Dershowitz: I have the right to get on an airplane and know that everybody on that airplane has been vaccinated or testedhttps://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1420934369695334401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Well, pretty much if you're vaccinated, you don't need to worry about your health relative to others' disease or vaccination status. There is no "right to know" the vaccination or disease status of your fellow passengers.
Did he really say he thinks COVID is worse than smallpox? What planet is he living on, because it certainly is not this one!
Perhaps not. The revised CDC guidelines are based on an outbreak of Delta variant among vaccinated people: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/30/provincetown-covid-outbreak-vaccinated/?wpmk=1&wpisrc=al_news__alert-hse--alert-national&utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert&pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjb29raWVuYW1lIjoid3BfY3J0aWQiLCJpc3MiOiJDYXJ0YSIsImNvb2tpZXZhbHVlIjoiNTk2OTk1ZTM5YmJjMGY2ZDcxYzRkMTNmIiwidGFnIjoid3BfbmV3c19hbGVydF9yZXZlcmUiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YXNoaW5ndG9ucG9zdC5jb20vaGVhbHRoLzIwMjEvMDcvMzAvcHJvdmluY2V0b3duLWNvdmlkLW91dGJyZWFrLXZhY2NpbmF0ZWQvP3dwbWs9MSZ3cGlzcmM9YWxfbmV3c19fYWxlcnQtaHNlLS1hbGVydC1uYXRpb25hbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWFsZXJ0JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXdwX25ld3NfYWxlcnRfcmV2ZXJlJmxvY2F0aW9uPWFsZXJ0In0.Ztooe8wZ-3ICMKtu1sOlayHTzLJYhe7g0Hzyot87TS4
A sobering scientific analysis published Friday of an explosive Massachusetts covid-19 outbreak fueled by the delta variant found that three-quarters of the people who became infected were fully vaccinated. The report, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bolstered the hypothesis that vaccinated people can spread the more transmissible variant and may be a factor in the summer surge of infections.
The data, detailed in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, provided key evidence that convinced agency scientists to reverse recommendations on mask-wearing and advise that vaccinated individuals wear masks in indoor public settings in some circumstances.
Critically, the study found that vaccinated individuals carried as much virus in their noses as unvaccinated individuals, and that vaccinated people could spread the virus to each other. The CDC was criticized this week for changing its mask guidance without citing unpublished data. The report released Friday contains that data.
So in other words, the "we should get the vaccine so life can go back to normal" argument was just a bunch of hogwash.
Actually, it is more likely that the conclusion this study should be sobering and explosive is hogwash.
I don't know. I don't normally agree with jinx, but I would say when 3/4 of new cases in Mass. are fully vaccinated, that is certainly pretty sobering and newsworthy. It does call into question the efficacy of a vaccine so highly touted.
It is not sufficient information to freak out as so many seem to be doing in government and media.
What percentage of the people in that particular population were vaccinated?
How was their vaccination status determined?
How many of those with positive tests, vaccinated or not, have cases that require significant medical attention?
Are the numbers of cases higher or lower than you would get with a group of unvaccinated individuals in a similar setting?
What was the mix of the three authorized vaccines in the population?
The efficacy of the vaccines depends on their continued ability to prevent serious illness and death. What will call into question the efficacy of the vaccines is going to be if we see people getting sick and dying at the same rates or nearly the same rates whether they are vaccinated or not. This could happen, but it is not happening at this point.
