Logical Fallacy… can I get some help here?

by DATA-DOG in

dr. leanna wen is currently spreading the fallacy that unvaccinated persons should have vaccines mandated because they are like drunk drivers… they have the right to be drunk at home she says, but wanting to be part of society at large without being vaccinated is like driving drunk and putting others at risk.

besides ignoring the science proving that persons who have had sars cov-2 have natural immunity that equals or exceeds anything that could be imparted from the mrna shot, without the side effects or need for boosters, ( sorry big pharma, you’ll be losing $$$ ) this illustration just smacks of illogical reasoning.

it reminds me of the borg comparing getting baptized to getting your driver’s license.

The doctor’s analogy is logically sound, though that doesn’t automatically mean the conclusion applies to the different situation, so it could be considered a hasty generalisation.

Comparing an analogy involving unvaccinated people with people who have previously been infected is ‘shifting the goalposts’.

Comparison with the unrelated JW analogy that happens to mention drivers’ licences is an equivocation fallacy.

It’s nothing to do with JWs, they’re just quoting the forum’s domain name in their tacky spiel to try to sound relevant.

I’m sure lots of JWs refer to themselves as a “Jehovahs-Witness”. 😏 Does anyone under 70 say “the Covid”? 🤔 Totally not a scam. 🤦‍♂️

The Last Day

by johnamos in

[7-1-98 wt – martha said of her dead brother, lazarus: “i know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (john 11:24) how did she know that?

…she might even have learned this from jesus himself.

(john 6:39 - this is the will of him who sent me, that i should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that i should resurrect them on the last day.

The ‘last day’ in the story of Lazarus’ resurrection, found only in John (the latest of the four ‘gospels’), cannot be attributed to any specific time period as there is no frame of reference. Even if it is assumed that the story refers to real events, it is supposed to indicate a period of time of ‘1,000 years plus some undefined period’ to occur after a supernatural appearance of Jesus that early Christians expected to occur not long after the ‘great tribulation’. (The ‘appointed times of the nations’ to ‘trample the holy city’ refers to the Roman military occupation of Jerusalem for 3.5 years - 42 months, 1260 days - that is, Rome’s response to the Jewish revolt in 66CE until the city’s destruction. The ‘great tribulation’ was the consequential destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE.) No supernatural manifestation of Jesus occurred after that event, and various reinterpretations and apologetics have been attempted ever since, many of which attempt to place some kind of fulfilment in a near future.

Aside from there being no good reason to believe in any literal fulfilment of the claims in Revelation or the gospels about resurrection, the JW interpretation is especially flawed. The Bible doesn’t say that anyone is resurrected during the thousand years. It says the first resurrection before the thousand years is that of the great crowd - the people from all nations who serve as kings and priests for 1,000 years. The Bible also suggests the 144,000 are only resurrected after the 1,000 years, and it says they serve as kings without any mention of them being priests, and they rule with Jesus forever.

What Will Happen If You Do NOT Get The Covid Vaccinations?

we are encouraged to all, if possible, get the vaccinations.

if you don’t, we are told that we definitely could get the virus.

fair enough.. but what happens if you decide you aren’t going to get the shots?

Jeffro

If enough responsible people get vaccinated, that also helps protect the selfish, the lazy, and the conspiracy nutters, along with those who have legitimate medical reasons not to get vaccinated.

On copper it’s less than four hours. But on stainless steel and plastic, both of which are common on plumbing fixtures and many handles or utensils for other purposes, it can be up viable up to a couple of days if in a humid environment that doesn’t dry out quickly.

So the take-away message is to get vaccinated.
