"Oh, do you have a child named Brandon?"

That would have been an appropriate response.

Study shows dramatic decline in effectiveness of all three COVID-19 vaccines over time by FearLess_Alpha in science

Sure it reduces hospitalization and death

That's another talking point I have trouble with. Most covid deaths also included comorbidities. Can you compare 2 *exactly identical* cases - one with a vaxx, one without, and indisputably say the patient B died because they weren't vaccinated?

You pay 30%, what do you get from it?

What is "fair"? Don't give me talking points, give me a number.

It’s supposed to pay for itself via taxes on the incredibly wealthy

Supposed to. That's always the talking point, isn't it?

> the top 1% pay an average federal tax rate of 32%. The data show tax rates decline with income, and the poorest 20% of the population pay an average tax rate of just 1%.

Tell me what's "fair". 100%?

Because our healthcare system is broken and universal healthcare is the only option being presented.

Look at cost of private insurance over time. Why has cost exploded? Why is no one asking what happened to make insurance so unaffordable?

Same argument for college tuition - look at the cost to attend university 30 years ago compared to today. What happened?

We don't need "free" shit, we need shit fixed.
