    There's no way we shut down again. People are done with that and can't afford to not work. Besides this is mostly affecting unvaccinated people who have access to the vaccine but won't take it, and were most against shut downs and masks in the first place. So for the rest of us it's hard to justify altering our lives to save people who don't want to be saved. At most we will get a mask mandate and potentially reduced capacity on indoor activities.

    When your car breaks down, you take it to a mechanic. When your toilet won't flush, you call a plumber. I don't think many people ask random dude on Facebook if what their plumber said is accurate.

    Yet when it comes to a disease, we have a coterie of people who insist, sometimes with dying breath, that doctors and virologists and epidemiologists know less than random dude on Facebook.

    I guess because denying clogged toilets isn't a political loyalty test.

    And yet there is mounting evidence that the CDC is correct on this one & this doctor is wrong.

    The vaccine helps reduce the SYMPTOMS of the virus, but it is not preventing the TRANSMISSION.

    Yet, 90-95% of people testing positive or going to the hospital are unvaccinated.

    The 6 most vaccinated states are doing fine, while the 6 least vaccinated states are surging.

    Get vaccinated people.

    First of all, you are cherry-picking the single worst number available. The 39% isn't necessarily wrong, but there are lots of other studies with higher numbers. And there are definitely some questions to be answered about this study - which I assume will be answered in due time.

    Second, 39% is still a lot better than 0%. The vaccine, even if the 39% is correct, is still preventing a lot of infections.

    As far as onward transmission by a vaccinated person who has gotten infected, yes, they can transmit the virus. Although they are of course more likely to transmit it to an unvaccinated person than a vaccinated person.

    That's just Californians, though. They are nothing like us.
