Notice The OFFICIAL Corona Virus Vaccine Game Thread........

Masks work both ways.

Generally, outdoor transmission out of very packed events is unlikely, that's why the recommendation reads as it does

 

So far studies show that once you are fully vaccinated you will not get the virus and you will not pass it on. I think the CDC is being overly cautious.

i think this has been debunked?

I would also think that if fully-vaccinated were still able to catch COVID, which has happened, that alone debunks this. Or am I missing something?

 

Of course you can get covid while vaccinated, your body is just able to fight it which usually means your symptoms are not that bad and you can spread it for less time.

A vaccine is not a wall, it's a bunch of trained ninjas that can identify and fight the intruders

 

I don't think it has been debunked. There are always exceptions to the rule. The data shows that fully vaccinated people almost never pass the virus on.

 

your first statement basically made it final. Your next statement backed down from that. It’s a small percentage, but at least 6,000 fully vaccinated Americans. That’s all I’m saying.

California has recorded about 1,400 ‘breakthrough’ coronavirus cases in fully vaccinated people

 

6,000 breakthrough cases out of 84,000,000 vaccinated.

So 1 in 14,000 could catch covid. And less than 1% of those will need hospitalized.

Why are we arguing over such vanishingly small odds? This literally means once you get fully vaccinated (and wait 2 weeks) you don't have to worry about it.

 

Of course it doesn't.
I'm just implying that it wasn't widely known.

 

You are correct, but to clarify, getting the vaccine only means you are mostly immune from getting the virus, not 100%. You are so immune that the chances of you spreading the disease are so slight that the spread of the disease will slowly fade out.

 

To be honest, it was all over my FB feed. Not saying it was “widely known” but from my perspective/vantage point, it was. There were a ton of graphics in my feed for a month where it definitely felt like it was being used as a buzz word. I’m sure that’s why others are saying it’s been out there for a while. And for someone who might not be on social media as much (I don’t know if you are), I’d certainly understand why you’d feel like it wasn’t a well-known a year ago.

 

Newsflash:
Droplets in air don't spread the same as pee in a pool.

 

Gosh, thanks for the update.

 

Which reminds me of the old adage: A smoking section in a restaurant would be akin to a peeing section in a pool.

 

Newsflash:
Droplets large enough to carry significant amounts of virus do not spread in air the same way smoke spreads in air.

 

Gosh, thanks for the update-squared.

 

ABM: *doesn't understand the difference between viruses and urine or smoke*
Also ABM: *sarcastically thanks people for explaining to him the difference*
