Dr. Scott Gottlieb: "Vaccination doesn't mean people can return to pre-Covid life" ??

If you want reasonable, thoughtful analysis on the Covid-denier narrative that gets dragged up from the remote corners of the world and posted here, this is the guy to read and listen to. Precious Roy.

Thank you once again.

Oddly, all the experts and enforcers have been caught repeatedly living the pre Covid life.

Seems pretty clear they don't believe their own BS.

And none of them have had their businesses locked down and their health care coverage taken away.

Don't quibble about the small stuff in the face of a global pandemic that is approaching a death rate of almost 2 million people.

When you have 300,000 cases identified in one day and 4,000 deaths a day reported weekdays now for a virus transmitted primarily in the air, you need masks, physical separation, and limits on indoor activities. That is just common sense. When you have herd immunity, the masks and distancing can pretty much end, but remember that probably 80 million people will still be vulnerable from having not been vaccinated, and so there can still be carnage once the masks are down. That's still a very big reservoir of potential victims. After all, we've only had 20+ million documented cases now with 375,000 dead.

Lol I imagine you three in dark robes with hoods pulled over your heads so your faces are barely visible. Standing over a boiling cauldron plotting how to keep control over humanity.

Sad to see that that is how you view people looking through the scientific research.

Lol sad that your cult so serious. You gotta laugh once awhile. You got a cucumber up your rectum? Loosen up!

So living the pre Covid life is small stuff. Goes against your rhetoric but good to know. I’ve been living the same the whole time. Did the mask once though. Just once.

No the small stuff is worrying about how they live their lives. What is important is that following their recommendations will get us opened up sooner and with less infections and mortalities.

How would that lead to having one's health care coverage taken away, btw?

But if they aren’t taking it seriously why should we?

Why are you worrying about how anyone lives their life? Sounds like the elementary school bully picking on the weak and vulnerable. Pretty pathetic Skippy.

Once everyone who wants a vaccine has one or it's proven that those who are vaccinated can't spread the disease, I'll go back to living normally regardless of the vaccine's efficacy. If the current vaccines are ineffective, we'll have to treat COVID like polio where it messes a lot of people up until someone figures out a permanent solution.

Which isn't to say I doubt the current vaccines' efficacy, which is supported by extensive research and testing.

Where do you get the 80 million number?
