The rare breakthrough cases [i]can [/i]be just as serious - but generally only for the elderly and a very small handful of other immunocompromised people. [/quote]

Yep. Even among old people and people with health conditions, the vaccine is very effective at reducing the chance of hospitalization or death from covid. It's just less effective among old people/people with health conditions than among younger people/people without health conditions. But that's not surprising, because old people/people with health conditions are more vulnerable to ANY health issue. Even if you're old/ill, your chances are still far better if you're vaccinated than if you're unvaccinated.[/quote]

Especially if you get your booster. [/quote]

There are no long term studies regarding this so you cannot say for sure how safe it is and vaccinated positive cases aren't that rare anymore.

CDC recommends masking indoors.  CDC recommends masking in schools.  Everyone screams to follow science.  Science recommends masking.[/quote]

Breakthrough infections are even more reason to get vaccinated and boosted. COVID isn't going away. That should be clear by now- even to you.[/quote]

It was never going to go away as most people don't take COVID seriously.  You can get boosted.  No way I am.  I did my part. I did my two and I'm done.  [/quote]

It doesn't matter to me whether you get more shots. Early on, vaccines were important tools to slow the spread. Now that a large portion of the population is vaccinated, the vaccines are mostly to protect the recipient.

So go right ahead and skip the boosters. But don't expect to anyone to feel sorry for you when you either get sick from COVID or when you refuse to re-enter society after everyone else moves on.[/quote]

I cannot renter as I cannot risk Covid from you.  I cannot take a booster as I reacted very poorly and had issues for months.  You are so focused on your wants you stopped even understanding it’s not as simple for others as it is for you.  Must be nice to have your health.  Must be nice for your kids to have both parents alive.  [/quote]

Well, delivery drivers for you I guess. It's endemic at this point. We're close to as good as it gets. Hopefully you're not holding back your kids from living their lives, though...[/quote]

We don't do delivery as its too expensive.  We aren't as close to good as it gets.  We'd be very close if selfish and entitled people like you would be more cautious.  You'd have a lot to learn from my kids.[/quote]

We're very close to being as good as it gets.

Reported case numbers will drop, as more people gain immunity through infection or vaccination/boosters. More significantly, we'll see less testing, as vaccinated individuals aren't going to bother with testing for cold-like symptoms. Similarly, schools will end survellience testing to a large degree soon after kids are vaccinated.  Hospitalizations will drop too, as people gain protective immunity or die trying.

But COVID will still be out there, mostly harmlessly infected people who already have protective immunity.  We're at that point now for people that choose to get vaccinated.

But COVID will be just as dangerous a year from now to antivaxxers and anyone that stayed in their basement to avoid infection.[/quote]

MCPS has barely done any testing.  MCPS has done no precautions.  People who don't test and stay home sick are irresponsible.

Ranting about antivaxxers is silly and a pathetic talking point as the majority of adults in MoCo are vaccinated. [b] So you need to come up with a better excuse of why our numbers look like they do when we are talking about MCPS and MoCo.[/b]

It is not mostly harmless.  Vaccinated people are getting sick and dying.

These vaccines don't necessarily stop covid.  They help reduce the spread but they don't stop covid.  They also lesson symptoms for most, not all.  But they don't fully stop it.  You are relying way to much on being vaccinated and you are harming our community.  It is not dangerous in MoCo because of those not vaccinated as those not vaccinated are kids who only recently became eligible or are under 5 and not eligible.  It is dangerous because of covid deniers like you who refuse to take any precautions, test or keep your kids home when they are sick as you are crappy entitled parents who never should have been parents in the first place.[/quote]

The numbers are great in MoCo and MCPS. If you don't think so, I'm not sure that you have a role in public society any more.[/quote]
