JUST IN: The Biden administration is working to develop a "vaccine passport" that will allow Americans to travel and enter businesses that require proof of vaccination -WaPo

And so it begins.

It's a foolish concept ......and sets a bad precedent.

Dangerous .

Under Reagan: "Land of the Free"

Under Biden: "Papers, please"
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Maybe we will have to show our vaccine passports to vote.

Hey America, you need to get vaccinated so you can keep wearing two masks and social distance forever!

You must be some type of work for my name to slip from your mouth on a thread I haven't visited in over a month. Odd, you also think somehow that I think vaccine passports are a "wet dream" and not something to further divide people into groups. Very odd that this doesn't align with any point of view I've ever expressed but you know me so well random guy on the internet, thank you for interpreting my thoughts for myself.

Will masks become the 'new normal' even after the pandemic has passed? Some Americans say so
Quote:

"I think we do need a new culture of masks, at least any time not feeling well, and I think masks are in and handshakes out for the indefinite future," said Dr. Tom Frieden, the former director of the C.D.C. during the Obama Administration and the president of global health initiative Resolve to Save Lives.


Who cares? Is it that much of an inconvenience?
Are you serious Clark? You don't think the way we have been doing school, business and restaurants the last year has been an inconvenience?

Wow.
The issue of convenience does not matter. No one who is well should have any government functionary tell them what to wear or be subject to house arrest or have their private property rights infringed on. The abuse of power by the government has been sickening. The only thing more sickening is how we tolerated it.


About 500,000 of us didn't.
Don't forget the bright side. Covid has greatly reduced deaths attributed to Heart Disease, Diabetes, and the Flu.
total excess deaths = 85K. a 14% increase over the 2015-1029 average. 15% of 85k is 11,900.

So the net effect of CV pandemic and our mitigation efforts......about 12k extra deaths.

Whether that is a win or a loss is something that can be formed that round or pounded flat.

Have fun.

I will have a major problem if we're required to wear them even if we aren't sick.
Then start a thread with a quote that says something about such requirements instead of triggering yourself over shadows.
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (The Law, p.6) Frederic Bastiat

You wouldn't take 14% of 85K. 85K represents the actual 14% increase above the five-year average, so that would be the basis of your cost-benefit analysis. The equivalent number in the US is about 360K.

is that worth what we've been thru in terms of economic and human costs in other areas?

40K is usually considered a bad flu year, so about nine times that number in excess deaths over and above the average (or almost 14 times in terms of total deaths, which is a more apples-to-apples comparison).

Ok. multiply it times five. Doesn't the same question apply?
You wouldn't take 14% of 85K. 85K represents the actual 14% increase above the five-year average, so that would be the basis of your cost-benefit analysis. The equivalent number in the US is about 360K.
so about twice the number of a bad flu year.

is that worth what we've been thru in terms of economic and human costs in other areas?
40K is usually considered a bad flu year, so about nine times that number in excess deaths over and above the average (or almost 14 times in terms of total deaths, which is a more apples-to-apples comparison).


Counts are increasing again in Northern Colorado.

Very concerning .

With all the vaccinations underway thought we would have seen a dramatic drop .
Deaths or infections?


Infections
Vaccine was not developed to stop infection, only to stop severe outcomes of infections. It does the latter very well thus far. That's the oddity of calling this a vaccine.

Will masks become the 'new normal' even after the pandemic has passed? Some Americans say so

"I think we do need a new culture of masks, at least any time not feeling well, and I think masks are in and handshakes out for the indefinite future," said Dr. Tom Frieden, the former director of the C.D.C. during the Obama Administration and the president of global health initiative Resolve to Save Lives.


Who cares? Is it that much of an inconvenience?
Are you serious Clark? %A0You don't think the way we have been doing school, business and restaurants the last year has been an inconvenience?

Wow.
The issue of convenience does not matter. No one who is well should have any government functionary tell them what to wear or be subject to house arrest or have their private property rights infringed on. The abuse of power by the government has been sickening. The only thing more sickening is how we tolerated it.


About 500,000 of us didn't.
Don't forget the bright side. %A0Covid has greatly reduced deaths attributed to Heart Disease, Diabetes, and the Flu.
total excess deaths = 85K. %A0 %A0a 14% increase over the 2015-1029 average. %A0 %A015% of 85k is 11,900. %A0

So the net effect of CV pandemic and our mitigation efforts......about 12k extra deaths.

Whether that is a win or a loss is something that can be formed that round or pounded flat.

Have fun.

Thanks for the link. He is wrong about vaccines always containing organisms. Genetically engineered antigens have been developed since the 1990s.

As noted by the CDC, vaccines have been shown to work against symptomatic and asymptomatic covid infection. If there's evidence to the contrary, the video provides none.

It's been pretty hellish on people born with hearing losses. Reached an age where I could navigate this socially with few problems, but this has been a big setback that affects every social interaction. Many have been understanding and pull off their mask when I tell them what is going on, but started seeing again some who are exasperated or upset about something people have no control over.
