Bad Covid Analogies
Participate in the discussion here: RVF Thread
Looking for strong, concise, rhetorical rebuttals to the following reoccuring bad analogies (will rely on RVF's voting system to put the best retort in this consolidated resource):
- "We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated. You have the option to not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can't go out in public." - Leana Wen, CNN
- In the U.S.: "But you are required to get immunizations to attend public school"
- Why do you have a problem with mask mandates? It's like seatbelts.
-
Participating in society unvaccinated is like running around with smallpox. The unvaccinated must isolate knowing the harms they can cause until vaccinated.
- "If smallpox turns out to be rampant again, and people are insisting on running around public places where they might have smallpox ... we're [at a simular situation]" - Noah Chomsky
-
If masks are so useless, why do surgeons wear them when performing surgery? #45

Covid vaccines are like condoms in that they're not foolproof. Unlike condoms and their efficacy in preventing unintended pregnancies, the vaccines are more effective and safer in preventing severe Covid-19.
