We all buy cars with these safety features. Outside of seatbelts which have a physical component to them the rest are seamless to the driving experience.
The point I’m making is having everyone drive around in helmets and 5 point restraints is a big change to the driving experience. Having nobody drive more than 15 MPH would make cars 100% safe but would greatly impact the efficiency of driving. Taking a vaccine that’s perfectly safe and takes less than a minute to administer has zero impact on anyone’s day to day life. Last year before the vaccines the argument was stronger that staying at home, distancing, masking and avoiding seeing family and friends would help keep us safe but that was at a great cost to quality of life. The vaccines are free, easy and almost 100% safe.
I should have added “when vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixing” to my point. I have no problem with the theaters in NYC that are allowing no masks and no distancing but requiring vaccination.
70% of the total population fully vaccinated? That would require 82% of all eligible people to be vaccinated until kids under 12 are approved. We are unlikely to ever get to 82% so requiring 70% of total population to be fully vaccinated is committing to continue mitigations through the end of 2021 and that assumes people get their kids vaccinated at a high enough rate. Lots of people are buying into this “vaccines aren’t safe for kids” narrative. Without kids we cannot reach 70% of the total population vaccinated.
Ok. I’m fine with that. Considering we still have a global pandemic happening.
I don't remember how many she said died from the vaccine. I have gotten to the point that I don't care if she does one way or another. Sounds cruel but ....... Even if if was only 10 people it would not matter. I think now for the most part the population has decided on getting a shot or not.
If we hit 70% vaccinated tomorrow there would still be a worldwide pandemic happening. Likely for a few years still.
It shouldn't and IMO anyone who hears this and doesn't try to correct or repeats this with out admonishing the statement are part of why we suck at vaccination here. I'm honestly beyond disappointed in our numbers here. We shouldn't be this bad
And meanwhile, there are those of us who are vaccinated yet immunocompromised who have been given a 70% vax rate as the goal for when we can take off our masks indoors.
The problem with saying that 70% or 75% of the population is vaccinated, neglects to note that the population of vaccinated people is not evenly dispersed throughout the United States. Unfortunately regional clusters are common with high percentages of vaccinated people in one region while another region of low vaccinated people occur in an adjacent county.

Aren't an enlarged heart and especially with fluid around it indicative of long-term heart issues? I'm hoping one of our friends with medical knowledge can answer this.
Investigation after teen dies three days after second Covid shot — Daily Mail
Jacob Clynick, a 13-year-old from Michigan has died in his sleep three days after receiving his second Coronavirus vaccine, prompting an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control.
This story and another similar one involving a child in Russia popped up in my news feed just this morning. Parents read it, see their own perfectly healthy child and decide it’s not worth the risk. Hopefully most will talk it over with their pediatrician and get the full information but you can’t say these headlines aren’t scary.

He’s a male under 30.... that’s the group that has had the issues with Pfizer and Moderna.
It kinda does. If we set a goal above the level we can ever reach then by default the mitigations never end. That’s fine if people think that’s the way to go. I don’t agree.
How do we get over 70% of the total population vaccinated if all the males under 30 stop getting the vaccine?
Well males 18-30 can get J&J or they can choose to take the risk with Pfizer / Moderna vs. the risk of covid.
