It seems you understand the No true Scotsman fallacy about as well as you understand science.
The odds say you probably won't get Covid if you have been vaccinated. But the odds also say you probably won't get Covid if you mask and socially distance. Neither is an absolute certainty. Science says you can't say for certain that any given individual who receives their shots will be immune. You can only say that the majority of them likely will be. The No True Scotsman fallacy means someone makes an absolute statement than the moves the goal posts when it is pointed out that their statement is not an absolute. It is you that has committed the fallacy here.

Dude, I'm truly sorry that you are such an emotional person that you can't see the logic errors in your interpretation of my post. And this isn't the first time.
The fact remains questions are questions and those who dodge them have a motive for doing so. I'm always curious about human motives for doing things and am curious about yours. Think of it as a compliment.

Another example of your inability to follow linear thought. You are free to claim Noah built a boat large enough to hold all the animals of the Earth and survive for 40 days at sea, but forcing me to believe so would be telling me how to live. Likewise, your LW counterparts pushing you to believe the State knows what is best for you are seeking to force their beliefs upon yours.
Here's the problem for most Americans: Both positions are nutty and anti-American. So what do most Americans do? For one thing, most become Independents because the two largest political parties in the United States continue to put party agendas ahead of the Constitution. I suspect a large number of their members are just confused and choosing "the lesser of two evils". They are operating on emotion, not logic. Fear, not calculation.
