> "Travel bans don't work": supports banning the unvaccinated from traveling to particular establishments, supported preventing anyone from traveling pretty much anywhere during the first lockdown stages last year
The reason travel bans don't work is because we apply them too late and too selectively, because otherwise trade shuts down and we have other issues. A travel ban targeting African countries is not effective when the variant is already spreading on two other continents.
You also cannot ban people from returning to their home country, so there is no way to truly prevent variants landing on the soil of a country with a travel ban.
Establishments requiring vaccines acknowledge that you cannot stop the spread of the virus but require you take some minimal steps to reduce the risk profile.
They are not the same thing.
>- "Walls don't work": closes and locks door when entering own home, probably has walls in house too
Doors and windows will not stop a motivated person from entering your home. Neither does a wall.
People crossing the border illegally are motivated people, and a wall would not stop them either.
Doors and locks are there to increase the effort required to break in, which is often a crime of opportunity. Border crossings are not a thing of opportunity.
They are not the same thing.
> "Ivermectin is horse paste"
While I'm sure some people do not understand that Ivermectin is more than just horse paste, this largely has come out of people literally buying it in horse paste form from Tractor Supply and taking it because they think it will help with CV19. If someone is dealing with a parasitic infection then we should not mock them for taking ivermectin, but that has not been the context for 99.999% of all ivermectin related discussion over the past year.
