  1. I do follow science and guidelines, but considering a majority of the country is NOT vaccinated, this new messaging IMO is dangerous, and can bite the CDC in its ass, when people that arent vaccinated will be throwing off their masks. There certainly WILL be situations in which I will continue to wear a mask until the majority of the country IS vaccinated.

     

    LOL. Read the article in The Atlantic, you're displaying all those behaviors. You do know the CDC is FULLY aware of your concern and have been ultra-cautious in their advice.

  2. Yankee shortstop Gleyber Torres once had COVID, then was vaccinated, and today he tested positive for COVID again. This is quite troubling. I am beginning to doubt the efficacy of the vaccines, or at least the J&J vaccine.

    It's hard to believe that other Yankee players won't join him.

    By all means. Reject math and science. You would have done well in the Trump administration.

  3. For someone who advocates for science, you can't ignore the CDC. The point is that everyone has to understand this risk or any risk before they decide to do anything. You want people to follow the science as do I. I have trips planned and understand the risk associated and I choose to accept them. But you can't tell people there is no risk.

     

    I didn't say there was no risk. I replied to someone saying, "the vaccine protects you from dying from the virus or having severe symptoms, not really from catching the virus and getting covid."

     

    Bolding mine.

     

    That statement is false. It's fear mongering. It's so wrong it needs to be pointed out every time it's said. Statements like that will keep people from getting vaccinated and hurt people who are.

     

    You can cling to the worst case of everything, and that's not healthy and leads to far worse decision making for a society.

    Is a 90-95% reduction in your chance of getting Covid, "not really" protecting you?

     

    The numbers of breakthrough cases indicate the protection is even better than the clinical trials, but sure, let's all wring our hands and pearl clutch over the incredibly rare, but possible.

  4. GREAT protection doesn't mean 100% protection. Check the CDC website for the science.

     

    From the CDC website: (bolding added)

    COVID-19 vaccines will help protect you from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19

    • Large-scale clinical trials found that COVID-19 vaccination prevented most people from getting COVID-19.
    • All COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19.
    • It typically takes about two weeks for the body to build protection after vaccination. That means it is possible you could still get COVID-19 soon after vaccination. This is because your body has not had enough time to build full protection.
    • Some people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will still get sick because the vaccines are not 100% effective. When this happens, vaccination might help keep you from getting seriously ill, based on data from clinical studies.

     

    Right, so stay inside, never leave your house. Stop posting that you are not traveling because .002% of vaccinated people can get mild covid. Do you not understand the math here?

     

    Go run the numbers on all the other ways you can die and communicable diseases. You really should never leave the house if your fear of Covid is so great that post vaccination you're freaked out by travel. Because there are many more things lurking in the dark shadows of neurotic paranoia you should be worried about as well.

  5. As I understand, the vaccine protects you from dying from the virus or having severe symptoms, not really from catching the virus and getting covid.

     

    That's entirely false. It gives GREAT protection from both catching the virus and spreading. In the extremely rare case that someone gets it, you also don't get as sick and in the trials and in Israel basically 100% don't end up in the hospital.

     

    "NOT REALLY from catching the virus" is TOTALLY WRONG ... time to stop spreading anti-science fear mongering nonsense.
