@blondie214 If you don't get vaccinated, you are a walking incubator, allowing the virus to replicate, and possibly giving rise to mutants that can evade vaccine immunity, like the P1 from Brazil. Your selfishness puts everyone, even those who got vaccinated, at risk. Man up, and get the vaccine.

It was like watching a scholar arguing with a poo flinging ape. Fauci is the scholar.

Federal Reserve WOLF TheFedWolf First, many of those 97%, you claim are just fine, actually have long term debilitating effects, from the virus. Second, by allowing the virus to replicate, unchecked, we have already given rise to more dangerous variants, that can infect, and kill, young fit individuals. Do you want even more dangerous and infectious variants to arise?

@peteyn.y.7960 Nah, sheep are smarter than you.

@mr.romero4799 Wrong, Israel is allowing people in. They made sure the Arabs, who come in every day to work, from PA administered areas, were also vaccinated. And they have opened their skies again, but only to fully vaccinated tourists. Just like the US, Israel has borders, some protected, some not, and coastline where naval traffic can enter. The only difference was a massive drive to vaccinate the population, as soon as vaccines were available. They contracted to buy more than enough doses, at premium rates. The EU did not do as well, as they were looking for bargain prices. First, Israel started with hospital staff, and those in old age homes. Then the kupat cholim vaccinated everyone over 60, Jew and Arab alike. Then they dropped the age to over 50, and continued like that, until everyone over 16 could get vaccinated. They vaccinated guest workers, and illegal aliens, and anyone coming into the country. They offered bribes of cholent, and other delicacies, to vaccine hesitant individuals. It was not because of borders, but because of intense efforts, that they were the first country, in the world, to have more than half of their population vaccinated. And, today, the mask requirements, in outdoor areas were dropped, because of their success.

Because, despite other stupidities, you did a pretty good job of vaccination, starting with the most at risk.

@idahonative373 First, even the mRNA vaccines are 95%, not 100% effective. That means 1 in 20, who are fully vaccinated, can still allow the virus to replicate. Unless we want to run antibody tests, on all vaccinated individuals, we don't know who can still transmit the virus. So, even those fully vaccinated should continue wearing a mask, until we reach herd immunity. Second, I'm sure, if we were told only those who are fully vaccinated can go around with out a mask, there would be unvaccinated jerks, who would take advantage of that. We could either have vaccine police, out on the streets, stopping everyone to see their vaccine papers, to catch such scofflaws, or just all continue to wear masks, regardless of vaccine status.

Israel was having a problem, with vaccine hesitancy amongst the Haredi population. They instituted a green passport program, where if you wanted to enter certain crowded spaces, like theaters, malls, gyms, synagogues, etc., you had to show your vaccine passport. They also started giving away free cholent, on Fridays, in Haredi neighborhoods, when you were vaccinated. And most of the vaccine hesitancy vanished.

@dsquared341 No, he did not make good points, he made stupid specious points. A job does a dead man no good. Countries, that have taken the approach dimwits like Joran espouse, and just continued on, without quarantine, have had the worst death rates, and have given rise to the most dangerous, infective variants. You want to see what the US would look like, if we'd done as Jordan wants, look at Brazil. And one does not have a Constitutional right to ignore simple public health measures, like vaccination requirements. The Supreme Court decided that in 1905. So, Jordan's raging about his Constitutional right, to have the freedom to infect others, was a display of ignorance.

@grottenolm8514 There are lots of immigrants to Israel, including many Africans, who illegally enter the country. Those illegal aliens were also vaccinated.

Because prayer worked so well in the middle ages. Monks and nuns, living in a group setting, monasteries, died at greater rates than did the rest of the population, when the plague passed through.

Take a biochemistry class. You clearly do not understand how mRNA works.

No clotting problems reported with the mRNA vaccines. I doubt his CVA was caused by the Moderna vaccine. Correlation does not prove causality. If he walked out in the street, and were hit by a car, would you wonder if the vaccine caused it? I bet you believe that rabbit's feet bring luck too.
1
No vaccine is 100% effective. Worse yet, the asshats, who refuse vaccination, allow the virus to replicate and mutate into strains that can evade vaccination protection.

@hannahdyson7129 No clotting problems with the mRNA vaccines. Can you not get one of those? I received the Pfizer vaccine, and the worst side effect I faced was fatigue, which has passed.

That would only work if we could send everyone who refuses a vaccine to a modern day leper colony. These jerks are allowing the virus to replicate unchecked. If you want a perfect laboratory for what happens, when the virus is allowed replicate and spread, unfettered, look no further than Brazil. The most dangerous variant, one that is more infectious, and can evade immunity from previous infection or vaccination, P1, has developed there.

@williamcrowley5506 No, the Supreme Court decided, in 1905, that a person does not have the right to refuse vaccination . The states have the right to mandate vaccination, and should do so.

The same happened to my older daughter. Vaccines are hard to come by, in the city of Portland, but readily available in less populated areas. She got an appointment in a rural area, but they made the announcement the day before her appointment, so she couldn't get it. She then scheduled an appointment, for 2 weeks later, at the city mass vaccination site. Is there somewhere near you that is giving one of the mRNA vaccines? Can you get an appointment?
1
Do you not listen? Unvaccinated people act like incubators, allowing the virus to replicate and spread, and giving rise to variants that the current vaccines can't prevent. Being a selfish twit, and refusing the vaccine, doesn't just affect you, it affects the community and the world at large.

Dick Cox Unless a vaccine is 100% effective, there is still a chance that a vaccinated person can allow the virus to replicate, and pass it on. The mRNA vaccines are about 95% effective. That means, 1 in 20 fully vaccinated people, can still transmit the virus. For the J&J, that is more like 3 in 10 people, can still pass the virus on. That is why, even the vaccinated, should continue wearing masks in public, until we reach herd immunity.
1
States should just mandate the vaccine, as used to be done to combat smallpox.

@markromine5103 Even the Indian variant is somewhat susceptible to vaccine induced immunity. Sadly, the P1 variant, out of Manaus, evades immunity from vaccination or prior infection. The Brazilian variant, or a similar variant that can arise from unvaccinated populations, is the real concern.
1
Close. The genetics of influenza and coronavirus are very different. Influenza's genome is broken into 6 or 7 subunits, which can reassort during coinfection. The antigenic changes, we see in influenza each year, are most likely due to reassortment than mutation. But, yes, as a single stranded RNA virus, coronavirus mutates easily, and we will all probably need a booster each year, to keep up with the more infectious strains that develop.

@Rashas63 Wow, how big was the needle they used?

@jonathanhall6426 You have the right to destroy your own health, but not that of others. Idiots, who refuse the vaccine, allow the virus to replicate, spread and mutate. They risk the health of others.
1
Reevaluating risks, as new data amasses, is not changing your mind, it is coming to a different conclusion. The real clowns are those come to a conclusion, then do not change that conclusion, regardless of what new facts are learned.
1
Keep it up. Remember, immunity from prior infection or vaccination is not 100%. Even if you were sick, and recovered, you still might be able to allow the virus to replicate and spread.
