Hopefully he loses his medical license once convicted.

Because the vaccines still significantly reduce the spread along with almost entirely eliminating the chance of serious illness or death.

Those "useless" vaccines have saved more than a million lives in the US alone.

Because it has stopped the spread. It would be nice if people stopped acting like the vaccines never prevent infection, because they do. Even though 50% is not ZERO. Source: I and half of my family have not had covid. My vaxxed son had 2 roommates get covid 2 weeks ago, he did not. My daughter works retail, fully vaxxed, no covid.

Um, what? Immunizations very much serve a purpose in reducing severity of illness!

Not everything can be combated permanently from a vaccine, but the purpose is to keep people from dying.

You know, like how smart people get an annual flu shot?

It is small IF YOU ARE FULLY VAXXED

Many healthy young people have died from covid, including children. And many are now permanently disabled from it.

Mostly we dont care anymore if stupid people decimate their numbers. But we do find it disgusting when you kill the elderly or disable children for life. And we will all carry the tax burden of supporting the covid disabled for life. But we arent paying for your hospital bills or funerals anymore

If course it matters. It is fraud and medical malpractice. Healthcare workers largely have to be vaxxed. If you end up in the ER you vax status matters a lot.

Plus you are wrong. Obviously the vaccines have almost stopped spread or we would still have overflowing hospitals and businesses closed because all the employees are sick. The vaccines do prevent infection in varying degrees of effectiveness. No infection means no transmission. They also mean shorter illness with less viral load which is less transmission. Your post is dangerous disinformation

Wrong. It was to prevent hospitalization, death, and taxing the healthcare system/workers.

That was literally never the point. The point was to reduce hospitalizations and death, which it did very, very effectively. Then we learned it also helps reduce spread and said great, another benefit even if it wasn’t planned! At no point did anyone connected to the vaccines say they would stop the virus from spreading, at most they said the vaccine helps reduce the spread.
