Here's my problem with all these pronouncements.  And what's more important than what they're saying is what they're not saying.  Taking this last piece of the article,  "it was necessary to keep wearing masks in crowds, when people are near others whose vaccination status they don't know". 

 

So I got the Moderna vaccine and I am puzzled why the vaccination status of strangers matters to me?  Because the premise behind getting vaccinated against COVID is to not get sick from the COVID virus.  So even if there are un-vaccinated or COVID positive people in "the crowd" if the vaccine works I should not get infected.  So why should I care about the vaccination status of everyone in the crowd as long as I know I am protected?  I've done everything I can to make sure myself and everyone I have a responsibility for is protected to the best of my ability.  I've done my part here.  If others choose not to do that then that's the risk they take and that's their decision.  Free will and the right to choose.  I'm not responsible for them and its not my concern.  

 

So what are these epidemiologists implying here?  Are they saying the vaccines do not work?  Are they saying I can still carry and incubate the virus in my system even if I am vaccinated and have antibodies in my system that stop the virus from replicating?  Does the vaccine actually stop the virus from replicating or does it simply stop it from producing any of the symptoms of the infection?  We need more information than just opinions, conclusions, and recommendations of epidemiologists.  We need the details on the facts and the information they're using to reach their conclusions.    

‘They’ don’t know answers to any of your questions.
 

A lot these things are dumbed down pseudo science.

 

Like wear a mask... not wear an n95 with a specific kind of filter proven to capture droplets or aerosol transporting the virus.  
 

Or stay 6 ft apart, not stay x ft from what sized human who has x lung capacity in what environment relative humidity air temperature and air recirculation.   you telling me you can’t sneeze spray more than 6 feet? 

 

The most scientific aspects of all the half measures are the specific hand washing guidelines and self isolation to reduce human contact and of course the very scientific vaccines, while albeit bringing numerous unknowns are certainly proven near term in their efficacy.

I assume most businesses will be doing that on their own. On the news earlier, they said the WH was “handing down those responsibilities to industry.”

 

1 year from now:

 

FOX: Biden Administration pulls Vaccine Awareness Campaign from WH.gov in a blatant attempt to kill Republicans.

 

 


You think businesses that have been ***** for over a year being required to either be shut down completely or reduced capacity are going to go with that?  Good luck. Ain’t gonna happen.

More importantly.....where is this "1 more year" nonsense coming from?

 

No explanation

 

No justification 

 

They just think they run the country.  

 

That's why ceding power to bureaucrats is the greatest threat in the history of the republic.  You will now kind of maybe get your freedoms back (they will redefine those) with all sorts of caveats.

But you voted for the guy who said he alone could fix anything and he knew more than the generals.

You need to let go of this Trump obsession.  Your failure to move on here leads me to believe you might be secretly in love with this goofball.  After all you bring him up in all your posts.  Face the truth, he's gone now.  Maybe get some grief counseling or something?

The country just cannot force vaccinate you. And they cannot take away your right to a life

 

As I've already said over 40 states have exemptions from vaccinations. Stupid liberal ones have taken away your freedoms and it doesn't make it right 

 

You have a 99.7% chance of not dying from covid without the vaccine.. you can't force people to take it


Just dropped my dog off at the groomers. The owner told me she had to close for 4 days last week because an unvaccinated employee got COVID.

 

She had to close for four days - pay for everyone to get tested - pay a professional to come sterilize her shop - her 10 hourly employees didn’t get paid and her business lost revenue because of this one incident.

 

“Don't be stupid - get vaccinated”

Laughable - I need to move on from Trump and your party keeps pointing to the guy who lost the popular vote twice - impeached twice - lost the House, Senate and WH - incited an insurrection - as leader of the cult.

 

Look in the mirror all pro

Why did she have to close? Who said so? Or did she choose to close?

The vaccination status to strangers matters because we are all incubators of the virus.  Viruses need hosts to propagate.  In vaccinated people the vaccine is very effective at blocking entry of virus into your cells.  Thus the more people vaccinated, the less availability of hosts for the virus, and the less virus to be spread.

 

The vaccines as I understand them create antibodies against the spike protein responsible for viral entry into cells.

Why are you getting all freaked out? I doubt restaurants, etc., would do that for obvious reasons, but places like Verizon, other large companies In sure will have something in place for their own protection.

 

Remember, that liability protection thing Mitch wanted in the stimulus bills was never included.

He got you the miracle vaccine.  So yes.  He did fix it.  And he was right about the testing.  He was right about contact tracing.  He was right about everything.  Its why you can't quit him.  The virus did the exact same thing everywhere all over the world the only difference is Trump refused to surrender the Constitution with a "strong national response."  But that's over your head I can explain that in another thread called Federalism and Liberty 101 for dummies.  

 

In addition to all that he brought you,

 

A Roaring economy 

 

3 fantastic SCOTUS Judges 

 

And exposed the media, Democrats, and Silicon Valley as the fascists they are.

 

 

And the Generals know how to fight wars.  

 

They don't know which ones we should be in or not.  The Guy you thought would start WWIII was the only POTUS in 40 years not to engage in any conflict anywhere.   

 

 

#Cult45Forever

 

We have more fun then the Mask Cult.

That business must have really pissed someone off or didn’t comply in some way. 
 

That’s what schools have to do. I haven’t heard of a business doing that yet.

1.5 million saved.  How was that compared to France or the UK or Germany or Spain per capita?  You know that continent Fauci Cult told us "did it right."  Like New York!

 

100s of millions more saved because of his vaccine.  

 

He's saved more lives then penicillin.

Clearly you didn't lose anyone close to you due to COVID.
