" Jessica Malaty Rivera, a research fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital, told me that she wouldn’t feel safe spending time with an unvaccinated person indoors; if she saw them at all, the meetup would be outside and with masks."
Really? Outside WITH masks? I don't want to hear about "following the science" when this chick clearly isn't, and instead lets fear and hysteria rule her thought process. Fortunately where I live, most people have gone on normally with their lives, without useless masks, and are ignoring idiots like Rivera.
NO masks...far from "Useless"...but our main "Weapon" for fighting back is vaccination...keeps people out of ICUs and Morgues.

one?...
btw, I replied to you after reading one of the studies that found equal immunity from COVID infection and vaccination...any comments?

vaccines...we would not be having this discussion if COVID-19 caused only a runny nose...we wouldn't need a vaccine for that. As should be painfully obvious by now, 5.7 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19. So long as the vast majority of ICU cases (typically on the order of 98%) and deaths are occurring among the 'un-vaccinated', the vaccines are doing their most important job.
When the vaccines were first introduced vs. the original "Wild Type" version of COVID-19, they were extremely effective at reducing transmission (on the order of 95%), however, as viral pathogens are want to do, it mutated to more transmissible variants (e.g. Delta and now Omicron) which has caused the vaccines to be less effective against transmission...but not 'zero'...and thankfully, not less effective thus far in keeping people out of ICUs and mortuaries.
The Lancet report is a valuable addition to our understanding of what's happening with COVID-19...and an excellent warning to all those who are currently un-vaccinated...the virus hasn't lost it's "punch", and now there are many more potential "assailants" they need to worry about.
GET VACCINATED!
Haven't you realized yet that "follow the science" means trust the science that only furthers your agenda? This study will be ignored like the others.
the study will be used to keep masks on our kids and to push the boosters.
We are on an endless 6 month booster cycle to catch up to each new variant. Someone has to say stop.
shots or is it initial plus boosters. I cannot seem to get an answer. If it's plus the boosters, the vaccination card will look like a receipt from Walgreens. But we are told to "follow the science". Whatever the hell that means.
I suppose you are correct. This doesn't stop until there's enough public pushback. Unfortunately, half of the country is convinced this disease is the beginning of world war z.
