> This is likely because you're projecting positions onto the person you're responding to that they never state
Ironically, that is precisely what I see you doing. You need to reread this full thread because your comment is entirely off base. The person I was discussing with was expressly arguing against encouraging people to be vacinated to help protect other people. This was justified by referencing how we accept (or in my case don't) the risks of cars in our society. There was no mention of my or anyone supporting indefinite lockdowns.
> We can't continue to prioritize minimizing covid at the expense of all else forever.
Of course not. I support encouraging vaccines and mandating masks precisely because we need to end lockdowns and still need to keep our hospitals running.
That doesn't mean I will sit by while people make ridiculous arguments to against very good reasons for getting vacinated.
No, you are wrong, and didn't read carefully. The comment of yours that I took issue with your response to the user "luckylion", who's only mention of the word "vaccine" was to mention that he himself is vaccinated. The rest of both of his comments that you attacked based on false premises are exclusively about risk tolerance, and the fact that we can't keep focusing on covid to the exclusion of all else forever. It's possible you aren't as ideologically bent as you're coming across and simply didn't notice you were talking to different people, but either way it's not acceptable behavior, hence why I called it out.
I won't respond to the rest of your comment or any follow ups as I don't believe it would be productive.
