You caught me. 99.9999% was hyperbole, but according the AMAs own survey, 96% of physicians in the American Medical Association were vaccinated by last June, and that of the remaining 4%, almost half of those intended to get fully vaccinated. If my math is correct, that means <at least> 98% of American physicians are vaccinated by now. Admittedly, that is a subset of "all the Doctors and Scientists" and you're right, 98% is definitely not 99.9999%. Here's the link. I noticed that your suqpporting documents are still missing.
New data point toward high COVID-19 vaccine confidence among practicing physicians.

Now in fairness, I did find a Canadian survey that indicated "1 in 10 health care workers" remained unvaccinated (as of last July.). I'm not sure what exactly makes up a "health care worker" but I imagine it's everyone from physicians and nurses to chiropractors, naturopaths and PSAs. With a number of mandates coming in to effect since then, my guess is the number of unvaccinated health care workers is now much, much smaller. If I recall correctly, hospitals etc reuired staff to be vaxxed or lose their job, so that's pretty motivating. This shocking like how we require children to get vaccinated before they can attend school.
Your comment about "Many bla bla bla... aren't in vavour of mass vaccination" is also inaccurate. Yes, "some" are, but like the Doctors, the vast majority are in favour of mass vaccinations, including for children. And again, you have not provided any backing documentation. You continue to blow crap and my dude, you are simply wrong. Having said that, another friend of mine is in charge of Government Relations for a pharmaceutical company here in Ontario. His company does not play in the COVID field, but they do manufacture the influenza vaccine, as well as others. We were skiing last winter and discussing vaccines... I think Pfizer was about to be approved in the US at the time... And he commented that he would be first in line to get it, but that he would not give it to his kids until proper trials had taken place, "which would probably take about a year". So here we are a year later. I saw him again last week, and both of his kids (14 and 16 I think) are vaccinated and I imagine if his kids were 6 and 8, they likely would be too. Of course as before, if you can provide some sort of "proof" that backs your statement, I'd be happy to eat crow. Of course "many" isn't really a number.
As for my other friend, I think I called him dumb, not stupid. I was being polite, but in truth, he's stupid. He's a nice guy, but he's not a deep intellect. More blue collar type. He knows lots about lots of stuff, so I suppose I should have said that he's stupid "when it comes to vaccines and related stuff". Given his current medical situation, it's a bit baffling. I'm waiting for his oncologist to tell him that they won't treat him unless he's vaccinated... waste of resources etc. I hope not.
Regarding "stupid", I made a post on my FB page about my use of the world and vowed to stop calling people "stupid". Instead, I am trying to refer to them/you as mislead, bamboozled, hoodwinked, ignorant etc. I understand that there is a mountain of false information out there and that a lot of people believe it. However, believing something does not make it accurate. I don't know you, and you might be very smart, so I apologize for that. You are however, confused and misinformed.
Anyway, I really am going to ignore you now... You continue to throw out random comments like they are fact, and in spite of my challenging you, you have not come up with any supporting research. I even tried to find something that you might have misunderstood, or misquoted, but nope, doesn't exist. I appreciate that you may be trolling, but let me ask you this... and I'd appreciate your honest, simple, yes or no. Are you
@niceandnaughty partially, or fully vaccinated?
One last comment... As much as enjoy this conversation, it doesn't change the fact that literally everything you're saying is wrong. That being the case, I just feel sorry for you. Hence my question. If you're vaccinated and just trolling, that's fun, but boring. If you aren't vaccinated and you actually believe what you're saying, then that's unfortunate. You're lucky that you haven't got COVID and I sincerely hope you don't get it, although unless you live in your Mom's basement and never go out, the odds are not in your favour. Yup, lots get it and have minimal side effects, Lots die. And lots suffer debilitating long-covid. You can't eat out, you can't travel, you really can't do much of anything. But that's good, because people like you are a real danger because if/when you do catch it, it's one more chance the virus gets to mutate... in theory. Omicron is the typical of a mature virus in that it's really contageous, but not as lethal as earlier variants. I personally think we're near the end of this thing, but nobody really knows for sure.
