Works how? Vaccinated still contract and spread.yeah, that’s the graph. the top right corner is high vax, high hospitalization. It’s completely empty, because the vax works.

Vaccinated folks can spread covid, but we aren't very good at it. The immune system lowers the viral load before we can infect all that many people.Works how? Vaccinated still contract and spread.
Ah, I see...vaccine use to mean immunity...but now is defined as "less sick"... dizzying.Vaccinated folks can spread covid, but we aren't very good at it. The immune system lowers the viral load before we can infect all that many people.
We also tend to get less sick, so we don't show up as hospitalizations.
Unvaccinated people who never had covid are much more efficient at infecting others. Their immune system doesn't know what to do, so it takes longer to decrease the viral load. That means they are contagious for a longer time. More time means more new people infected.
The unvaccinated are also are far more likely to be hospitalized.
But you knew all that, right? Why ask?
None whatsoever.What good did our wearing masks crossing the dining room actually do?
Yeah, certain viruses mutate to quickly/easily for a vaccine to be of any use. HIV is one. Some don’t, such as measles, so one vaccine may completely protect you (can’t get it, can’t spread it) for life. COVID-19 is somewhere in between. At some point it’s very likely the original vaccine won’t offer any protection from a new variant. However, the vaccine may offer “partial” protection - less severe case and shorter duration - from variants that haven’t move too far from the original version of the virus that was used as the basis for the vaccine.Ah, I see...vaccine use to mean immunity...but now is defined as "less sick"... dizzying.
And what that means is the covid is likely to be endemic like the flu.Yeah, certain viruses mutate to quickly/easily for a vaccine to be of any use. HIV is one.

I don't know why you are insisting that those advocating vaccines as the safer route to gaining immunity are somehow anti-immune system. Or maybe that's not your argument? In any case, Florida has the worst death rate per 100,000 people right now of all states, and also are tied for, or the worst in the US, when comparing nursing home death rates. I don't think these are good numbers. Maybe Desantis personal finance numbers are looking good? - he invested in some of the monoclonal antibody pharmaceutical companies.I actually don't doubt the value vaccines. ...
But to your point, I don't know enough about monoclonals to opine. All I know is that Desantis is making all you ANTI-IMMUNE SYSTEM movement folks look bad with the kind of numbers the state is churning out despite their OPEN status.
You are fundamentally correct. The issue is the linear approach. Public health has lost its way during this pandemic. Imagine a system that encourages the medical community to vaccinate and treat at the same time. Testing early/often, early disease intervention, no stigma attached to creative treatments prescribed by your doctor. But we'll continue to politicize and divide. Not everyone is going to get vaccinated, especially those that know they've had a previous infection.Vaccinated folks can spread covid, but we aren't very good at it.

Agree.Hence, the CDC changes the definition...
...and "certain viruses"; "to be of any use"; "Some don’t"; "somewhere in between"; "At some point"; "it’s very likely"; "won’t offer any protection"; "may offer “partial” protection"
... that's a lot of gray-area and uncertainty for a MANDATE.
...could be the same reason you are insisting that those who advocate a healthy immune system over a trial drug are anti-vaxxers...funny how that works.I don't know why you are insisting that those advocating vaccines as the safer route to gaining immunity are somehow anti-immune system.

I think having legitimate tools to prevent infection and to help people fight infections (including mAb) are helpful. There is also plenty of history showing the value of vaccines in combatting the spread of infectious disease. I am hoping that the current ebola vaccine trial goes well.
Same reason they can make Grace T walk masked through a restaurant while tables full of unmasked are eating...because they can.This is the idiocy that spreads.
Consider the very high vax rate.
Consider that college age kids have no risk of covid
Then consider what Brown is doing.
