I find the constant shifting of goal posts irritating to say the least.
Right there. In your first sentence.
That's HOW science works, particularly in areas that are brand new to research. Conclusions change as new data is found.
You know, like a never-before encountered disease that's mutating -- fancy scientific word for CHANGING -- as it works its way thru the world's population.
The problem isn't that scientific conclusions are changing as new evidence is found. The problem is that a whole lot of people want to learn something once and never, ever have to change their mind about it -- and that's a sub-optimal life strategy too many of them want to impose on everyone else.
Oh, but the conclusion is still the same after all these changes: everybody needs to be "vaccinated" (it's not a vaccine)
Everybody who does not get vaccinated (now: does not get a (second) booster) is a certified Bad Person tm and Killing Grandma.
If we were remotely engaging with data, we'd be hearing about treatment options instead.
Talking about treatment options is even demonized as "promoting vaccine hesitancy" and similar neologismic pseudoderogatives
We do talk about treatment options. Doctors and scientists have been working very hard to develop and learn effective treatment options. The fact that the mortality rate has dropped from the early days is very much due to the conversations that doctors and scientists have had amongst themselves.
Note the proviso above. That's doctors and scientists talking amongst themselves. It's not Edgar or Karen, none of whom bothered to learn much of anything in school (or afterwards, for that matter), talking amongst their ilk deciding whether UV rays up the wazoo or swallowing bleach or using horse dewormer is the better treatment. Those folk's rantings about their preferred treatment are just sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that NOT GETTING THE DISEASE is a SUPERIOR method of damage prevention to that of TREATING THE DISEASE after one has it.
Nor does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that if YOU DON'T GET THE DISEASE YOU CAN'T GIVE THE DISEASE TO SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT's why we're pushing vaccinations. Because they are doing a great job -- and so do social distancing measures. Both reduce the chance of getting the disease and spreading the disease.
Treatments are only effective FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY SICK. That means damage
has already been done and the possibility of
worse damage is now on the table. So while good treatments are an awesome thing to have, they aren't the first choice.
And here's one other very important point. Those viruses don't GIVE A DAMN about your notions that things should stay the same as the first time you learned them. Those viruses are out there mutating -- i.e., changing and adapting to find more efficient ways to infect other living creatures. They can change with each generation and, boy howdy! the time between generations in a virus is very small compared to that of humans. So get with the program.
I would also suggest you start evaluating your source of news and information -- because you need better ones.
