So far real world evidence has shown way higher protection than 90% for all of those.
Showing some great results vs. hospitalization and deaths.
The 'immunity' isn't a plastic bubble of protection.
Yeah I miss the craziness of home crowds and all that even on TV. Tailgating and such and the atmosphere is overall great and is a huge part of all of it.
I just didn't miss partaking is all.
I'd love it if there's full crowds this fall. It would mean some good things have happened or continued to happen.
"Nothing wrong with this..." Just who the **** do you think you are? You think he needs your approval? Or what if he wanted.to avoid crowds for a reason you consider "wrong"? Get over yourself, asshat.
It's a legit question. Those are typical things people do.
I get weird looks when I say I enjoy social distancing after they realize I'm not kidding.
The question is fine. But you sure as hell dont need him to tell you whether your reason is ok. i dont think you wanted that from him, did you?
I don't believe it is for me to tell you how you should take it.
When I read that question in context with his or her other posts in this thread I believe his or her intention is clear. Im not trying to convince you one way or the other.
My apologies for detracting from the thread topic.
No... you shouldn’t have, @madguy30.
I’m serious about what I said above in ALL my post. I think that it’s great that you said you don’t like crowds and like beings socially distant. It’s all about perspective and I’ll love to be able to see that side... I’m just not wired like that. As you said FOMO!
Breakthrough cases are at something like 0.008% for vaccinated people. I'm not smart enough to explain that. My wife is, but I'm not smart enough to interpret to engineer level intelligence.
Bottom line, you got your shot, you're in the clear.
It's been like 6,000 total (asymp and symp) cases confirmed out of (most recent) 87 million people vaccinated.
Granted some of it's seasonal but there's small studies regarding good news about lack of transmission/spread etc. that are very good signs.
The lights are still on. Clearly it can’t be sinking then.
Half the boat sinks first.
'Yeah but that didn't happen on this end. We're safe'.
*This isn't the political deal--there's actually a 'denial' mechanism that place in humans in this type of deal.
I'd love it if 100% of people were vaccinated but that's obviously not going to happen. A certain segment of the population has been brainwashed to think it contains microchips or its "dangerous" while they smoke a pack a day and do other dangerous activities.
I've come to the conclusion during this pandemic that it's not in my best interest to worry about other people's actions anymore because there are people out there who can't take simple measures to contribute to how a civil society works.
So my best course of action is to keep myself and my family as safe as possible.
Here's one thing I noticed with a certain political leaning segment on Facebook over the last year.
During the shutdown... " This is bs, we just need to open and we get herd immunity".
Me....."Herd immunity achieved through forced infections is a horrible idea for a disease with this high of a death rate and a country with the population as ours"
"Well, we need herd immunity, I read about it on some website".
Me....."They have a vaccine now, it's a way to achieve herd immunity without all the unnecessary deaths, just requires a couple shots"
"Vaccines? I'm not taking that!"

There's studies showing that transmission is cut in a big way due to cutting down the viral load even if contraction takes place.
And these vaccines were in the process for years, just needed the correct final parts/samples to be implemented which took place in January 2020 before testing/trials started.
The CDC has been awful in how they communicate this stuff. You need to provide direct rationale instead of 'It's safe!'.
When the full authorization comes through for Pfizer and Moderna, then new reasons not to take it will come up, no doubt.
Now excuse me while I pause to pry this spoon off of my face*.
*My favorite part of that clip: all the people in the crowd nodding their heads in full agreement. JFC.
