I know you weren't saying last summer is the same as this summer but wanted to point out that it's a much different situation these days.Quote:

Don’t forget the ~19% of the population that can’t get vaxed (kids) or are immunosuppressed.Quote:

mix the vax in with the tattoo ink
I agree. The CDC is generally a well-respected scientific organization, but their duty is to contain this disease, not to be a clearing house for virus research.Quote:

Because of this, they got a lot of heat for deincentivizing vaccination. Then they changed their guidelines to permit the vaccinated to go maskless in nearly all situations. I think this was the right call, and probably what they should've gone with once the data for the mRNA vaccines was released, because of how awesome the vaccines are. They provide so much greater protection to the individual compared to masking and social distancing, and are the only way this pandemic ends at a public health level. Although, masking indoors still makes sense for those with comorbidities, even if vaccinated; although it's probably belt and suspenders.
Now more than ever before, "my mask is to protect you (unvaxed)" is the truth.
As time goes on, you can sympathize with Rand Paul's neighbor doing that body slam more and more.Quote:
