A little something for the anti vaxers in the crowd.

Here is your future:
A couple of news storys. (Not opinion puff pieces: Actual facts about your immediate future.)
The first is about how the Delta variant is currently cutting through the unvaccinated like a knife through butter. including children.
The second is about how Both business and governments are starting to organise to allow ONLY THE VACCINATED to return to their normal lives.
Just a little something to consider. Before you do hide in the woods or start living by home delivery.

Sounds a bit like a witch hunt to me...

@SW-User Not at all. No one is forcing anyone to be vaccinated. But your freedom to be unvaccinated means others are free not to have to be near you.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman hahahaha! I don't mind...you don't seem to be someone I'd be around anyway.

@SW-User Way to take it personally. This isnt about me, or you. Its about going to a store, or a movie, or getting on a plane, or getting your hair done.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Won't bother me. I don't need my hair done or go to a movie or fly the friendly skies.
I can get food and won't starve... this is a bit personal when you make it so with your comments.

@whowasthatmaskedman [b]THIS[/b]💯
@whowasthatmaskedman Don't you think that vaccinated family members or friends will be willing to shop for us.

@mondayschild2 I would hope they would. And will continue to do so. That what family and friends are for. Look I dont want to hold people down and have them vaccinated. It is still a somewhat free country. But a unvaccinated cohort of the population thinking they can cough into my popcorn, or sit next to me on a plane and breathe my air for hours is an infringement on my freedom as well.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman I get you but I am medically exempt.

@mondayschild2 OK. There are genuine cases. And that does mean there are going to be limits on what you can do, for the good of others. Spock was right. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.😷

How can you claim that, when you keep overlooking the fact that in late August, 2021, CDC Director Walensky admitted that:

“....Data that we’ve seen from our international colleagues, specifically and especially Israel, [b][c=BF0000]have demonstrated a worsening of infections among vaccinated people over time[/c][/b].And so we remain concerned about that. As we see in the context of Delta variant, some breakthroughs that are occurring, and [b][c=BF0000]decreased vaccine effectiveness that is occurring in the context of infection.[/c][/b] We are watching the experience of other countries carefully,and are [b][c=BF0000]concerned that we too will see what Israel is seeing, which is worsening infections over time[/c][/b].”

@LadyGrace I do not dispute any of this, and it is dealt with in context of a first generation vaccine not having longevity in the system and the much higher transmission of the recent Delta varient overcoming peoples relaxed attitudes to sanitation, distance and masks. In short, the Bug has got its second wind and people were not prepared again.😷
