You are a lotus eater. An energetic one at that. That means you are perpetually in a drugged up state. You are a pardoy of yourself.

Libs WILL. NOT. let it end until they are all voted out.
Uhhh, OP, you do realize vaccinated folks can contract the virus & still spread it but that wouldn't be a problem if everyone was vaccinated right? This actually supports everything we already know. Even the people doing their part might still get get the virus because of people who won't. Less of a chance, for sure, but it can still happen until everyone else wakes up & chooses community or rugged individualism.

The vaccine is now available to everyone. If you take personal responsibility and choose to get the free, widely available and highly effective vaccine your chances of ending up in the hospital due to Covid is .04%—very small
Also, are you saying that even as a vaccinated person I am a leper because I choose to participate in society (go to work, restaurants, bars, gather with friends, go to the gym, etc) because there is a possibility I may spread a communicable virus?

Yeah he's trolling you. His nonsensical responses are clues to that. It's also very telling that none of the 'serious' covid posters have responded to your original point, probably because it makes too much sense and there's not a lot of argument against it. So ignoring logic and continuing insanity is best.

Yes.

Who cares if you get Covid if your symptoms are minor or none at all? This is usually the case if you are vaccinated. The chance of you ending up in a hospital when vaccinated due to Covid is .04%
If you choose not to get vaccinated and then get seriously ill due to Covid that was your choice. The vaccine is widely & freely available to all who want it.
So no it’s not a choice between “community or rugged individualism”. Take some personal responsibility & individually choose to get the vaccine or not and then deal with the consequences.
The Harambe view is that Botswana needs to be 100% vaccinated before Ithica, NY can move on with life

Anyone who supports this crap but still believes it is "temporary" and the "pandemic" will "end" is simply getting duped. (Not insulting you, we were all duped until some point.) Time for everyone to decide to move on or accept that they're on Team Pandemic Forever.
The only people on team pandemic forever are those who think it’s ok for a large fraction of our population to remain unvaccinated and thus risk hospital capacity surges seasonally with every new variant.
Pandemic of the unvaccinated, as usual
Bro just move on to your climate change mandates and lockdowns.

I have an undergrad degree in engineering (had the grades to go to grad school, but chose not to as I already had a job in my desired career field), my wife is a DDS and is more skeptical of the current vaccines than I am. My brother is the most anti-vax individual I know and he has a PhD and two master's degrees in engineering. Your premise that only uneducated individuals can be skeptical of vaccines is incorrect. In fact, the demographic most likely to be vaccine hesitant is those with doctorates.

I’m actually legit curious if an attempt at climate change lockdowns are in the future. I do remember outlets like NPR praising the lowering of pollution in the height of Covid due to shutdowns and less traffic.
If you can shutdown society due to a virus with a less than 1% fatality rate I would think you could shutdown society if literally the entire planet and everything living on it was at stake.

I would be fine if the unvaccinated were not mostly and intellectual underclass (as evidenced by this board) whose healthcare i undoubtedly subsidize as they rush to the ER with COVID.
It’s simply a financial decision for me. I don’t want to be paying for morons healthcare because they won’t get the vaccine.
Of course it would be nice if Botswana was fully vaccinated as there is now zero debate that omicron emerged in a low-vax, high-transmission, and high prior-infected area. “Natural immunity” seems to be good at cultivating new variants and performing worse than the vaccines. Another epic antivaxxer misread of the science.
CorneII seems like the least impressive elite university.
I still consider them elite. Not as good as the rest of elite universities
No, they have practiced safety and that is a good thing. Vaccination kept campus open a long time. But COVID has changed. The vaccines don't work to stop breakthrough cases for omnicron, and not as well with Delta--but much better than no vaccination, so they had to call an audible. There's no power game being played here. They want to save lives and these measures do so.
Think of it this way. If omnicron, which spreads far quicker, merely doubles cases but has 1/2 the hospitalization rate, then there will be just as many hospitalizations. If it causes cases to quadruple and vaccination doesn't prevent it (but masks and quarantines do), then the hospitals will be swamped with twice the current cases, and cases in the northeast are already much higher from it being winter and delta being less preventable by the vaccine than alpha.
My cousin's son attends Cornell. This is the article my cousin shared:
He is getting tested to see if he can fly home on Sunday. To shut everything down in the middle of finals is a little crazy.
Every Ph.D. I know is fully vaccinated. COVID tore through the least cautious family of Ph.D.'s prior to the vaccine.
