They aren't a magical force field. They're a tool, one tool. A very good tool.

So they don't prevent you contracting or spreading the virus? I guess that was not the impression I had about the efficacy of the vaccine, Maybe we need masks forever?

No, the vaccine is supposed to prevent serious illness. Which is what it did, even dealing with much higher viral loads from Delta than the original COVID virus and Alpha.

I am SO glad that I am not in that WDW Management meeting - three days of PIZZA and coffee 
.
Their largest competitor went for voluntary guest masking. I can just HEAR the Lawyers & "Bottom Line Management" folks yelling at each other....
"We will get sued !"
"It's the 50th and we will get cancellations and loose money !"
So - a modest suggestion? "Proof of Vaccination" at all Park Entrances, Hotels, and Restaurants. Dump the mandatory masking.
There are entire CITIES, Sporting Events, Concert Venues, Cruise Lines, portions of the US GOVT, and multiple Restaurants, doing this. It's not new.

Doesn't answer the question. Will they cover ANY and ALL outcomes good OR bad?
Not allowed due to the state of Florida banning any kind of vaccine proof.I am SO glad that I am not in that WDW Management meeting - three days of PIZZA and coffee

I mean, ideally, no. The more vaccinated people they are, the harder it is for it to get a foothold, and most importantly, the fewer chances it has to mutate. Delta got in because unvaccinated people gave it a lot more opportunity to figure out how to pick our locks. I suspect we’re gonna need a third shot to supercharge our defenses, though - the studies from Pfizer already show a five-fold increase in protection from Delta after a third shot.

Well good outcomes won’t need to be covered. So that’s a yes. And I assume yes on bad outcomes since they are so rare they won’t be at all costly. I’m a confident they have addressed all of this with their legal department and know what they can and cannot do. Thankfully hundreds of millions of people are vaccinated and people aren’t dropping dead all over the sidewalks. Should be good

Do you have a link to any studies showing that? I was searching around but couldn't find anything official...

This makes me sad considering when masks were required at my local theme park I used to watch security guards literally chase people down to make them put it back on.

I wonder if they’ll be able to negotiate cheaper premiums as a company mandating vaccination. They probably will be able to, which is another plus for the company

Don't really need a study to show that, it's just how viruses work. Every time the virus replicates in your body there is a chance it will mutate. If a virus gets a mutation that makes it more infectious it will naturally have a better chance to spread thus increases the population of the more infectious strain. The more people who are infected and the longer this diseases last in their bodies, the more chance for mutation.

You're way more patient than I am
No taking the advice of another poster I picked up my mouse and keyboard.
I will be in the world in 34 days.
More than happy to wear my mask.
I will cancel again if they require masks outside or they get rid of fireworks.
Outside of that I’m looking forward to it.
Very happy with the move made by Disney today.
