Come on, your smarter then that. Sometimes, especially the last few years, you have to read between the lines. It’s not what they say, it’s what they don’t say. He started that one dose talk right when people in our leadership was bringing it up. Here’s one of many articles that Desantis was referencing. From Orlando weekly.
Ignoring the soaring Florida case rate or the high positivity rate? No, Florida is not headed in the right direction not OK by any means.
I'm joining you in that club on Tuesday. Other than a little bit of soreness at the injection site, the first shot was a whole lot of nothing.
I wonder your reasoning. I had a discussion with my doctor about vaccines the other day because they've changed the guidance for pregnant women from don't take the vaccine to take it if you want it but we don't have data to show you. She specifically told me she would advise her patients to take the J&J vaccine, but not the Pfzier or Moderna vaccine because the because they are mrna, whereas J&J is being developed more similarly to the flu vaccine.
The response to Touchdown’s post said “You could still kill people.”
The percent positive in FL has been much higher overall than NJ. We all know that high percent positive means likely community spread that’s unknown. There is no evidence to indicate there are more cases that were missed in NJ over the last 9+ months. Yes, in Mar/Apr that was true but the last 8 months flipped the other way. The fatality rate has been talked about over and over and over. If you look from May 1 to current day the deaths per capita are higher in FL. NJ got slammed early before anyone was prepared and got hit hard, especially nursing homes. Luckily for FL their first wave was delayed. We all forget that the FL Governor was refusing to lock down early on in FL (remember Spring Break 2020) and blamed all the state’s cases on people from NY. If FL had been hit hard early there is no reason to assume his reaction would have been any different with a lack of readiness. Dumb luck helped there, not a good plan.
It’s technically correct isn’t it?
Folks gotta relax, as CNN says, Joeys got thisCNN is reporting that the Biden administration will release every available dose of the coronavirus vaccine when he takes office, instead of holding back half of US vaccine production to ensure second doses are available.
"The President-elect believes we must accelerate distribution of the vaccine while continuing to ensure the Americans who need it most get it as soon as possible. He supports releasing available doses immediately, and believes the government should stop holding back vaccine supply so we can get more shots in Americans' arms now," said TJ Ducklo, a spokesman for Biden's transition. "He will share additional details next week on how his Administration will begin releasing available doses when he assumes office on January 20th."
Exclusive: Biden will release nearly all available vaccine doses in break from Trump administration policy of holding back stock for second dose

Yes it is.
I did. Recently traveled and went above and beyond; but I also acknowledge that my situation is very unique and not everyone has the ability or desire to do it the way I did.
Not my recent experience. Many here still do not wear masks in some areas, and indoor dining is unlimited capacity. I felt much safer where I was this past week then in Florida; there, they all wore masks, restaurants were voluntarily limiting who could come in for even to go ordering (which is what I did), and those who did not comply with precautions were immediately called out.

I don't believe that type of rhetoric is justified, especially directed against a poster who said they were going to get vaccinated and follow all mandates, public and private. In my opinion, it's the kind of sensationalism that degrades the discussion. YMMV.
It’s not even that the goal posts move. If this kind of talk is overly pervasive, enough of the masses won’t even bother trying to get vaccinated because in their eyes (maybe rightfully so), there would be no point. No return to youth or pro sports (in person anyway). No meaningful bar scene. No movies or theaters. Without a real goal to move toward because it’s not good enough, people won’t go through the effort.
