My recollection is you are 10 times or so less likely to contract the virus once you have been vaccinated, and for the few who do get the disease they shed say only 10% of the virus that they would have otherwise. So there is going to be maybe 1% of the virus floating around than before, but leaping from there to “a severely immunocompromised person is *never* going to get sick” isn’t a leap many will take, and there are so many variables that it is going to be hard to say anything more than “for whatever reason, only x% of the immunocompromised population got sick last week” Hopefully more knowledgeable people will correct me....

    I am curious to see what my hospital/org is going to do. I am wearing mine under the chin mostly.

    Also curious what's gonna happen when early vaccine recipients such as myself are going to get covid due to vaccine losing its efficacy over time.

    Independent of the above, one of local restaurants started to require vaccination proof for their indoor dining room. Obviously, they are now on my NFE list.
    Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.

    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

    My guess is that the CDC wanted in on the kickback China pays Fauci for every mask that gets sold and Fauci don't play that.

    I sort of assume folks will need a booster next year.

    The real trick is if early vaccine recipients (I'm in that group too) will be protected long enough to get to the "event horizon" where COVID is no longer prevalent in high enough frequency to be a major risk.

    Sure there will be occasional breakouts. But a global-scale phenomena should be moving towards "past" as opposed to "future". But to get there we have to wait out the countries with extremely poor medical infrastructure and large populations (looking at you India and Indonesia). Our immunizations need to last long enough for it to burn out in those areas, so boosters may be necessary.

    As long as the Vax keeps me from getting a severe Covid reaction, I’m happy.

    Same. It's a bit of a kabuki theater here.

    I'm rotating at the childrens hospital now and we have to wear face shields into every patient room. Naturally the one I got is not perfectly transparent, sort of like looking through the bottom of a tupperware container. Would be love to be rid of that.

    I think they wanted a convenient method to distract from the oil fiasco and the rest of the first 100 day disasters.

    Give 'em some bread...and maybe a circus or two.
