39 is acceptable.
41 is not.
43 people on the invitation list where 4 cannot attend is fine.
A party of 27 with 12 CoEds and 2 hippies crashing the fun is dandy as long as you exclude one of the hippies.
It's science.
"We're gonna take it down to 50 people." I knew I was being hit with science when I heard, "We're gonna take it down to 50 people." Doesn't that sound all sciency to you?
If you looked at a satellite photo of the United States, 80% of that real estate is occupied by people who tuned out Fauci and the alarmists long ago. The idea that there are people giving up their holiday gatherings, especially with those of advanced age who they may not see again, is so sad. They really do not believe in the vaccinations and boosters that they demand others receive.
Had plenty of politicians not listen to him and break their own rules. Hard to take anyone of them seriously when they don’t even follow their own made up rules. You can beat your ass that all of these Dem politicians will be attending large Christmas parties and not wearing masks.
….if you do this to family memebrs, where aren't you willing to do it? What about church services, businesses, restaurants, movie theaters, bars, etc? This is a prelude to a universal vax ID from this administration.
….and he does this while knowing that the vaccinated are also getting and spreading the infection (see NBA & NFL) themselves quite easily despite the protocols.
….and he knows that vaccinated people are at very, very low risk of serious disease and dying from the infection when he tells them to exclude their family ho don’t agree.
IF YOU ACCEPT DOING THIS TO YOUR FAMILY, YOU WILL ACCEPT DOING IT IN ALL OTHER SCENARIOS.
What a divisive message! Just the kind that will sway the hearts of the unvaccinated, right? No, it will permanently divide brother against brother and guarantee a lower vax rate than is possible. Stopping gatherings would be a horrible overreaction to a new variant that isn’t causing deaths like previous ones, but at least it would make sense - but that recommendation is political poison.
Fauci says this in a way that makes one wonder if he is being spiteful toward those who have insulted his High Sparrow ego. He has given up on swaying people - he is not the man for this job. He cannot make the sale (vaccination) and he is no longer interested in trying.

publicly undressed him on that. Gain of function is on Fauci's hands

At a time when family and friends should be together, their message is opposite. The COVID Pope set the rules and the Branch Covidians will fall in line. I can hear the shouts from the Ivory Towers now. It’s truly disgusting and now we the great unifier calling for a winter of death. We were promised a way out of this mess if he was elected. Instead, we have more deaths under his watch and now the people getting the shots coming down with COVID. What is this admin doing to solve the the problem?
Now imagine Trump delivering Biden’s message about death for Americans. There would be cries for his Impeachment (again) from the board professionals.
Coronavirus Response Team's briefing in which Dr. Fauci spoke on the subject of getting together in groups over the Holidays...(the entire briefing text is attached)
"Now, one of the questions that Dr. Walensky and I and Dr. Murthy and others get asked very frequently is that, right now, as we get to the Christmas holiday and the New Year’s, would it be safe for individuals who are vaccinated, who are boosted to get together with family in the setting of the home? The answer to that is: Yes. An extra level of protection would be the testing that Dr. Walensky mentioned.
But I want to make sure this is not confused with going to a large gathering — and there are many of these — parties that have 30, 40, 50 people in which you do not know the vaccination status of individuals. Those are the kind of functions — in the context of COVID and particularly in the context of Omicron — that you do not want to go to. "
What's important to understand is that if the group you're intending to join has people attending who can't be verified as to their vaccination status, you should not go there...regardless of the number. If you can be assured that each and every attendee has been fully vaccinated (that's 3 mRNA shots for Adults)..and preferably tested immediately before the event, then you can feel comfortable in going there.
