Makes no sense at all ...


Apr 5, 2021, 1:12 PM

So the word is if you get vaccinated (I am now) there is a very low probability that you will be a carrier for the Wuhan Virus and certainly a very low almost nil chance you will catch it and they still want you to wear a mask and "social distance" ? Why ? To give moral encouragement to those who are not vaccinated ? I say, poppycock !

If people see people without masks and doing normal activities because they ARE vaccinated, it will ENCOURAGE people to get the vaccine. Makes no sense at all.

And now the song !

Why on earth would ANYBODY want masks to be permanent? If you say "child traffickers", then we can be done with this discussion.

I think it's just to be conservative


Apr 5, 2021, 1:30 PM

until the vast majority of people are vaccinated. "Better safe than sorry" kind of thing.

If they can nail down the thing about being vaccinated and not being a carrier, then that's a big deal and would probably be the end of mask mandates. Last I heard, they had encouraging data on that.

They think you might still be able to spread the virus even after being vaccinated. They are still studying it supposedly. Dr. Sanjay Gupta claims that we can. Everything is always changing, so who knows?

I've been vaxxed and I'm still (mostly) wearing a mask in C-stores and Grocery stores, etc because I know less than 50% of SC has been fully dosed so far. Not concerned about catching the China Flu myself, but don't want others worried I'll give it to them. Get that vaxxed percentage up to about 65 or so and I'll be done masking.

I completely agree w this take. Once everyone gets their vaccines, masks will disappear

You're a doctor, correct? What do you think about spreading after getting the vaccine?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Makes no sense at all ...


Apr 5, 2021, 1:56 PM

Everything I’ve read so far is that people aren’t catching or transmitting it after the vaccine. Even if you do, if everyone around you is vaccinated and nobody gets sick, the virus will run out of hosts. They are remarkably, like miraculously, effective at preventing illness/hospitalizations from it.

So if we can, I guess the masks are polite until the vast majority are vaccinated. Who knows?

Re: Makes no sense at all ...


Apr 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

When enough people get the vaccines you’ll see case positivity rate fall, it will fall out of the news and the forefront of everyone’s minds, then as a natural consequence people will loosen up w the mask wearing.

That’s going to be the problem. Pretty soon the supply demand issue will flip, and they’ll be looking for people to take it. That’s why disinformation about the vaccine is so harmful, because it is literally the only way we get out of this crap and get back to normal life.

Anyone in SC who has the slightest risk has been vaxed.


Apr 5, 2021, 2:03 PM [ in reply to Re: Makes no sense at all ... ]

If you haven't, it's because you don't really care to be.

So, I have no issues not wearing a mask. But I'll continue to wear one if a store wants me to just because I like to fly under the radar.

I still think it's dumb as heyull to wear a mask inside a restaurant to walk 10 feet to my table. And I think it's just about equally as dumb to wear one inside a grocery store where they already have partitions up at the cash registers.

But, I'll comply because it ain't a big deal.

From something I recently read, Israel has vaccinated about 80% of its population. A Pfizer vaccine study there showed 97% effectiveness in preventing symptomatic COVID and also 94% effectiveness in preventing asymptomatic COVID. That is truly remarkable.

Honestly, there is very little reason for a fully vaccinated person to wear a mask if these results are similar in the US which almost assuredly they are. I can't imagine a fully vaccinated person wanting others to wear a mask in their presence, nor can I imagine that those who choose not to wear a mask care whether others wear one.

If you as yet haven't been vaccinated, you should wear a mask until you are vaccinated. With the risk of spreading asymptomatic COVID so low among the vaccinated, it's time to stop asking that everyone wear the mask.

I'm still doing it for now, but in another 6 weeks if a mutant strain that the vaccine isn't effective against hasn't emerged, I'm not going to wear the mask any longer. By then, the truly at risk individuals will have had ample opportunity to get vaccinated.

Re: people die of respiratory viruses every year. About the same


Apr 5, 2021, 6:44 PM [ in reply to people die of respiratory viruses every year. About the same ]

Yeah, every year we see ICU's across the country filled with ventilatory dependent patients and tractor trailers being used as temporary morgues in some of our larger cities. It's really cool how countries across the world have gotten together to perpetuate this hoax. It was really cool when Trump and Melania faked getting COVID too. Boris Johnson did his part also to dupe the mindless citizens of the UK by faking his ICU stay.

People do die of respiratory viruses every year, but COVID while generally transmitted via the respiratory tract, is a systemic inflammatory process that can affect multiple organs through vasculitis and clotting. While the vast majority of people are able to handle COVID well, many don't and they are not all old or possess other conditions that predispose them to death or serious illness.

Believe what you will. I would suspect you've spent little to no time talking with health care workers about what they've seen even in SC. I have. My friends and family have been on the front lines. I'm not sure where you are coming up with your ideas, but you are in error to equate COVID to yearly respiratory viruses.

Additionally, I strongly suspect we have a bitter harvest ahead for many, who while they survived COVID, will ultimately have pulmonary fibrosis and/or cardiomyopathy leading to the need for many lung and heart transplants.

Apr 5, 2021, 4:26 PM [ in reply to yeah. nobody died from it.*** ]

I think China released it to hurt our economy and to kill Americans and nothing will change how I feel about that notion. Unless you can show me proof, which no one can, that it didn't, well.....I don't believe in coincidences, so it was their doing. The sham part for me is how the government has lied to us so many times and continues to do so. They have lied and flip flopped so many times, then screamed "just following science" that it has become a joke to most.

Flu gone. Cold season gone. But EVERYONE is dying from COVID. The numbers are a sham, we need to know exactly how many have died in long term care facilities. That is where people are dying by the droves, not at 50 years old in the street or bar. They continue to hide information, they continue to like, so that is why you have people like myself that are super skeptical.
