Vaccine

The crazy part is that this apparently makes you an anti-vaxxer if you don't believe everyone should be forced to get a vaccination.
No one should be forced to get vaxxed, but, private businesses (and all government controlled areas) also should have the right to dictate who they employ or who they do business with, period.
 
a middle of the road article. Don't agree with everything in it but points out we need an offramp. My main criticism is that we had goalposts already....they keep getting moved......I'm not sure "and this time we really really mean it" is going to convince anyone now on either side.

 
It's a good question. The CDC classifies someone passing from covid inside of 14 days after 1st dose or JJ as unvaccinated.
That doesn't seem unreasonable. I was thinking more of outside the 14 days for a 2 dose vaccine. Isn't the claimed immunity something like 80% after 1st dose and low 90's after 2nd dose?
 
Vax mandate politics shifting, per NBC poll:

"Do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose requiring that everyone who is now eligible must get a COVID-19 vaccine?"

Favor 47% (34% strongly)
Oppose 50% (41% strongly)

Depends on the study. Kaiser and Pfizer show immunity peaking in the high 80s/low nineties shortly after delivery (a month or so after the 1st dose) with acclerating waning after 4 months with a trajectory to 20% shortly after 4 months. Studies out of Israel and Qatar generally back this up. There are so many studies flying around that it's hard to pin anyone down on what's ground truth. Anything coming out of pharma has to be scrutinized carefully.

Compare that to small decrease (5-10%) per year for other vaccines (MMR for example). A signifant drop is evident in MRNA vaccines especially in Pfizer. The sweet spot is being vaccinated and then contracting the virus.

I'm not going to disagree with that, as long as it is not GVMT mandate. If a private business chooses to loose quality employees over it's vaxx policy, so be it.

It's all still incredibly stupid to me. I ask you again, are you protected against the unvaxxed if you are vaxxed? Ok, so then why the hell do you care if someone is vaxxed or not??? There isn't even a valid argument.

Oh and as for pro-choice. I'm not for or against. It's not my place to judge. But why should baby daddy have to pay child support for a kid he didn't want? And why should baby momma abort the kid that baby did want? Oh the irony.

I'm pro-vax age 25 and up but anti-mandate. I'm anti-vaxx under the age of 25 with the exception of underlying conditions. My kids got vaxxed because we were forced to in youth sports. I am extremely anti-vax under the age of 12. So that makes me an Proantivaxxer or Antiprovaxxer. LOL.
 
Why should you convince him/her? Almost 90% of that demographic has been vaccinated. I don't have brilliant plan and frankly don't really care. Due diligence has been done to ensure that person understands their risk.

If they are overweight, diabetic, and 64, they clearly understand the implications of their choices. I'm sure their provider has been talking about their health risk for some time. Santa Clara county is one of the safest novel virus environments in this hemisphere. Your vaccination rates are through the roof. I'm sure there are parents calling their pediatricion every day to see when the pfizer kid doses will arrive. The last piece of the puzzle for SC county is vaccinating 5-12s.

Sit back and enjoy the sunset with a glass of great wine in hand.

Don't disagree with much of what you wrote, especially the wine part. But, it's a pretty big leap to think an anti-vaxxer is regularly seeing their "provider". Up in these neck of the woods, the anti-vaxxer varietal we see more of is they type that consults with their Shaman.

My kids are both vaxxed because I think it was the right decision, but we held out awhile for my son who was 13. My 17 DD, now 18, still has a side effect from vax. Under 12, with no underlying conditions, I just don't see much point in vaccination, but might consider it depending on the situation. Fortunately, we don't have to make that decision. If I had wife or child that were trying to have a child, I would be strongly against vaccination.

“Quality employees”? If they won’t get vaxxed they are a liability.
 
It appears we are losing public safety employees who do not believe in public safety and medical care employees who do not believe in medical science.
Those EXACT SAME PEOPLE where “heros” 12 months ago, so what changed, the science or the politics?

Talk about paralyzed by fear and inability to assess risk. If I'm in serious car accident or having a heart attack I don't give shit what the vaccination status of my first responder is. Hey thanks for saving my life, but I'm going to sue you because you might have given me Covid. What kind of POS does that? The problem is not any real liability caused by the the unvaccinated emergency workers, the problem is the feeble minded assholes that want to sue.

How ungrateful can you be? These people showed up for work for months and risked their lives with the added risk of Covid and now you want to crap on them. Un-freaking-believable.
