Most people need to be forced to brush their teeth and wear a seatbelt too.
Why do you believe that Covid vaccines works? The same people that urge you to take one are already saying that you'll need another one because of the mutations.
Regarding the e-mails.. have you read them? If yes, why do you ask such question?
A vaccine is not a cure. Many of you do not seem to understand that it doesn’t prevent you from getting COVID, it simply increases the odds that you will avoid symptoms if you do. I’m vaccinated and will be masking up when around people indoors in public, indefinitely. There also are other strains on the way, and it is not known how long vaccinations stay effective.
what ? LOL sorry where is the tooth brushing police to force me to brush my teeth?
I did not say anything that would say that there's no difference. That's your interpretation of what I said.
Fine do whatever you want just don't force me to be scared forever like you
Well my mother and father do not force me to brush my teeth and I am pretty sure the majority of people are the same
The likelihood of dying from covid at all, even if not vaccinated, is extremely small.
No I did not say that, you said "NEED TO BE FORCED" that is present tense. How many adults do you know that are forced by their parents to brush their teeth?
So here's the perspective for my country. There's 10 millions of us. We are very small country in comparison with the US. That ammount of people I stated regarding the flu would be now considered dangerous "pandemic" in my country. Hell we even closed the country and brought up restrictions when we had hundreds of cases. This is insanity.
Again, you don't even take in account what I'm saying. The point of my post was that why there's so much death? Why don't we treat the people with Covid? If you call me ignorant I'd say, why are you blinded by your ignorance in the topic? You don't even question things. Is that because it's against the narrative?
You do know that even the Anthony Fauci believes face masks don't work? In his leaked emails he admitted they do nothing to stop viruses and is little more than security theatre.
This just sounds like a 'look at how virtuous and morally righteous I am'. Wear it all you want. But please don't pretend the masks they hand out and encourage you to use actually offer any real protection. I was in the military and received NBC training, even if you were wearing a mask that does offer protection against viruses like covid - which I strongly doubt you are, I'm willing to bet your operational procedures for it are letting you down elsewhere.
I'm sick of the holier than thou attitudes like this.
I think it should be on a person by person basis. If you want to wear a mask at work, then wear one. The majority aren't cowering in fear of this thing. I'm been fortunate enough to live in the South and it's like covid never happened compared to elsewhere. Let me and my family decide what's best.
Also we were 100% right in not trusting Fauci. It was his grants from the NIH that quite literally funded the creation of this virus and left wing media denied it came from a lab.... right up until they couldn't hide it any more.
Ah so you agree but just want to bicker. Well the point is we have a chance to make wearing normal. The goa should be people feel uncomfortable not wearing one just like not brushing or wearing a seatbelt feels wrong.
Direct quote from a Dr. Facui email back in Feb 2020:
"Although the CURRENT RISK of coronavirus to the American public is low, the fact that there is community spread of avirus in a number of countries besides China and including South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran among others poses a risk that we may progress to a global pandemic of COVID-19"
It turned out to be true. Rest of his emails maintains his stance.
We ask again, what particular aspect of the emails show that there is not a pandemic as said or characterized by Dr. Fauci? Please quote a particular email, otherwise I'm going to assume you got your news from Tucker Carlson which I believe is one of the least reliable sources of information.
The cloth masks are really not that great but the N95 masks work so i assume all these pro mask people will start wearing the N95s
97%+ of new COVID cases are among the unvaccinated. Of those that are vaccinated, only 0.03% are having breakthrough infections, most asymptomatic, with 1 death per 500,000 vaccinated, most likely over 80 years old.
American adults who aren't vaccinated aren't by choice, you can only warn people so many times until you just grab a lawn chair and bag of popcorn and sit back to enjoy the show.
Mask wearing will never be normal deal with it. I assume you wear the n95 mask all the time? those are the ones that really work
ok, i'm vaccinated. my wife is vaccinated. my kids are vaccinated (well they get their 2nd shots this week, so almost). BUT this statement was nuts to me.
the entire purpose of vaccination is not only to protect people from getting the virus (it does 90-95% of the time) but in the rare case you do get COVID-19 anyway it protects you from serious illness (almost 100%, like 99.9999%). there won't BE spread because the folks who are vaccinated can't be spread to. even the CDC says almost all evidence points to the fact nearly all people vaccinated can NOT harbor or spread the virus because it simply can't take hold in our bodies and replicate. there won't ever be full surges again because 70% of the population is vaccinated and combined with (slow) continued vaccination and the fact many already have natural immunity from illness this is ENDING. we can't scream "follow the science" and then spit in the face of the science when we don't like what it tells us.
