Yes, and now they will want us to get used to "masking up" and staying six feet apart when attending a group function. This kind of thing will slowly keep creeping in until it is just accepted by everyone. It isn't like it hasn't happened before...
-
I have never encountered anyone like this, but I keep hearing stories about people who never wear a mask or socially-distance and can just say they are "exempt." Apparently there are lists of factors that make one "exempt" from having to follow the public health rules, ranging from physical disabilities, to racial profiling concerns, to "emotional distress" sort of things.
-
What if the "experts" tell you to?
-
Did you think they'd still be spying on you and making you take off your shoes at the airport 19 years after 9/11?
-
Yes, the pandora's box has been opened. The government almost never removes tools of control from its toolbox, it simply adds to them. I don't see how 1,000 flu deaths a day in December, January, March is somehow going to be "allowed" now... the govt will intervene to "slow the spread" again.
-
Let us know as soon as you receive the vaccine.
-
We can’t gloss over the fact that no mRNA vaccine has ever been approved for use in humans. This is uncharted territory. All in six months under something titled “warp speed.” Is anyone surprised people are wary? That doesn’t make them idiots.
-
It’s shocking how many here can’t envision the “state of emergency” just being extended forever due to the next bad flu or “resurgent COVID.” Or maybe they are OK with that reality.
-
It’s been like 6 months dude. It’s a brand new technique never used before in a vaccine in humans as well. How can you say this is not rushed? Come on.
-
Like I said last night, the tech-class office workers who have been on 100% telework for months just aren’t concerned about that. It never factors into the equation.
-
Sounds like something out of China or Canada. Perhaps Australia too.
-
More despotic than telling everyone to get the experimental vaccine and then keeping them locked down anyway? Where do you put the cutoff for when you lift restrictions? I just don’t trust the govt with an open ended deadline.
-
I have logged more hours on the road this summer and fall than probably anyone else on this forum, so yeah. There is a large groundswell of people who don’t want the vaccine because they think it is dangerous and won’t change the govt’s desire for control, and it isn’t just crazy white militia prepper types either.
-
Ok, but distrust of a rushed, govt-enforced vaccine doesn’t make anyone an idiot. You can feel free to line up to be the first to get jabbed and then don your mask and hunker down at home for another six months anyway. That’s a perfectly legit choice to make. But others will be more wary.
-
Yep. I’m sure the answer is in there somewhere. Good ol’ trusty polls.
-
Are you surprised that suddenly minorities do not trust this vaccine? Seems kinda ridiculous to call them all idiots.
-
More super reliable polling!
-
I feel like giving the end of restrictions a very long tail is exactly how we end up with them never going away fully... You should be able to get the vaccine and a little ID card that allows you to keep the mask off and go wherever you want.
-
Sure, but once you get the vaccine the restrictions for you should end. That needs to be the deal.
-
If the vaccine is truly 95% effective and widely available, they need to open us up. Anyone scared of getting the virus can get the vaccine. Those who refuse, clearly don’t care about COVID and we can’t worry about them. The government still keeping everyone restricted indefinitely because some recalcitrant buttheads refuse to the take the vaccine is a scary thought.
-
Talk to people outside your bubble? Only 46% of Americans say they would even consider getting the vaccine in the first round. Fauci and Cuomo both said restrictions would continue even with a vaccine.
-
It’s going to be hard to justify jabbing yourself with a rushed, highly-experimental vaccine if it doesn’t even change things for you in terms of restrictions.
-
We need a pledge from the govt that if we take this vaccine we are released from lockdowns, masks, etc. There is a lot of concern out there that they will mandate a vaccine and then still keep people masked-up and locked down anyway, which would suck.
-
According to Pfizer’s data. There are at-risk groups such as pregnant women that still need to be wary, IMO.
-
Surprised to see about an inch or so out there this morning. Very nice.
