Surely pro-vaxxers are effectively in agreement with anti-vaxxers

Aren’t pro-vaxxers actually anti-vax to some extent (or large extent)?

Pro-vaxxers preach that vaccines provide immunity, and that is why they happily take jabs.

But then they claim that anti-vaxxers are endangering them by not taking the jab, which implies that they believe that the jab they have taken does not protect them from the infection that the anti-vaxxers are spreading.

So they end up on the same page as anti-vaxxers, who also don’t believe in the efficacy of jabs against disease.

What has convinced you that logic has anything to with do with it?

Seconded. It’s the not doing what you’re told to that so utterly pisses them off, let’s face it. The rest is just the “because”.

I was pleased to see that UCU have had some push back from members, in connection with their argument that all students MUST be injected, saying that they are not going to act as jab police no matter who tells them to.

Agree, KarenEliot and Gerard.
Another hardly adult reaction is to castigate hesitants as selfish. There is no logic to this either; obviously if a hesitant declines a vaccine they think it’s not good for them. That’s reason enough not to take it.
There could be a category of people that think it’s a bad idea individually but take the vaccine for the benefit of society. That used to be called the empty set…

“Piers Morgan has called for anti-vaxxers to be banned from social media as they are “destroying everyone’s chances of freedom.” Morgan would also like to see the followers of vaccine sceptics re-educated” https://richieallen.co.uk/piers-morgan-ban-anti-vaxxers-re-educate-their-followers/
