“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does.

          nobody was being an asshole to anyone. the OP was addressing people aging yet not updating their thinking with new information. then when you made your asshole comment (yes, you were the first asshole), he even clarified without being an asshole back.
