StarstruckIllusion 53,580 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Messaging like this is what’s gonna keep people away from getting a vaccine. If the inconvenience is so annoying and it won’t even work then what’s the point. It’s def not my POV, and its dumb, but talk like won’t help secure the 80%+ needed for heard immunity… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once most of your loved ones are vaccinated it will all feel more normal. Please keep the hope. This is almost over with vaccines rolling out to the world. I wouldnt throw fireworks just yet. With multiple variants popping up, varying levels of protection from vaccines against each abd the fact that vaccines only prevent severe illness but doesnt mean u cant catch or spread covid... It may be premature to say its almost over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be premature to say its almost over A study in Israel recently came out that showed the Pfizer vaccine also prevented asymptomatic cases and spread. Even if not, once most are vaccinated, and they still highly protect against variants, this will be over. COVID will be in the past soon if the world gets this right. All vaccines prevent severe illness and death. Which was always the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djparky 269 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Once the vaccines have been rolled out these scientists will disappear from the media, regardless of the global roll out. No one will cope with years of social distancing, most of these scientists have no comprehension of mental health If you to travel to a poorer country now you do so in the knowledge that there is a risk of of illness that wealthier countries no longer worry about.

These are crutial details Israel will be the first country in the world to reach herd immunity with Pfizer. Pfizer has performed well against variants as well. What we need is mass vaccination and strict international travel. This will be over if the logistics are worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were way ahead early in vaccinations and werent among the first hit with variants which is why i wondered whether or not a study there would necessairily reflect the impact on rest of the world Sometimes the devil is in the fineprint details not the headline result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEANUS 16,156 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Nah sorry Humankind survived this long (through multiple pandemics, mind you) without being cooped up inside, paranoid taking a step out the door, and covering half of our faces Once the vast majority is vaccinated and rates are extremely low, remove the mandates on masks and social distancing. People are welcome to choose to wear masks and distance themselves from physical contact as they wish British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an entire society tries to stop the spread of everything, then the few times someone still catches something stronger no one will be able to handle anything Its one thing to control a serious pandemic but making it a long term norm is a really bad idea imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a baby was confirmed recently to be born with COVID antibodies from the mother. (Just another interesting development). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
