@moe433 Not too hard a concept. A grifter, like a snake oil salesman, claims to be selling you something beneficial, but is actually selling you something completely useless, or even harmful.
So, for example, Dore claims to be for M4A. He promoted Trump (platform: toss 10+m of the poorest Americans off of Medicaid expansion) as a better option than Clinton (platform: add 40m older Americans to Medicare expansion), which is going outright backwards. He peddled Tulsi M4A is unAmerican Gabbard, over Bernie, outright campaigning against M4A. He peddles sitting on the sidelines in some irrelevant third party, and letting corporate Dems and Republicans rule for decades to come, which gets you no closer to passing M4A. He publicly abandoned Nina Turner, abandoned adding another M4A yes vote to congress, which gets you no closer to passing M4A. The government negotiated under $20 vaccines, that are then given out for free, is like a tiny taste of what M4A would look like, and he continuously sows distrust in the government and "big pharma", while peddling more expensive, paid for out of pocket, alternatives ... peddling the more privatized healthcare options. He, and Max, spewed misinformation about the UK's completely socialized healthcare system, sowing distrust in that system, which is even left of M4A.
All the directions he leads people get you no closer to, or even further away from, M4A.
Get it?

@adaminfinity1733 Absolutely nobody said vaccines were 100%. No vaccine is 100%.
In a highly vaccinated population: There are dozens to thousands of measles and mumps breakthroughs a year, in the US alone. The mumps vaccine is about 88% effective, and about 90% of kids get vaccinated, due to public school mandates. So, here's how a breakout works ... In a population of say 1000 kids, 100 have zero protection, and 900 have 88% protection. That means 100 unvaccinated kids, and about 108 vaccinated kids, have the potential of catching the mumps, if it is introduced into the community. That would be 52% of the cases having been vaccinated.
The more you lower the vaccination rate, the more people would end up catching the virus, and the more unvaccinated cases you'd see. If only 65% of the kids were vaccinated (the US covid vaccination rate), that would be 350 unvaccinated kids, and about 78 vaccinated kids, with the potential to catch mumps. So that's about 18% of those with mumps being vaccinated, but more actual cases of mumps.
A higher percentage of vaccinated people in the hospital is what you want to see, in a highly vaccinated population. Without the vaccine, there would be the potential for all 1000 kids to catch the mumps, and even though that's 0% vaccinated infections, that's what you wouldn't want to see, and which is what you seem to be ignoring.
