[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you vaccinated?  Do you comply with mask mandates?  Have you been reasonably careful all throughout the pandemic? I wouldn't attend your party because you aren't all vaccinated, and [b]we currently only socialize indoors with vaccinated people[/b], but your travel wouldn't bother me.  [/quote]

So, do you ask to see people's vaccination cards? Because we just found out that some neighborhood friends who said they and their kids were vaccinated in fact were NOT (they just got COVID, which is how it all came out). [/quote]

Its also a false sense of security, because vaccinated people also get covid. I went to a family reunion the last weekend of July, and 12 members of my family got covid. Almost all of them were vaccinated, including me and my husband. Ironically, several unvaccinated adults didn't get it. It wasn't a big confidence booster for prevention, that's for sure. Get the vaccine for yourself, stop worrying about other people. [/quote]

Did you test before the gathering, which I presume was indoors and unmasked? Did other members of the group? Did anyone wear masks? Did anyone have symptoms? All of these things matter in determining whether there is a "false sense of security."[/quote]

No testing, no masks. It was summer, covid was "over" pretty much in the minds of most at the time we had it. People came from all over - east coast, great lakes, south, pacific nw, california. It was mostly outdoors, but we obviously had some indoor time.

We don't know for sure who the index case was. If it was my unvaccinated cousin, who is our suspect, she wasn't very sick. My other cousin was the first person to test positive, and she was vaccinated and high fever etc. I don't want to give too many details, the vaccinated people who were positive were fine in the end but only really my husband had the typical "really mild" barely there symptoms. Three kids were positive, and it was super trivial in all of them. My unvaccinated uncle got really sick, but he's almost 70 years old.

I do believe in the vaccine, but this experience was enough for me to cement my opinion that vaccine mandates and people trying to control everyone around them being vaccinated, is just stupid based on how this virus works.
