They say masks don’t help prevent catching the virus.
I don’t know. It’s all so confusing.
I’m glad I’ve already had the virus and, therefore, don’t need the vaccine.
It’s because of breakthroughs infections it’s not complicated tbh and the current variant is more contagious that previous ones the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from catching it just helps prevents severe cases or deathThis the reason for vaccine hesitancy, I'm sorry for making this somewhat political but it's true. The message from the Biden admin makes less than zero sense. We're at like 1/10-1/20 or deaths/cases from where we were at the height of this pandemic. Trust the science right?
Yes, but telling people that the vaccine doesn't prevent you from catching it is a great determination for many that are resistant to get a vaccine that apparently only works if you are fat and old.It’s because of breakthroughs infections it’s not complicated tbh and the current variant is more contagious that previous ones the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from catching it just helps prevents severe cases or death
Do we have data to determine this variant is worth FORCING vaccinated people to wear masks again?! Pretty sure if this were true, cases vs death would correlate similar to the height of the pandemic, they don't.It’s because of breakthroughs infections it’s not complicated tbh and the current variant is more contagious that previous ones the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from catching it just helps prevents severe cases or death
If my kids have to do more virtual so help me GodThis is so blue state teachers don’t have to work this fall and can cite new CDC recommendations. Don’t assume they just don’t know what they’re doing.
Fvck Fauci and whatever horse he rode in on...(I sounded like a bammer just then, ZFG)..gat dang it here I go again in another COVID thread, but fvck things like this make me irate.
I’ll never wear a mask again. Except on a plane so I don’t get kicked off
Will depend on if your county is blue or red unfortunatelyIf my kids have to do more virtual so help me God
Praying they don’t man.If my kids have to do more virtual so help me God
GAHD DAMN IT!!!
No offense to the well-intended libs of the board, but this is definitely going to be an inflection point for the rational thinking people and the braindead.The tipping point. Here we go…..
I posted numbers a week or two ago that showed that the risk of hospitalization from COVID for kids aged 5-17 is about half the risk of hospitalization from the flu for the same age group for the 2018-2019 flu season. There is basically no risk for school kids. This stuff is insanity.World Health Organization does not recommend masks for children. A unvaccinated child is statistically safer than a 30 year old vaccinated person. The difference is WHO doesn't have teacher's unions writing their policy like the CDC does.
Masks are literally the least effective intervention we have. We have all literature pre-2020 and more than a year of data that backs this up. It is an aerosolized respiratory virus, unless you are wearing a perfectly fitting K95 and everyone is wearing one you are accomplishing nothing, let alone a lose fitting cotton mask on a kid.
Get more people vaccinated asap
Yeah who could imagine that things would change constantly in dealing with a novel virus and a pandemic. It's outrageous.I'm old enough to remember the whole "just two weeks to flatten the curve"....

Agreed, but this is the absolute worst possible message you can send to Americans that are vaccine hesitant to get it. Who classifies as a "public health leader", Fauci, the guy that said at one point masks weren't effective and then lied about it? This message is just total shit.Get more people vaccinated asap
This is all so fvcked. I'm vaccinated and I'm going to have to start wearing a mask at work because I work in a federal facility. Too many ignorant fvcking people have decided they know better than 99% of the healthcare professionals and virologist in the world. Thanks guys, I really appreicate it.No offense to the well-intended libs of the board, but this is definitely going to be an inflection point for the rational thinking people and the braindead.
I agree, we've done everything we set out to do in terms of the pandemic being a public health crisis. ( that aspect is over now) Mask/social distance to give time for hospitals to prepare, PPE for hospitals, vaccine available to all that want it...and now back to square 1. Just fvck that.Yeah who could imagine that things would change constantly in dealing with a novel virus and a pandemic. It's outrageous.
That doesn't make any sense.Yes, but telling people that the vaccine doesn't prevent you from catching it is a great determination for many that resistant to get a vaccine that apparently only works if you are fat and old.
This is actually a good point. Why would you expect people to run to get the vaccine now that you've told them they still need a mask even if vaccinated.Agreed, but this is the absolute worst possible message you can send to American that are vaccine hesitant to get it. Who classifies as a "public health leader", Fauci, the guy that said at one point masks weren't effective and then lied about it? This message is just total shit.
Yep, the messaging has been total shit, and btw per the data the people not getting vaccinated are in major cities(NYC, LA, Chicago) that are yet again having mask policies forced down their throats based on ZERO new EVIDENCE. (1/20th the amount of deaths during the height of the pandemic). So why should they get vaccinated if nothing for them or their lives will change?This is actually a good point. Why would you expect people to run to get the vaccine now that you've told them they still need a mask even if vaccinated.
You are honestly saying teacher's unions are dictating CDC policy? Good grief.World Health Organization does not recommend masks for children. A unvaccinated child is statistically safer than a 30 year old vaccinated person. The difference is WHO doesn't have teacher's unions writing their policy like the CDC does.

Covid, while serious, is only essentially problematic for people with comorbidities.That doesn't make any sense.

Except for the fact that people aren't getting the shot.
