I believe so. It's honestly hard to say anything besides how many vaccinated people get hospitalized or die because the CDC has chosen, deliberately, not to track that information.
As I said before of Abbott and DeSantis but it applies to Wallensky and the CDC too given what we now know; it is a failure of the American government that they are not in cells awaiting trial for crimes against humanity, and it is a failure of the American people that they have not been dragged screaming from their homes and made to answer for their crimes by mob justice.

Biden is doing literally nothing while Rome burns, and the CDC is going a step further and actively denying people access to information that could save lives and inform safe behavior and policy.

I feel like I have done this whole speech in multiple threads but, please stay away from that stuff, it should be perfectly safe if made in a lab but idiots are making it in bathtubs and making people sick.

In a shocking twist it looks like that drop in COVID cases in Washington state appears to have just been a delay in reporting. I'm just too shocked.

the DOH has been really falling behind. they had national guard people helping with data entry in the fall surge. but now they are gone and short staffed and stopped reporting or doing anything on weekends lol

it seems like vaccinated people are less contagious because they're not as sick and don't have as much viral load. a severe breakthrough is going to be more contagious than an asymptomatic unvax, though.

I don't give a poo poo if it hardens their desire not to get vaccinated. gently caress them. Let them suffer the consequences instead of forcing society to suffer the consequences.

Speaking of this. I need to do something for my birthday in October. I need to see my friends. I haven't since this all began.
I assume an outdoor meeting of under a dozen people just to hang out in a park or yard with a projector, generator, and some video games and movies is reasonably safe? If not, welp, another zoom birthday it is.

EDIT: Presumably unmasked since food, but to clarify, all of us are vaccinated and I'd probably demand they all get tested within 3 days of the party.

Respirator crew I've got a question for you!

My dad is a foreign-language teacher who might need to go back to in-person soon. I bought him an envo mask, but he says when he tries to give a practice lecture it unseals because of how much his mouth/face moves around trying to teach proper pronunciation of the different sounds. He's not sold on the half-face respirator because pronunciation and enunciation are so important to his teaching, and even with a speech diaphragm it might be too muffled. Any thoughts on how to keep the seal on an envo in a situation like this? Or should he stick with N95 equivalents? I'll have him bring a corsi cube or similar air filter too.

its loving ridiculous on campus. all the profs are masked and want students to mask up, but everyone is afraid of the republicans in charge to mandate it. so a huge chunk of the student body is completely unmasked and unvaccinated.

So I've never posted in this thread but I've doomscrolling it for a while and wanted to share something the thread made realize. First off im a PE teacher in Louisiana at a Prek - 2 school. We have our mask mandate and I basically have to be mask police as it seems like very few homeroom teachers do what they are supposed to.

Anyway we are now in week three of school and more and more kids are now getting mask exemptions. Now I get all the medical stuff to watch out for allergies and asthma and what not. None of these kids have any conditions we have been told about. Now maybe I've just crack pinged but I had a kid yesterday with a mask exemption come to class wearing sunglasses. His teacher said he was really sensitive to light the last couple days. And it dawned on me from reading this thread that there is a very good chance he's getting ivermectin at home.

So if I was at school today I would be finding out who the kid was. And then decide if I'm going to report it to CPS. Am I grasping at straws wanting to see something that's not there? Note that this is a Parish where the parents got the school board to send a letting to the state board about making masks optional.

Oh also I'm not at school because I got my 3rd Moderna and I feel god awful right now.

I know hourly union workers at Disney agreed to roll out a vaccine mandate in return for things like paid time off for the shot/recovery and other incentives.

As opposed to the very well understood health risks 10 years down the road of dying in a week.

gently caress em, I'm sure they are the ones rooting for "he who does not work does not eat" and "You can't hand out welfare because it makes people lazy". Let the giant woodchopper that is American capitalism point their way for a split second and see how fast they blink.

probably a bad idea. i'm assuming your friends are good libs who got vaccinated in march, in which case they are 7-8 months past vaccine and efficacy is greatly reduced (like below 40% in some studies). you have like a 3 month window after a jab (booster or whatnot) to get some light loving and sucking in and that's about it. you're describing something similar to an outdoor wedding reception and this thread is full of anecdotes of breakthrough cases and spread at them.

outdoors and everyone vaxxed and masked is probably a little safer, but really... outdoors in october pretty much sucks everywhere except like hawaii
