I've had both shots, so it doesn't matter to me who gets vaccinated and who doesn't. If I'm immune then I can be around people who aren't. I'm willing to play the odds that if I'm vaccinated I can be around others who choose not to get it. To each his own.

The problem with this is that if enough people don't get vaccinated it allows the virus to mutate with the possibility of affecting all the vaccinated people. You need enough immune people (75-85%) to snuff out the virus before it can mutate into a variant that's potentially more deadly. We're in a foot race right now.

As an aside this is an interested read from docs and nurses who've had to deal with the covid deniers. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/c...ened_when_you/

Are you guys bickering about that virus that has a 99.7% survival rate? Or the one that has “supposedly” killed less than 1% of the US population?

Are death and 100% full recovery the only two possible outcomes of getting COVID?

Never said it was. Yeah, it hits everyone differently but for the most part it’s nothing more than the flu for most. I’ve already had it.

Everyone claims to want to follow the science so given the numbers I’m gonna live my life like normal, if it really scares you that bad, then stay home.

I get my second shot tomorrow. I am still wearing a mask most times. In Texas, most places it's not mandatory. Some it still is but not most. It's suggested to but not mandated even where I workout.

My daughter, the data scientist, doesn't want to get one yet. She is 24 and married and all I can do is tell her I think she should, and I do tell her. She won't budge for now and says she might get one in the future. To each their own I guess.

Exactly, to each their own. I refuse to wear a mask also. Expecting a surgical mask or a gator to protect you from a virus that’s nanometers small is like relying on a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes. They’re plain theatre. Just my two cents.

That type of mask is to protect others from you if you have the virus. They do not protect you from getting it. This is one of the biggest problems, most don't even understand the types of masks and what they do. (insert hand slapping head emoji).

Asking seriously, do you feel masks are unnecessary for doctors operating on patients?

The Chicago auto show got permission from state officials to have their event earlier in July. Why don't the National organizers get on the ball and do that?
