away years of their schooling, social life, and careers, because a bunch of people have a skewed perspective of risk.

Whether or not you agree, this is what a lot of people think, and why.

Supporting and expanding hospital facilities and targeted protection of vulnerable people like in nursing homes would have been my biggest concern.

Some people have good reason to be afraid. Others do not. I don't blame anyone for wanting to protect themselves. We should support that, too.

This would be easily solved if car manufacturers cared at all… simply cover the bottom of the car with panels. A side benefit would be the increased fuel economy from the cleaner airflow and reduction in drag (this is an inherit benefit of electric vehicles—-especially trucks). It’s not done because no one looks under their cars and it’s easier/cheaper to manufacture and design for cooling.

I should add that installing a simple piece of metal cut to fit over the bottom of your vehicle isn’t a great idea if it doesn’t properly account for the changes in ventilation and cooling that it causes.
