People assume things and judge, not according to truth and good will, but out of prejudices.

I’m overweight as well. I am not only my weight. There are aspects of my weight over which I have no control. I diet more than I don’t. I eat far less than many who are far smaller. But don’t we all have our peccadilloes to deal with? I’m not throwing the first stone at anyone.

As far as vaxxes and masks, I don’t honestly know. I want people to thrive. Even people I don’t like. I can’t “what if” because it’s a false dichotomy. I find that slope far too treacherous.

You sound like a striver to me. Good luck with getting whatever makes you happy and feel good. You matter.

But we know anyone, vaxxed or not, can spread the virus Yandex Jan 2022 #12

Vaxed reduce risk of spread virus .. (link inside) come on, stop. uponit7771 Jan 2022 #20

I wish you were right. From 12/30/21 Yandex Jan 2022 #32

CDC says Vaxed ***REDUCE*** spread didn't say STOPPED spread so in this case getting the vaxed uponit7771 Jan 2022 #43

There is contradictory information n/t Yandex Jan 2022 #47

No there's not, CDC is clear and no credible doctors are saying that vaxed aren't *REDUCING* risk... uponit7771 Jan 2022 #51

I like reading people's profiles. I think it often gives a good indication about people's motives. Scrivener7 Jan 2022 #58

This is a really stupid analogy. The rest of us can't catch your weight. Your weight Scrivener7 Jan 2022 #16

Anyone can spread the virus, vaxxed or unvaxxed. Yandex Jan 2022 #21

Again, vaxed reduce risk of spreading virus. Your analogy falls apart with science and facts and uponit7771 Jan 2022 #23

From 12/30/21 Yandex Jan 2022 #34

exactly, the vaccinated don't spread it, but the people who are unvaccinated spread it like crazy! cadoman Jan 2022 #116

In vaccinated people the viral load rapidly diminishes. In the unvaxxed it doesn't. Scrivener7 Jan 2022 #33

From 12/30/21 Yandex Jan 2022 #36

Red Herring, the question is does getting vaxed help others and the answer is yes way more than uponit7771 Jan 2022 #46

Factually false, getting vaxed *DOES* help *REDUCE* spread, that's from the CDC. You got some uponit7771 Jan 2022 #62

Another quote from your link..."a vaccinated person was less likely to spread the virus" uppityperson Jan 2022 #77

What does that even mean? dpibel Jan 2022 #60
