Absolutely, if you believe the reported numbers don’t lie. It’s the unvaccinated getting it far worse and being hospitalized.Originally Posted by kewlJ
Thanks Boz. I think you are right about the vaccine doing nothing to reduce the spread. Probably worse that that, probably 'hindering' reducing the spread because so many get infected, have no symptoms, so don't even know and go about their lives, infecting others.Originally Posted by The Boz
The only thing I would add to your statement is the vaccine doesn't just reduce symptoms, as I am currently experiencing and benefitting from, but almost all data indicates it reduces the chance of severe illness, hospitalization and death. And that is really the name of the game isn't it?
As for the vaccinated still spreading it, there is nothing you can do other than locking down 100% and no one is in favor of that. Ok maybe a few crazies still out there. That’s why I believe we all had it or will get it. No way I haven’t been in contact with someone who has had it but with no symptoms how would I know, or should I even care? As I’ve said multiple times I never changed my life, nor will I. I flew 70k miles last year, just hit 80k this year and a plane is the only place I wear a mask. I’ve been to 2 NFL games in 2 cities the first weeks of the city with 70,000+ others with few masks. I go to bars, restaurants, stores, parks etc on a daily basis here in Florida and in mask free states around the country. I’m sure I’ve been in contact with someone who has it. Making my first trip back to Nevada soon since they put the mask mandate back in. I’ll have to see how far I can push carrying a drink in the casinos but I know I’ll probably have to wear one sometime. My local bar in NV was fine under the last mandate if you had a beer playing VP without a mask so I’m assuming it’s the same.
But at what point does one stop living their life? If one stopped doing things they enjoy they lost 18 months of their they will never get back.
