YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and bloc...
One of those "idiots" clogging the hospitals is my friend's mom. Daughter asked her to get the vaccine. An apparently healthy and not a very old woman ended up in the hospital with ventricular thrombosis three days after the first shot.

The “idiots” comment refers to people who did not get the vaccine and are hospitalized with Covid. So not your friend’s mom.

Why do you think an anecdote where you don't even know all the details matters?

At least you didn't accuse me of lying right away. I'll give it another 10 minutes.

Why accuse you of lying when we can point out that anecdotes should carry nearly zero weight in comparison to statistics?

That's the funny thing about statistics. Once you are the unlucky 0.001%, you won't be thinking about it.

That's the funny thing about statistics. They say you're more likely to get unlucky due to covid than due to a covid vaccine.
