Also...so funny how vaccinated people are still afraid of unvaccinated people. Wasn't your injection supposed to make you immune? So the vaccine doesn't even work?
Of course, I understand what they are saying about how the vaccine basically just "helps your body fight covid once you get it".
But they admit that vaccinated people will still contract and spread the virus. Sooooo...that means that vaccinated people are facing no more of a threat from unvaxxed people than vaxxed people. They can still contract it from both groups.
There is no legitimate reason for different rules for vaxxed vs unvaxxed.
Oh, stop. The worry is not the vaxxed- unvaxxed interaction. The worry would remain the unvaxxed putting the unvaxxed at risk. So they are SUGGESTING that the unvaxxed should continue to mitigate risk as they have been doing (one would hope) by masking, social distancing and washing their hands because they are still at risk when around other unvaxxed people.
People bemoan the lack of common sense and "science" with every ****ing decision, and then a decision comes down that finally makes some ****ing sense and they still piss and moan.
I've been wanting to say this for the last hour.
I'm gun-shy about using the word 'science' around here since it would elicit predictable and not altogether unwarranted pushback given uneven government and MSM messaging over the last year but like my science teacher wife's shirt says "Science is true whether or not you believe in it!"
Fauci/the CDC are damned if they do and damned if they don't at this point.
Fauci and the CDC have been playing a political game all along.
So, yes, they get a sarcastic slow clap from me for finally getting something 'sort of right' after they had even lost CNN from their side (see my previous post with the Gupta video on CNN questioning just what the CDC was doing).
The tide had changed against the CDC/Fauci, so they quickly pivoted to what SHOULD have been the guidance all along (or much closer to it).
Yep. Fauci is just damned in my book at this point. The CDC has lost credibility as well.
