Fine. Assuming vaccinated people absolutely cannot spread the virus. It’s all the more reason to get vaccinated, isn’t it?
the ONLY goddamned reason I got vaccinated was so I could lower my chances of spreading it to elderly relatives I intend to see next month.
I did get the vaccine not at the suggestion of anyone here, nor from the words Fauci spoke and continues to speak. I got it only at the request of family ---- ALREADY vaccinated ---- so they would feel better. I did so at my own goddamned peril in the future, at which time my elderly family will be long gone. I did so while not knowing the risks of this vaccine 5-10-20 years into the future.
I can assure you that I do understand that the vaccine is not a cure-all fail-safe to contracting and spreading the virus. If it was, then Fauci wouldn't be saying what he is saying. And what he is saying is why others have not gotten the vaccine. WHY get a vaccine that is rushed to the market, incorporates mRNA when no other vaccine - ever - has made it to the market using this, and then also being told that you can still get the Rona and still spread the Rona? Of course, then it adds a conspiracy theory element to it. I don't believe in the conspiracy element ("the gubmint gonna use it to track you", "the gubmint gonna make you a zombie", etc) as those are pretty unhinged when you delve into them. I also refuse to believe that President Peepads Xiden and Vice Whoresident Kneepads were injected with anything other than saline. Why? Because it makes zero sense to inject the leaders of the strongest country in the world with an unproven, unknown vaccine when they have the absolute best healthcare available in the entire world. They're also shielded from the American public, do not congregate in large groups, and have likely had their staff vaccinated.
"Ah, but you just said that being vaccinated doesn't prevent you from getting it nor spreading it, so why should the President and Vice President feel safe," you might want to twist and ask me. To which, I'll ask you the same question.
In the link from the NYTimes journalist who tried to cut into the heart of how the Rona came to be, he pushed aside political leanings. He used facts, dates, times, filed paperwork and more facts to pinpoint what happened. I do not believe that releasing the KungFlu onto the world was nefarious, since it's IS easily defeated. If it were intentional, the virus would have been more deadly. I do believe that the virus was an accidental release and there was a massive cover-up that involved the scientists who worked in the lab, the administrators of the lab, the Chinese government, the Americans who provided funding to the lab, and a segment of our politicians who looked the other way.
While you, Tibs and 21IQ21 want to screech "wear masks" from inside your self-inflated bubbles, others are looking at how to prevent this from happening again. In doing so, you simply HAVE to follow the chain of command backwards to discover how this happened - then and only then can you point the finger of blame at those involved.
15 months later and we still do not have an "official" definition of how this occurred. Natural? not likely. Man-made? Seems the evidence points to it. Who's involved? Now you're getting to the brass tacks.
I know this word salad was entirely too much for you to digest at once, and even if you read all of it you still won't have any rational response.
