You're anti-science because you're against science which is saying that SARS-CoV-2 is quite unlike polio, which even with polio we were vaccinating near 100% not a random number like 70% (for a more infectious virus none the less). What fake news reports to calm the public and what our reality is differ quite a bit.
In fact, we didn't eradicate polio, it still exists and because polio vaccination rates are going down there are pro-vaxxers who were trying to explain to anti-science people that even a small percentage of anti-vaxxers is enough to put the vaccinated people in danger of catching the disease. SARS-CoV-2 has been undoing all the hard work pro-vaxxers were doing to educate the public on how stupid it is to be an anti-vaxxer by spreading blatant lies and misinformation.
Even worse are the lies about stopping mutations, you need to understand that the vaccine only lowers the chances of you showing symptoms or dying if you do show symptoms. People who are vaccinated can catch and can spread SARS-CoV-2.
The only method of treating this pandemic is for people to stop listening to politicians and recognize we all need to self-quarantine. People want to believe the vaccine is going to end the pandemic when every medical doctor knows it isn't. This has become endemic, it is going to be with us for the rest of our lives.
It's called science, which people like you don't like to believe because it reveals inconvenient truths.

Appeal to authority is not a valid argument. You have NO ARGUMENT because science has proven you're a lying trump voter.
You do realize your entire argument is "ionizing radiation can damage cells, ergo non-ionizing radiation can't damage cells" which only someone who never graduated would claim is a logical argument. Besides, we don't even need to damage cells to have an effect on cells, I mean, this is logic 101.

Sorry you fake science lunatic, but science proved you wrong.
SARS-CoV-2 is not going away, the economy is already ruined. Repeating pro-vaccine propaganda isn't going to change that SARS-CoV-2 is going to be with us for the next century, that everyone will catch and spread SARS-CoV-2 regardless of vaccination status, that the non-sterilizing immunity provided by the vaccine is only effective at reducing mortality rate.
There is never going to be a "back to normal" ever again... the sooner you all get this, the sooner we'll get the numbers under control. Stop thinking these vaccines are a solution and that the problem lies only with the anti-vaxxers. You all did this too when it was "if you're masked, then you can violate self-quarantine and go spread the virus, killing thousands because you're too selfish to remain home."
The reality is that your overly optimistic statistics were done on people who wore masks and self-quarantined while they were vaccinated. This push to make the spread of SARS-CoV-2 worse by pretending these vaccines have eradicated the virus is insane.
"But more importantly, are people always entitled to their opinions no matter how wrong, illogical, at times even prejudiced and self-centered, incorrect, etc, they are?"
This is especially why people are entitled to voice their own views, because nearly everyone on this planet believes those who don't share their views are "wrong, illogical, at times even prejudiced and self-centered, incorrect, etc." We, as a species, have this horrible tendency to join up with people of similar ideology and then brainlessly begin parroting anything else we learn from those people. This is the reason appeal to majority is a fallacy, it doesn't matter how many people mindlessly repeat the same things over and over, it's a question of whether those things are right.
More so, deprogramming people who have gotten themselves in these groups is near impossible. They reinforce their beliefs with the knowledge that there are hundreds of thousands of others who believe the same thing and they can't all be wrong.
"How come today, including on public forums such as this, many people MAY come out to challenge them and in others, they are just accepted as an unfortunate statistic, is that normal?"
In terms of group think, it is quite normal for people to attack those whose ideology doesn't match that of the group. It is effective, especially when in person, to use the power of numbers to shift a person's ideology to a new ideology. Why do you think there are so many Trumpers? Part of the lie we tell ourselves is that there are good people and there are bad people and we are "obviously" one of the good. There are just people, they will always naturally gravitate to like ideas but can be made to adopt ideas they never considered in their lives with only a little pressure. Most people don't honestly like thinking, most people are followers who want to be told what to think, who want others to agree with them even when they're objectively wrong...
And X-rays are also EM radiation, but no one is trying to convince people that it's absolutely safe to bathe in a field of them. UV is also EM radiation, great for causing melanomas and burning your retinas.
What is so imaginary about the proven fact that holding a mobile phone to your ear is marked with an increased risk of cancer? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28472042/
There is plenty of evidence about how human caused EM pollution is affecting the migratory patterns of birds. Is it really so hard to believe that negative health side effects can occur in humans?
Good subtitling has everything the actor says, and sometimes you'll find stuff that was barely audible that the subtitles read loud and clear. I recall once, while watching The Ring, there was a barely audible part where the main character said something akin to "where did you go?" (while she was standing at the bottom of a creepy well looking for the creepy girl she followed into the well)
I absolutely hate that subtitles almost never match what is being said, be they English language or foreign language.
