As long as there's fear of spread, there will be masks.

Just got off the phone with a long-time friend, retired intel, age late 60's. Double vaxxed, double boosted. Just got CV. He's pissed. Thought he was protected.

He's wrong to be pissed. I have not understood people who think the jabs give you 100% permanent protection from a mutating bug.

Just got back from New York and New Jersey. Felt like Texas. A few masks, no requests for papers.

I have heard anecdotally that Broadway is still Covid Crazy, but that makes sense given it is the realm of the crazy, privileged Karen.

The experts I heard didn't say that. People hear what they want to hear.

So Fauci isn't an expert.

Careful buddy, if you keep saying stuff like that they'll cancel you.

Let me repeat what we're looking for: "100% permanent protection from a mutating bug."

I would have given it the benefit of the doubt at 90%. Instead we're sub flu vaccine levels, and the benchmark changed from protection from infection to protection from severe COVID. A fascinating stat is that we will have more COVID cases in 2022 than we had in the entire pandemic prior to this year. And not just in the US, but globally.

Let's at least be intellectually honest and say that the experts thought it would provide a high likelihood of protection against infection, and it has not, even with now a third booster.

The change was in public perception, at least the anti-vax public, not the actual benchmarks. The vaccines did provide a high level of protection against infection from the variants that were active at that time.

Let's be intellectually honest and admit that the benchmark for approval of these vaccines was a 50 percent reduction in infection or severe illness.

Delta was the deadliest variant, and it was known before this article was written. It ravaged across Europe and the US 8 months later. The vaccine has continually operated like an advance therapeutic and not an immuno-vaccine as it was originally thought and touted to be. There's certainly a benefit to reducing severe COVID, no argument there. It has not curbed spread by any meaningful measure, nor does it appear it ever will. This wasn't a miss by the "ant-vax" crowd, it was a miss by the actual product itself.

Again, let's be honest. The vaccines were going to be rolled out of all they did was reduce severe illness by 50 percent. That was the threshold standard under Operation Warp Speed.

Obviously we've talked about this before. It's just...wrong. The product was a vaccine, and by any normal standard it was effective against Delta. It's wasn't 100% effective, which brings me back to my question. When did Fauci, or any expert, ever say it was 100% effective and permanent against present and future variants?
