[QUOTE="Mojambo, post: 1519566, member: 11076"] The goal of this thread is to present popular, seemingly "logical" (and I use that term very loosely) analogies from the Covid cult crowd, and to brainstorm the most concise "comeback", since the long form answer of presenting real data rarely works on those guided by emotions. Generally I dislike new threads when others have addressed the same issue, but here I am guilty of creating one, so please forgive me. It's difficult to sift through the thousands of pages of the other excellent threads. I believe a consolidation of concise refutations[I] [/I]to very common Covid cult member mantras can act as a handy resource, ready for when you encounter one in person or online. Examples of a Covid cult analogy: [LIST] [*]"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 [/LIST] A possible answer (maybe not the best, but would like a brainstorm to refine it to a concise, irrefutable response): [LIST] [*]Drunk people can at least have a designated driver to take them where they need to go. Unless someone agrees to do my job (for which I get paid) and do all my errands outside the house, your drunk driving analogy is awful. This is beside the fact that if you're not drunk (i.e. healthy and/or naturally immune) you aren't deprived of your choice to drive. [/LIST] I will compile the bad analogies and their best refutations here: [URL]https://stopthepsyop.github.io/bad-covid-analogies/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
