Me. I agreed with HR that any work colleagues who weren't vaccinated should not be allowed back on site.

My mate Mick. He laughed his arse off at Nadal getting kicked out of Australia before the open.

About 90% of the people frustrated at the lock-downs going on for so long because a few selfish morons were spreading the infection.

Xi Jinping. He's still going pretty hard. The whole lockdown thing was probably his idea.

Donald Trump. He supported Xi's approach.

By thanking China for their attempt to contain it? Trump just wanted to limit international travel from heavily infected areas of the world. When he tried, his opponents called him racist and they had the courts force him to open up. This was already a major part of our world health emergency plan, but it was thrown away. The spread flooded America's big travel centers pretty quick after that, but most of rural America was doing pretty good still....Until Biden told everyone who was vaccinated to go forth and spread carelessly; that they didn't need a mask or precautions. This is when Corona quickly began to spread to all corners of rural America. Then, it wasn't just a democrat big-city problem any more.

For their (at that stage) unique method of containing it. Lock everyone down.

Until Biden told everyone who was vaccinated to go forth and spread carelessly; that they didn't need a mask or precautions.

That was a the Trump appointed Judge Kathryn Mizelle who removed the mask precautions as her decision in Health Freedom Defense Fund v. Biden. As with so many Trump appointments, she was rated "Not Qualified" by the American Bar Association when she was nominated. And as with many of their decisions, it was legally indefensible. However, there was little point in appealing it, as most of the damage would be done by the time it was heard.

No, that was Biden telling people that if you got vaccinated, you didn't have to wear a mask, nor social distance. He made it like a reward.

What you are talking about was well after the virus had ravaged the whole country under Biden.

Makes sense. If you're immune, you can get infected with less risk. And you're viral load doesn't get as high, so you're less infectious.

But some fucked up federalist society Trump judge ruled that the CDC can't require protections against infection.

What you are talking about was well after the virus had ravaged the whole country under Biden.

Especially high Trump voting regions.

Vaccines don't make you immune and we found the lessening of viral load from Covid vaccines to be quite paltry and to wane very quickly for the vaccine. (viral load measurements are only a proxy and only theoretically mean the rate of transmission is lower, in a general average, with lower viral load.)

This helped the vaccinated, with their Biden inspired false sense of confidence, to spread the pandemic from Biden voting, travel-hub, urban areas, to the rural high Trump voting regions who were largely unscathed with low risk, until then.

Covid was largely the pandemic of the vaccinated, in my observation.

They can. Most of the ones on the market protect in the high 90% range.

What are the numbers here that you're calling "quite paltry"?

Covid was largely the pandemic of the vaccinated, in my observation.

This is your observations that you made in the street?
