Correct but initially the anti-vaxxers stance was "I'm not going to take an experimental vaccine because I don't know what's in it". Which, let's be honest, if one of the scientists who developed it came out and told them they'd get this look:
It was sad to see people posting 'experimental' as opposed to 'emergency'. An emergency authorization shortens the time line largely by pushing research results to the front of the line for review and skipping bureaucratic delays, not by skipping critical steps. People used 'experimental' out of ignorance or, as you point out, to undermine faith in the vaccines. The results speak for themselves.
I’m still of the opinion that if a vaccine comes that will limit transmission of upcoming variants that it should be mandated federally, but besides that I’m more or less down.
I find that interesting. We’ve had 500k new cases and 5000 deaths over the past two days. What is the reasoning behind lifting now ?
Went back a week
I'm growing toward the view that now that the vaccine has generally been distributed that instead of actively mandating everyone get vaccinated that we continue to distinguish between those who have pitched in by getting vaccinated and those who have not through policy favoritism. Those who aren't vaccinated are not allowed in public events, planes, their kids in school (like MMR is already required) etc. Otherwise leave them alone. We give vets special positive treatment for their contributions to our society's safety, why not treat the vaccinated the same way?
Really have no words for this type of Orwellian thoughts. So if you’re not vaccinated (a vaccine which currently doesn’t prevent or even significantly slow the spread of the virus) you shouldn’t be allowed in public places nor should your kids be allowed to attend school. This goes even beyond fascism. The fact that there are people in our society who believe this way should scare us all.
That’s not true. There are a lot of things that are good for people that don’t sell themselves.
The only difference is that normally your stupidity only hurts you. When it begins to hurt other people that's a problem.
No... but they believe in "the science"... and "the science" changes to fit their narrative
I quit wearing one when i got the second shot.. gotta trust "the science" right?
Is a Covid resurgence in the cards? Overseas cases and waste water tests clues are positive.
Rise in COVID cases abroad, presence of omicron subvariant may foreshadow increase in US: Experts
An uptick in the presence of COVID-19 in U.S. wastewater sites comes as countries in Europe and in Asia are seeing significant viral resurgences.abc30.com
6th or 7th largest plague worldwide.(Depending on whether you count aids.) Over 6m deaths. Will stay there, cuz the Third Plague had 12M. It ain't going to double the deaths at this point.
