I posted a whole video summary of what Marty got right and wrong. Also, he was right with vaccine spacing that has come up recently as he got his vaccine doses spaced 3 months apart (in FEBRUARY). Why would I personally care about vaccine spacing? I got the one and done shot anyway. Marty was right about taking action early against covid that Fauci went on the air in NYC on Feb 29th telling New Yorkers that they can go on like normal. My personal philosophy is against restrictions in your view, right? Why would I be for restrictions then? I'm not against restrictions when they provide more benefit than harm. I'm for anything that provides more benefits than harm when you do a thorough risk-benefit analysis.
Ivermectin is being studied right now for covid, is penicillin?
The UK literally did what you're arguing against. There's also the argument for giving more people the 1st dose vs having less fully vaccinated to increase overall protection in the population. Also, it was a known thing that longer spacing yields better overall immunity in the end. There's more nuance in the debate vs merely 2 doses > 1 dose, which is true on an individual level but not necessarily on a population level. Then, all the boosters needed because the spacing wasn't done properly leads to more people in the world not getting vaccinated as soon as they could.
You can go issue by issue and find Marty's and Fauci's take on everything if you doubt the accuracy of the info in the video, they hit all the major debates up until that point of where Marty was right and wrong.
Lead by example.
If the virus spreads meaningfully outside, then super spreader events should happen outside, but they don't.
Are you literally going to argue catching the flu inside is less likely (or equally likely) than catching covid outside?
Again, where's your data of outdoor transmissions? All you have is that outdoor transmissions can happen in extremely small numbers. Normal breathing outside is not going 3 feet nor does it go three feet inside. Sure inside, it builds up over time and goes 3 feet and further. The natural wind disperses the virus outside. Your example of risk is so wrong. Talk to any infectious disease expert and they'll tell you outdoor transmission is way less and it has nothing to do with people spending less time outdoors. Here's this article about covid infection at a restaurant. If inside and outside were equally likely to spread covid, surely there's at least just ONE example of this happening during outdoor dining, right? Even if 90% of dining takes place inside and only 10% outside, you should have at least one example of this happening outside. Yet none exists. My argument has never been only about the fact there's less outdoor transmission, it's that mechanically viruses don't spread outside because of many factors that infectious disease experts know about. I might as well just say theaters are super safe because there's been like no infections in theaters (because they've all been closed).
That's completely unrepresentative of the argument.
All the studies outside of a flawed Kansas study on natural immunity show it's stronger than vaccination immunity. Look at the Israel data for example. You're also wrong about zero downsides. Studies have shown a single dose provides an uptick in antibodies to those previously infected; however, antibodies is not a sole determinant of immunity either. Antibodies fade (whether you get vaccinated or from being infected) because you don't need them unless you get infected, then you can make more when that happens. However, a 2nd dose literally provides no benefit to a previously infected person, that's what the studies say. So if you force someone previously infected to get fully vaccinated, you're forcing a medical treatment on them that literally provides them with no benefit. Also, Sweden and Denmark have now suspended the Moderna vaccine to younger people, the UK advisory panel did not recommend the vaccine to those 12-15. Some countries are now only doing a single dose to younger people because of the myocarditis issue. So forcing some say 24-year-old to get fully vaccinated after already having covid is providing 0 benefits with known potential downsides. What about the people in the Novavax trial that technically don't count as being vaccinated since it's not approved yet, are you gonna force them to get fully vaccinated again? There's nuances to everything and there's no such thing as one-size fits all. Reducing the debate to "you're killing grandma" or "but but my freedoms" only makes the divide even greater between people.
