So are children. If that's the rationale, then there's no rationale for vaxxing the kids.

I have nothing against vaccines. I have an issue when they try vaxx passports. If someone choses not to get vaxxed, who cares?
The wind would go out of the sails of the anti-vax campaign if you: a) recognized naturally immunity, b) didn't force it on the kids, c) recognized the novavax vaccine, and d) hadn't flip flopped on the restrictions. It only has any staying power because people dug their heels in at the high handedness of the health authorities.

The vax mandates will melt into the background once the FDA gives the green light for therapeutics. Just an opinion. We would very well carry on with mandates but stop short on boosters. Boostering every 6-8 months is not tenable, convenient, or efficient. Pills are the way to go.
No one will admit that we've been learning on the fly on how to treat this disease. It's unlike anything we've seen. Remember ventilators? This virus behaves differently, at times not making sense to anyone. But don't worry, more money to be made. Stay tuned for the commercials with people sauntering through a wheat field with sunflowers in their hair, feeling great after taking whatever pill(s) are finally approved. It's coming.

I think for the US its less philosophical than that. When 2 of the 3 branches of the legislative branch can be controlled by a minority of the voters, and those 2 branches in turn can control the judicial branch, then there is some very fundamental flaws in the system.
No politician really wants to runs on policy (or be judged on it), culture issues are much easier to run on and much easier to roll with for cycle after cycle.
Wrong (again).
No, Vaccinated People Are Not ‘Just as Likely’ to Spread the Coronavirus as Unvaccinated People
This has become a common refrain among the cautious—and it’s wrong.

You're babbling.
No it's not. The Ds are being pulled by the post modernist on both the economic and cultural issue front (it's that they don't want to upset their donor base that the emphasis has been more cultural...post modernism suffers from a contradiction that it's adherents are usually the wealthiest and best educated)...the Rs by the traditionalists like Trump. Modernists like Sinema, Manchin, Romney or McCain were caught in the middle of it all and have had to make a choice over what's the lesser of two evils. Some modernists, like McConnell or HRC or Biden, tried to coop the wings, with varying but generally little degrees of success.
The federalist system is the only thing holding the country together right now. It's the only way we get through this really, especially if the Great Sorting becomes even more pronounced and noticeable. Biden was elected as a caretaker president who could hopefully try to pull the country together...the fact that he hasn't is the chief reason why his poll numbers are so down....it was especially the hope of the moderates in the center.
Those of us who are conscientious of our health and prefer to stay away from those who are not.

I am not one that buys what Big Pharma is selling. Way too many years living, working under their umbrella. Pfizer did a press release that said 90%, they weren't even finished with their trials yet. they've never gone back to correct the record. The FDA would have approved a vaccine at 50% or above.
I don't buy the fact that there is a coordinated national anti-vax campaign. The government shot itself in the foot with their messaging and stance. At some point they should be held accountable..but they won't be . Blame politicians for politicizing public health. We are just now seeing good numbers in minority vaccination. That could have been addressed much earlier. Instead politicians engaged in a culture war. Vaccine hesitancy is a real thing, just ask people in MS who've been skeptical of any type of federal public health intervention since the 30s.
Delta certainly accelereated spread but the vaccines are effective against Delta. An unbiased, transparent vaccination campaign would have fared better than what occurred. The tone was set in 2019 and early 2020. You can thank DC for that.

We should ask Dominic to limit your QED and strawman posts.
Why would he want to limit true statements?
if you have gotten the Vax, and are still uncomfortable with living your life, that is fine. I'd question why that is, but you are free to make that choice.
I don't see how that gives you the right to force something on people, so that you are comfortable

It's a fact that vaccines hitch hike on the immune system of all those cases you hyped from the start. Not to mention sanitation systems and clean drinking water. When you take in to consideration the arsenal of integrated systems that humans rely on vaccines are not that amazing. They are just a part of the arsenal required to help the immuno compromised and the old.

IMO California elementary schools are great, middle schools are pretty good and our high schools are a disaster, particularly for kids that need extra assistance. I find too many HS teachers are straight up lazy, more worried about their rights than their obligations. A lot of the principals aren't any better. We have a new principal that shows up in a hoody and sweatpants with her shirt hanging out...looks like she just rolled out of bed. Ever since she started she has just cancelled existing school programs because they "require too much work and teacher support". It sometimes takes months for my daughters teachers to grade papers and often weeks to score tests that don't involve a scantron.
It's not just bus drivers that are needed, its a shortage of school food service workers, maintenance workers etc. Remember that 4.3 million people quit their jobs in August.

Funny, that's how this pandemic started.
