ED causes ED
Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a face mask or stay 6 feet away from others in most settings, whether outdoors or indoors, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in updated public health guidance released Thursday.
âIf you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy.â
Calling Gov Cooper. Calling Gov. Cooper. Do you read me?
Come in Gov Cooper. Over.
Was about to post the same thing.
Note that the story does say that you should still wear them in crowded settings.
NPR: Fully Vaccinated People Can Stop Wearing Masks Indoors And Outdoors, CDC Says.
Basically the CDC just caught up with what ive been doing since I got fully vaccinated.
Only 2-3 months behind
Yeah, for the first 3 months we were told it was âfakeâ by someone in a high national office. Remember?
Just read where Bill Maher is fully vaccinated and tested positive. He is asymptomatic and feels fine. This is the type crap that makes folks wonder. They wonât admit to false positives. They rather say even if you are vaccinated you can carry it Yada Yada. Its all about creating a fear, not creating facts.
Who said the vaccine was 100% effective? It was advertised as making the 5% or so cases contracted after vaccination milder and less life threatening.
Like Maherâs case.
PEOPLE: 8 Yankees Players and Staff Test Positive for COVID-19 Despite Being Vaccinated Before Diagnosis.
Player Gleyber Torres tested positive for a second time months after battling COVID-19 in the offseason
âI think one of the things weâre seeing is that being vaccinated en masse like we are, weâre seeing the vaccinations also kind of blunt the effects of the virus,â Boone said in a press conference on Wednesday. âI feel like in a lot of ways, because weâre vaccinated, weâre kind of good and able to deal with this. So thereâs a little bit of a frustrating part there, in all the testing that weâre gonna do.â
The CDCâs announcement is trying to provide incentive for hesitant people to get vaccinated, IMO.
If it doesnât work, we are never going to reach herd immunity via vaccination, and will have to rely on the virus running through enough of the population to do so, which will mean more deaths, but even more concerning, more variants. This is the outcome we have been trying to avoid since day one.
As Boone said above, the vaccine is blunting the worst of the symptoms.
The Yankees received the J&J single shot vaccine, which is the least effective of the 3 being distributed in the USA.
Would be more surprised if this happened after getting the Pfizer vaccine.
A stupid statement that fuels fears of government just wanting to be in control.
I see what the CDC is trying to do but itâs not going to help I donât think. If you havenât been vaccinated by now I donât think youâre likely to get vaccinated. And if Iâm vaccinated why do I care if youâre vaccinated or not.
The masks are off and itâs going to be incredibly difficult to weed out non-vaccinated versus vaccinated.
Let people chose and just move on
Itâs extremely unlikely that the Yankees had 8 breakthrough cases. Bordering on impossible. It will be a good case study to see what actually happened.
I agree. Highly implausible. Maybe elevated antibodies or something similar but 8 cases doesnât compute.
Whatâs funny is the CDC canât even define âfully vaccinatedâ. The efficacy of the Moderna and Pfizer is 94-95%. The J&J is 65-70%. Yet a person is defined as being fully vaccinated with either of the 3 
It all seems to be a political charade at this point. Change the messaging weekly and hope to persuade an intended behavior and outcome.
Itâs not political. Itâs really frustrating to see that argument trotted out over and over again. Their only agenda is to get people vaccinated and beat the virus. Thatâs it.
I will be back to volunteering for the Speedway Childrenâs Charities at the Coca-Cola 600 in a couple of weeks. I drive a golf cart giving guests rides across the property. Being vaccinated, and outside, I am not worried about doing this, but I would love to know whether the population of fans is more or less vaccinated than Americans at large. It would be an interesting case study.
CDC waited too long on this message. When the vaccines were being rolled out the message needed to be get this and be in the clear. They are scrambling to try to drive up the vaccinations and I donât think it is really going to capture many more folks. The people that havenât got it at this point probably arenât terribly interested in getting the shot.
Dropping the mask requirements is the best way to drive up vaccinations though. We need some of the anti maskers and folks that think this is all fake to get sick and scare them enough to go get vaccinated. The best way into the anti vaxer community is having them get sick. Itâs morbid, but a certain amount of their deaths and such is required.
As a likely immune, doubly vaccinated person - open everything back up. Let the people that donât want it get sick and LFG.
The different shots though is weird J&J 65%-70% while the the 2 shots are over 90% but the first shot of the 2 shots gets ya to between 50-60, close to the single &J but yet the J&J is considered fully vaccinated but one shot of the 2 is not.
