Fauci today saying we need 90% to get herd immunity. More interesting he says he keeps moving the goalpost in part because the science evolves (I’m not aware of anything new of the herd immunity front in months) and in part because he lied. Seriously all these people (Fauci, Redfield, Ferguson, even now Birx) are really awful at the messaging portion of their jobs. CDC saying everyone needs to get vaccinated before masks, distancing etc can be relaxed. It’s like we are playing a huge game of calvinball.
Meanwhile at my uncles old hospital a radiologist colleague has gotten the vaccine. Surprised my father and uncle when they heard. While the nurses and technicians that scan the patients in the er are considered front line, the radiologists aren’t. Has them wondering if it was just special treatment or if some of the frontlines have declined the vaccine (freeing up others to receive). They (because of my fathers allergy problem) have also been trying to get the side effects reports on those that have been vaccinated so far and the information isn’t out there easily...only a few states have published so far.
