[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you do get Covid while vaccinated, it's highly unlikely you'll end up hospitalized or dead. As of 7/12, more than 159 million Americans are fully vaccinated. Out of that 159 million, 5,492 have been hospitalized or died with Covid. (Not all of those people were symptomatic, some just tested positive. But let's look at the worst case scenario.) That's about 35 people out of every 1 MILLION vaccinated ends up in the hospital or dies of Covid (and this is generous, as all those people reported to the CDC didn't die of Covid). https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html [/quote] More than acceptable risk. So we don't need mask mandates or lockdowns or restrictions again. Good.[/quote] You “prolifers” sure are cavalier with other people’s lives.[/quote] Excuse me? Other people's lives are under their control, not mine. I am vaccinated. I will not be wearing a mask or limiting activities anymore. The risk is exceedingly low.[/quote] You can still get the delta variant and pass it along to others that aren't vaccinated. What part of this do you not understand? [/quote] You realize I do understand that. I'm vaccinated. That's enough. I could pass it along with a mask. I could pass it along without a mask. The likelihood of passing it along MAY be slightly lower if I wear a mask, or they wear a mask.[/quote] Actually it's much lower and it's not that much of a burden. It's having empathy for your fellow citizen and recognizing that the choices you make affect them. I'm vaccinated too and wear a mask because my kids aren't. Jeez, we're in the middle of a global crisis and all you have to do is wear a mask (and indoors) and dial back mass gatherings. We're not rationing food or going to war and yet, you're too self absorbed to take a few simple steps to help mitigate this crisis.[/quote]
