people to get vaccinated and mutual distrust, the best way to overcome the problem is with honesty and transparency. These numbers are suspicious of more "The rules are for thee, but not me"...ie..the Dem lawmakers are criticizing others for not getting vaccinated when the math would suggest that some of them are actually not getting it either. Offering their records to the public would help greatly with the cause, and remove all doubt. in fact, the only reason that I can think of that the Dem lawmakers WOULDN'T release their COVID vaccine record is if they didn't get it.
3) The delta variant has been studied and it appears that both of the two shot vaccines have excellent and near equivalent efficacy. The J&J vaccine is less efficacious but still moderately protective....this is another reason to release their personal vaccination records.
4) The two shot vaccinated people do NOT need to wear masks in the future unless liberals want to take their freedom away.
To review:
Each of the 3 FDA approved vaccines were tested on about 110,000 people in 3 different countries - Moderna - US, Pfizer - Israel, and J&J - South Africa where several of the variants were very prevalent
The vaccines are 95% efficaious which means that 5% will still end up getting COVID down the road, but the effects are markedly mitigated. In most cases, the infection will be asymptomatic and less will have mild symptoms only, with a few rare cases like PB's friend requiring hospitalization.
But out of the 330,000 people who underwent the trial around the world, there were ZERO deaths.
To promote shutdown after vaccination, we may as well also shut down all car travel, plane travel, boat travel, and all events that might give regular flu exposure since all of those would pose a higher mathematical risk of death.
Our vaccine numbers now along with the herd immunity do NOT merit another shutdown or masks for all. The masks are a political football now - a signal of liberalism....and a placebo to the vaccinated.
If you want to improve vaccinations, start telling the truth, release the vax info on these idiots, and start living by the rules that everyone else has to live by (If you are Michigan's governor, don't sneak yourself and staff off to Florida while shutting everyone else down, and if your Dem lawmaker expecting other people to wear masks on a plane, do it yourself). Start admitting that BLM protests spread COVID the same as Trump Rallies or Cuban Freedom Rallies.
And oh yeah, show enough trust in the vaccine efficacy to take off your mask...otherwise, why would anyone else trust you to get the vaccine?
