Well, you don't seem to have a coherent argument. "Vaccination saves lives" and "vaccines are saving lives" doesn't mean "vaccines save every life." You're arguing against something nobody is stating.but to say "vaccination will save lives", while maybe true for the flu I don't even think that's provable for Covid-19 yet... And I'm not suggesting at all that vaccines for Covid shouldn't be taken I'm stating that it's not enough.
It is 100% absolutely provable that the covid vaccines are saving lives...
If that's what you took from my post then you win...
And while "vaccines are not enough" and "we should do everything we can" are agreeable in general principle, most people aren't going to extend that to "we should pump people with possibly unsafe levels of unproven drugs." Certainly there should be trials run and effectiveness and safety confirmed before just issuing prescriptions for random drugs willy-nilly, yes?
There's already a half dozen or so drugs recommended by the NIH for treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Hospitals and doctors are not shying away from using drugs as treatment, provided there's evidence that they work:

And the vaccines are the best prophylactic available, and are basically the gold standard for prophylactics for a disease.
Well... I didn't say "you" win. Firstly my argument isn't against vaccines, I agree 100% percent that vaccines are the best course of action. It appears you aren't capable of reading a full argument without coming to a conclusion.
My argument is that we should be doing more than just vaccination and your assertion that I'm stating that I'm refuting an undeclared argument of "vaccines save every life" is incorrect but actually is precisely why I'm suggesting doing more than just vaccines... but again I'm not even arguing. But since you brought it up... just because we have the technology to do quadruple bypass surgeries doesn't mean that we don't advocate for eating healthier.
So my argument is perfectly coherent... we should explore more to save more lives.
Sadly the is seems the majority of posters here are just bullies and, again, that's ok. I'm clearly not the target audience for ars as it seems a lot of ars folks just want to pile on and "me too" which is fine, negative feedback loops can still be defined as positive depending on how's getting the reinforcement... and since I don't fall in line with the masses "vaccines will save us all" I guess I get to get beaten up, which again is fine. It's just sad that we can't dialogue cause we all have to try and win.
"Yay internet discourse!"
And again for the record... get vaccinated.
