Wondering what being pro-nuremburg has to do with vaccines

it's not a reference to the Nuremberg Trials, but rather to some other thing called the Nuremberg Code, which is apparently a set of ethical principles regarding medical experimentation

it's trying to apply a veneer of legalism and authority to the saying "I'm not anti-vaxx, I just don't to be experimented on!"

Among mRNA vaccinated people the R0 will be way less than 1. It will not sustain transmission among them. That includes wild type and the currently known variants

(this for some reason is an extremely unpopular idea in this thread despite quite a bit of data showing it's holding true)

even if that's true, there's literally 0 downside to requiring masks for a little longer, since not everyone is getting vaccinated

there is not one single anti-vaxx person who is still going to wear a mask once the vaxxers take theirs all off, they're just gonna say oh i left my card at home or give you a fake one

it's not an unpopular opinion to say the vaccines are effective, it's unpopular to say that their effectiveness is enough to control the epidemic on their own, given the rates of vaccination, availability and everything else we know about human behavior

Went out for the first time in more than a year on Friday. Took my girl to a restaurant that we both like. We're both vaxxed and we wore masks in and sat outside away from other diners, but there were a hell of a lot of people who were happily dining maskless indoors. It was nice to get out, but we got nervous and boxed up our dinners and left earlier than we would have. Spent the rest of the weekend watching stupid tv and hanging out in our underwear.

not wearing masks has now become your patriotic duty, citizen

---


Dr. Jonathan Reiner, CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, said on "Inside Politics Sunday" that he thinks the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been too cautious when it comes to its guidelines.

“They’ve been both very competent since the new administration took over and very cautious,” Reiner said of the CDC. “And I think too cautious.”

Reiner said that there was no one more stringent about masks than he was for the first 12 months of the pandemic, but now he can say “with certainty” that if someone is fully vaccinated then they are very well immune, no longer need masks in public and can go into places without masks.

“It’s time for the CDC to start embracing this kind of bifurcated strategy and perhaps giving the unvaccinated a hint of what life can be like if they become vaccinated,” he said.

Reiner added that getting vaccinated is a "patriotic duty."

“That’s really the message. And the message to the public is yes, if you get vaccinated, you will not die from this virus, you will not transmit the virus to someone either you love or just a random stranger,” Reiner said.

“That is your patriotic duty. Your patriotic duty now is really no longer to wear a mask if you’ve already done your patriotic duty, which is to get vaccinated.”

Yeah, all the people not getting vaccines at this point definitely aren't just pretending COVID doesn't exist and haven't been acting like it was 2019 since last summer at the latest. Yep.

Like there are absolutely people who are homebound or whose jobs make it unable for them to get shots but that's solved by making clinics available for them, not by advocating that we all go to Applebee's for a suck and gently caress post jab.
