This is bullshit semantics. I never knew you to be either a spin doctor or just dense, but I honestly don't recall much of anything you've posted on here which is unusual. I think you were the one who said opium poppy and coca should be legal to grow in the US because you chewed coca once while hiking so it's basically no big deal. If that was you, I definitely see a pattern forming.
Because a lot of people still are not vaccinated. And when outbreaks occur, the amount of virus around can get high enough that it raises the risk of infection and transmission for everyone. Including the vaccinated.
CDC moves Germany and Denmark to 'do not travel' list
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has moved Denmark and Germany to its highest-risk category for travel as Europe continues to grapple with rising numbers of infections and deaths, leading some countries to reintroduce lockdowns and other restrictions they not long ago considered...www.yahoo.com
Europe was supposed to be our example after all? Pretty sure this is further proof that vaccine mandates are purely political. As I have been saying for months and colfax_m didnt understand. You have to get the virus to truly be immune and vaccines do help you have lesser symptoms.
Leftists keep saying that we should be more like the Nordic countries. So should we also be cautious with the Moderna vaccine?
Nordic countries are restricting the use of Moderna's Covid vaccine. Here's why
Finland and Sweden are limiting the use of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine in young people over concerns around rare cardiovascular side effects.www.google.com
Leftists are dumb and so are vaccine mandates.
EDIT: per Blues Man this is a Warning not a Restriction. The basis stands. Why the warning when you have to be vaccinated to go into Europe where countries maintained strong vaccine requirements. Either vaccines work or they don’t.
What is “a lot”? Why do I care who is or isn’t vaccinated? 99.4% survival rate.
A good question. Apparently it is less than the number of unvaccinated in Germany:
A pretty shallow view. For one, depending on how many people get infected, that's a LOT of deaths happening quickly. Furthermore, just getting ill is also a risk. And if a lot of people get infected quickly, hospitals can be and have been overwhelmed. Third, travel warnings and restrictions are just a smart way to head off outbreaks.
Why would they worry about me? I had the virus and I am vaccinated. Obesity kills more we don’t stop people from eating bad food and drinking soda.A good question. Apparently it is less than the number of unvaccinated in Germany:

Germany once set an example for how to manage the coronavirus. Now, deep pockets of vaccine resistance are helping drive daily infections to new heights.www.nytimes.com

If you think anyone serious thinks vaccines are the cure all, think again. The vaccines will slow community transmission and keep people from getting seriously ill. Covid is going to run its course eventually.
Because of the high rate of community transmission there. Thus the warning. Though you have less worry, for sure. Nevertheless, the sheer amount of virus traveling around increases the risk. That's all. Thus the warning.
So we live in fear for ever? COVID19 is with us for life like the flu. Trump said we have to live with it. Biden said he would defeat it because he is a moron. We will never fully eradicate it. We need to learn to live with it. Period.
As more get vaccinated (or get the virus) that becomes less of a problem
Less of but not fully eliminated as I said. So we live in fear like cowards. That’s not me. But you do you.
Oh the brave little fat kid
Your chart is wrong, the vaccinated are dying at a higher rate than unvaccinated.
No. Push through the winter, cases fall off in spring, should be good. Variants happen, but the Delta variant is especially nasty. We should not expect more of the same as far as dangerous variants.
Adult with kids of my own. I am many things. Fat ain’t one of them, old leftist.
Based on what? I hope you’re right.
Based on the delta running its course, really. Without delta, we would be way better off right now. It came and kicked us in the nuts right after we reopened everything. Unfortunate.
Delta is really the India variant. But there could be others from highly populated 2nd world and or 3rd world nations. Winter spike happens in cold climate cities but during the summer the spikes happen in warm weather cities because it’s too hot to be outside so we are stuck in a perpetual loop of spikes. Therein lies the problem. Either we accept the risks or we don’t. Fear mongering isn’t working. While the Democrats are in power it is what we will have though. Just 11 more mos…
We are going to reopen at the next opportunity with democrats in power, just like we did at the beginning of summer of 2021. Will probably be the same for 2022. So you are wasting your emotional energy I think.
I hope you’re right but my kids have been wearing masks in school and during sports for two years now. Not so if you go 30 miles north to NH. People are noticing. Especially parents. And so you get what you saw in VA.
Parents throwing embarrassing fits, instead of children. yes I saw it. Kind of embarrassing, really.
No fits. Just noticing for when the next vote comes. Not sure where you got the fits from. We are civilized in Boston unlike places like San Fran, NYC and LA.
