You could actually do some analysis instead of just mocking it, you know.
In fairness, I said, "almost", but J&J is about 72% effective in the US, right? Basically the same as the claim of the mask at 70%.
That’s what I thought. 70% is 70%. I was wrong.In fairness, I said, "almost", but J&J is about 72% effective in the US, right? Basically the same as the claim of the mask at 70%.
How Effective Is the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine? Here’s What You Should Know
We asked UCSF infectious disease expert Monica Gandhi, MD, MPH, to unpack some of the big questions around vaccine science, such as how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine differs, how well it works against the new variants, and whether you should be worried about transmitting the virus after vaccination.www.ucsf.edu
So, if someone is telling me this is the case, that means from the time we started mask policy in CA, if we would have replaced masks with everyone being vaccinated by the J&J shot (and given two weeks), we would expect the same number of new hospitalizations and deaths. Is that the claim?
Much of Texas, many, many businesses are going on with full Covid-19 precautions. Masks, social distancing and limiting occupancy. Texans aren’t stupid, but their politically motivated governor is acting like he is.
I was going to comment something similar but stopped- only because what I had was just anectdotal from a friend living in San Antonio.
My wife is there now. I have family and friends literally all over Texas and get the same reports even from the trumpiest of them.
So the bars and restaurants are not open 100%?
You said it was a bad idea. Why would it be a bad idea? Increases the spread right?
What this tells me is that people (in majority) are actually smarter than we give them credit for and will often do the right thing without the government having to tell them to do it.
So above we see you think it is a bad idea.

There is a difference between “a bad idea” and “will result in March cases being above February cases”.
Abbott was being a political twit. He was trying to distract people from the broken water pipes that resulted when the weakly regulated natural gas pipelines froze. And, to the extent that Texans are wearing their masks less, they are suffering higher rates of covid infection than they would otherwise have seen.Abbott is being a political twit.He has the data on masks, he knows they work, and he repeals the mask rule anyway.Why? He needs a distraction. Repealing a mask mandate is easier than talking about the near complete failure of the electric grid and natural gas infrastructure.So Abbott repeals the mask rule to distract people from their broken water pipes.
So above we see you think it is a bad idea.
To be fair you don't like the idea of people doing much of anything
That said have we seen any spike in cases due to lifting the mask mandate or allowing restaurants, bars, biz to be at 100% capacity?
Clearly you would not have allowed it.
But now as the data comes in what do we see?
There is no issue is there, correct?

America's dirty little secret: A lot of us don't want to go back to normal.
If you feel that way, you're totally not alone.

all restrictions should have been removed by last May 2020. We already had all the data we needed. But no, the self appointed experts lined up behind Fauci the Fraud like the sheep that they are.
So much for not telling others how to live their lives. Isn't that your battle cry? You people crack me up.
Lab data or real world results? Real world results clearly shows that there is zero correlation, let alone causation, between mandates, or lack of thereof, and Covid infections. You don't need a math or epidemiology degree to understand that concept (although it apparently helps if you don't have that degree)
