Good news. We need more of that everywhere. Make it so easy that it’s hard to say no. My local school district secured enough Pfizer doses for all high school kids 16+ and they are doing a clinic Friday at the high school during the school day. Kids pick an appointment time and leave class and walk down to the gym, get their shot and go back to class 20 mins later. The second doses will be scheduled 3 weeks later and run the same way. They also said once the 12-15 approval comes through they plan to run an additional clinic assuming they can get the doses. I think this is the quickest and easiest way to get a large number of kids 12-17 done efficiently.
She wasn't near anyone, I"m assuming she's vaccinated - she didn't need the mask.
Then masks and social distancing may finally be gone by July or August/September if the COVID-19 threat would be gone?
It could be because she's 94 years old. From what I've read, the few breakthrough cases that have occurred tended to be in very elderly people and the immunocompromised because they are not able to create a sufficient immune response to the vaccine.
Because it’s the RECOMMENDATIONS/RULES and although she could probably have changed them, she chose not to. She stands shoulder to shoulder with all people in the U.K. who have had funerals, weddings etc. under these strange circumstances. And that is most definitely the point service, loyalty and setting an example.
Go lick a handrail in PPF and test it out4 days after second Pfizer shot hear and nothing. Both shots, didn’t even feel like the nurse gave it to me. No soreness, not tired.. just hoping she did now. I think I’m vaccinated.
I completely agree with setting an example for others who have to follow the rules. But I hope the rules will be quickly changed in response to changed circumstances. I'm fine with wearing a mask if it's actually doing something to stop the spread of the virus. I'm not fine with wearing one to be polite, signal that I care about others, stop others from worrying, etc. When it gets to the point that most people are vaccinated or have the ability to be vaccinated, those reasons will no longer be good enough. At that point (and I'm not saying right now) either mitigations should be dropped or a system should be instituted to exempt vaccinated people from those mitigations.
If I had to guess, thats going to be the next thing to go down here in Florida.
I think in this case being a figurehead of the country, it was an act of solidarity and support. Not all are vaccinated and this is a good role model to be. JMO. Of course I don't know UK restrictions either. Might be more severe there than here.
Which could help in the end. Doc sends a message saying "go here for shot" and it will be easier to get some in that way.
and it looks like it is starting to outpace the demand.
Agree with the bolded. All of the anti-passport rhetoric is easily interpreted as anti-vaccine rhetoric. Even as my governor was issuing a press release of him getting his first dose, he was promoting the same drivel as other states. Disappointing, really.
