You ain't wrong. 

Moving the first and ten marker, are we?

A WH source confirms:

CDC is expected to recommend today that ppl vaccinated for COVID *resume wearing masks* indoors under certain circumstances. Those circumstances include: If living with/in close contact w/ immunocompromised ppl or unvaccinated ppl such as kids under 12.

Because sCiEnCe!

So masks for everyone unless you are illegal crossing the border???  

just like ID for everything except picking the legislators and president. 

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky says "new data" shows "breakthrough cases" of vaccinated individuals can have as much virus to shed and spread as an unvaccinated person.

And? Why would vaccinated people care about people choosing to be unvaccinated? And kids are at almost 0 risk, less than the flu. They’re making shit up to be worried about at this point.

Well, Israeli data out yesterday now reports Phizer only 39% effective at preventing the delta variant.  It's only a matter of time before they reset the clock and start over with "0% vaccinated".

So, time and another mutation and looks like we'll need another shot.  I doubt much more than half of people would get the third shot.  And then we'll see how Big Brother chooses to respond to that.

Link? I haven’t seen anything under 80% protective. Not that my main point doesn’t remain. Fuck masks, and yes your choice to be unvaccinated is great, but you get what you get.

Still effective against preventing serious illness, but if that many vaccinated people could be spreading it you know what that means.....

We are well on our way to herd immunity the natural way

Political sCiEnCe!

No surprise in this article that white evangelicals are the clear and away demographic that refuse to get vaccinated.  Being that Alabama, where I live, is full of them, we are almost last in vaccine rates.  This demographic seems to pose a similar threat to our sanity as the woke idiots.  Jesus will save us!!!

Groupthink is always interesting.  You'd expect a more equal distribution of stupid people, but nope.

The other funny thing is how people kind of flipped on the vaccine after the election.  You'd think MAGA land would be lining up for EXTRA doses of the Trump vaccine.

Biden pissed in it once he entered office.  

The hard core Trumpers I interact with "don't trust the vaccine".  When it's pointed out that Trump was the president when it was created, they say "well, yeah, but he had been compromised by the powers that eventually attempted the coup and therefore lost control of it's development".  You cannot reason with this.  Another guy I spoke with Monday said, "The FDA hasn't even approved it".  But when it was pointed out that he doesn't trust the government, so how would this change things, he said, "Yeah, but it would at least make it more compelling."

I love living down here and I'm glad they didn't go democrat butt ass about Covid.  But the flip side of that is that sometimes you run up against the evangelical take on things and it can be frustrating.

All the COVID lockdowns reminds me of this line in the DoI.

I've been trying to figure that out myself. It's like some weird abstract art exhibit.

The definition of “substantial” transmission in an area, per the CDC, is 50 to 99.99 new cases in the last seven days per 100,000 persons. The definition of “high” transmission is equal to or more than 100 new cases in the last seven days per 100,000 persons. The CDC posted current rates for specific counties on its website.

So the old definition of low transmission is now considered "substantial"???  Got it.  And "high" is anything over .001% of the population.  These people are idiots.

Indeed they are.  We are light years away from it being about the virus; it is 100% political at this point. 

The People are completely disgusted with the bureaucrats/politicians/ruling elite.
