The question was: what would constitute large numbers. You then cited 5,000 vaccinated people who have died.
It's hard to argue that that does not definitely imply that vaccines aren't effective.

But your questions have implications that follow general antivaxx sentiments.
And your question is problematic, as I've explained.
Further, if you're *just* asking questions, then that's a problem, because those questions are empty and only serve to raise doubts.
There are various ways to ask questions.
"Just asking questions" is a way to make a statement while retaining plausible deniability and responsibility for the ideas one is putting forth.
Conversely, were you using the Socratic Method, you would be attempting to reveal a bias, presupposition, or flaw in someone's epistemology of some kind, which is particularly useful in a disagreeable discussion.
It does not appear that that is what you're doing, however.
So I'd need you to clarify where you're going with that line of questioning, because the question is problematic, as is.
>Another question that will probably get me fried...but what do
>you mean by shit ton of assumptions? What data do you want or
>would you consider relevant?
Because you cited 5k vaccinated dead, and then cited that this with only 10% reporting- which unarguably implies that the actual number is far greater.
And we'd have to make assumptions to get to whatever that greater number is. But we don't know what that number is, and an empty, "just asking questions" style question just puts the idea into the ether, with no real direction or attempt at answering the question.
If you're saying that we have 5k deaths with 10% reporting, some of the data we'd need would be the information I list in the next passage.
>Again, ya'll are putting a lot of extras on a simple question.
> I aint said shit for or against the vaxx in here.
Again, your question has implications, absent more clarification on your part.

Cool.

Again, your question has strong antivaxx implications.
As I stated above, the number of deaths of vaccinated people is dramatically lower. So the dramatically lower number is preferable, and absolutely necessary for survival.
With due respect, you need to expound on your question, lay out a path with more pointed questions, or something. You need to rehabilitate your question in a big way for it to look like anything other than antivaxx sentiment.
I'm not calling you that quite yet, but your question does quack like that particular duck. Whether or not that reflects your overall ideaology is a different story and I won't put that on you until/unless further evidence solidifies that, but fam... you're on that path as far as I can tell.
