Why are Americans still masking & why are there still COVID restrictions in place?

The answer: we don't have herd immunity

As a result, for those who won't get the vaccine, if they carry and transmit their version of Covid-19, it could still be dangerous even to someone who is vaccinated.

Couple this with a herd of unvaccinated children who could be dangerous vectors, and science would defend the precautions being in place until true herd immunity is in place.

Americans seem way to preoccupied with seeing faces.

When there is a high percentage of the total population vaccinated, whereas there is little risk to even those whom are unvaccinated, then restrictions can go away in parts.

We'll never have herd immunity. Covid is here to stay. Take your mask off and deal with it.

Is there any evidence that the vaccines don’t work against different “versions” of COVID in any significant numbers? I keep hearing that the vaccines work again it’s variants which is why the fatality rate for fully vaccinated people is incredibly low.

You don't get the right to speak to me at that level, with that tone with that language.

If I ever get Covid because of people like you, it's all on you now, Junior.

Only about 50% of Americans are vaccinated. A lot of them don't bother to get a second shot.

Now that everybody can get the vaccination, this number might go up to 65 or 70%.

The rest thinks that this will blow over, just like Trump said.

Because of that, we have to wear masks for the next 2 years at least.

Truly representative data is not yet available for the results over an extended time or split across AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson & Johnson. Because of this. we still need precautions

As long as you get the vaccine, even if that guy does give you COVID, there’s a 99.99% chance you will be totally fine.

Most likely.

But he won't.

Because Sleepy Joe keeps a constant stream of unvaxx'd, un-Covid-tested illegals flowing across the southern border and then all across the country.

4 people died in the Benghazi attack. And people made a HUGE deal of that. Investigation after investigation.

Once we get the covid deaths under 4 people per week, we can loosen up.

At most we can maybe give a couple more months for everybody to get vax. after that, everybody has had opportunity and they have played their hand. NO MASKS. NO RESTRICTIONS. NO CONTACT TRACING. you get symptoms, then you can get tested. otherwise, life goes on as normal.

why should we protect people who refuse to get the vax?

move on. stop blaming Trump who is PRO VAX!

Congratulations.

I have decided after this thread, your screen name, the racism and the inherent misinformation about Covid, that I will be reported Letsrun.com to the Better Business Bureau of the city in which they are located

Whether or not they are registered, they take in advertising dollars, so as a conscientious objector to a lot of the content here, I will be involving the establishment, at this time.

Good luck.

So if you get vaccined and wear a mask and follow all the rules and still get the damn thing you will blame those who did not fall for the nonsense?

Correction: Reporting, not reported. And it's going to happen.

Didn't the actual last pandemic, the Spanish flu, just blow over? Lasted just 12 months.

I plead the fifth.

Let's run can deal with the BBB

He jumped on that bandwagon too late.

I believe it lasted a bit more than 12 months. Perhaps 18-24 months.
