We are all waiting for you to look up the statistics. There is nothing extraordinary about yourself having some vaccines, as you admit, but not all, and living to 82.

However those, over 82, who take one of the Covid-19 vaccinations will have a much higher survival rate than you, an anti-vaxxer, who refuses to do so.

Most humans evolved intelligence, through evolution, to understand these things.

Oh what are smoking? Those over 82 who take vaccines have a better survival rate, again what are you smoking Lord Fauci, is that You? And if I'm an anti vaxxer so what, tell me???? It's none of your business or anyone's what a person does or does not do re: vaccines or any health treatments for that matter.

And yet you seem awfully determined to make other people's decisions in those areas your business by actively coming to this site and making your preachy claims about them. No, sorry, you don't get to criticize people for what you disagree with and then scream "not your business!" when they disagree with you.

Hi, have you dealt with that deoxyribonucleic acid shenanigans yet?

Seems to me it's kind of a pivot on where honesty can be judged purely by the reply.

Yes "Caroline". Those who take the Covid 19 vaccine won't join the 500,000 US citizen who have already died from Covid-19.

You didn't even know that? That's amazing!

Live to be 100, I'm not thinking that and to me that can be a Curse also.

And I never smoked, my son in law is dead at 55 and he smoked, and drank, I did my share but haven't touched any booze in maybe 8 yrs or so, don't miss it, don't need it, don't want it and the money I save. Dad drank to 2 weeks before he died, beer, and he was almost 95. Dad never smoked, this may have been his saving grace, but he was so ready to check out when he finally did.

What else do you want to know.

OK. Fine. But.

Do you want to try and answer my question?

Could you please explain why your formula for long life is better than what I have posted from people who have lived to be 100 by smoking and drinking? Who should I believe? Why?

Or, in this case, the total lack of a reply. Caroline13 as not even acknowledged she's read and understood my post. When shown to wrong, she fled like Brave Sir Robin.

Well, the statistics certainly show that over-80s vaccinated agin Covid have better survival rates than those who weren't.

And if you haven't worked out the population level dangers of being anti-vax, I can only suggest you have not read much epidemiology nor medical history. Your rights stop where my body starts...You have no right to spread an illness which affects anyone else.

It’s generally a requirement of health-related conspiracy theories that their adherents are unaware that there are countries other than the USA that do not have the same healthcare model. Therefore the UK has to be part of the USA.

Derail but I swear that on more than one occasion in the US I've been asked where I'm from, I've replied "London", and the next question has been "what state is that in?"

You'll have to watch Talking to Americans^WP. I can't find the actual episode when Rick asked a question about kids' test scores in Canadian States to a mother with a child. When the mom started answering, the kid said," Wait a second . . . Canada has provinces not States!"

And there is a London, Ontario^WP. It's even on the River Thames.

There's a New London on the Thames in Connecticut too, but they pronounce it with the "TH," and a long "a."

Speaking of geographical illiteracy, remember that there's a good reason why the license plates from one border state read "New Mexico U.S.A."
