    Fauci Says Domestic Travel Vaccination Rule Should Be Considered (msn.com)

    I'm vaccinated (including booster) and have flown 5 times in the last couple months, but i disagree with this.  You can catch the virus and transmit whether you are vaxed or non-vaxed.   The unvaccinated have been on planes and in restaurants ever since March 2020.  Why start now?  COVID19 is terrible, but time for people to make their own decisions about what they are comfortable doing and move on.  
    Yep.  I'm fully vaxxed and currently dealing with my own case of covid.  It's blatantly obvious that being vaxxed does not help contain the spread so why on earth would they institute a mandate like this??  It will do nothing.  It's like the vax mandate that Chicago and Cook County have going into place in January where you have to be fully vaxxed to go to gyms, restaurants, movies, etc...  NYC and LA have had a similar mandate in place for months and they are both seeing record amounts of cases.  What science are they following here???  It's all just political theater.  
    The chances of you going to the hospital and dying are far lower because you are vaccinated.

    That's why we still want people to be vaccinated and why we should be making life less convenient for the unvaccinated.

    Fuck the unvaccinated.
    That last comment is unnecessary.  Some have perfectly good reasons.  The J&J vaccine fiasco is enough support for the argument that these vaccines were rushed.  If these vaccines were perfectly safe the. They wouldn’t tell people not to get the J&J vaccine months after telling people to use it.  

    My dad has been dealing with AFIB and serious high/low blood pressure issues ever since taking the J&J vaccine.   Too much of a coincidence.   He would love to take back the decision of getting vaxed.  Could he have got the same issues with COVID, sure, but the fact remains most likely that the vaccine hurt him instead.  Is there proof?  No, but too much of a coincidence to not have those symptoms and then a few days after the vaccine having those symptoms long term.

    Edit:  I got the Pfizer booster last week.  Decided not to mix and match since I didn’t have any issues with the Pfizer vaccine originally.
    That comment is very annoying to me as well. It either comes from a place of self righteousness or assuming anyone who isn’t vaccinated is a white , racist , anti science conservative. Which just isn’t the truth. 

    Anti Vaccine conspiracy theorists? Yea , I’d agree. Fuck them. But the people who looked into the facts and decided it’s not for them, I have no problem with. Vaccinated people who threw caution to the wind because they felt invincible are also responsible for spreading the virus. But who cares? People should worry about themselves and do what’s best for them. 
    I'd be curious to know how true this is (or if it's at all measurable).  Anecdotally, I find that vaccinated people are still more cautious than non-vaccinated people. I'm sure there are vaccinated people who think it's like armor. There's a tendency for unvaxxed people to "not live in fear." IN GENERAL, I think vaxxed people are more conscious of things beyond "99% survival" (i.e., being a link in the spread, demand on the health care system, etc.). The "unvaxxed for political reasons" crowd tends to think we should be doing nothing preventative.  It's funny when a store says "masks required for unvaxxed." I'd bet it's the vaxxed that are disproportionately masked.

    Are there people that either cannot be vaccinated or chose not to because of certain non-conspiracy-based fears who are otherwise conscientious?  Probably a few but not a lot. In general, I'd say the lion's share of the spread still falls on the unvaxxed.

    I don't personally know any unvaxxed that I know of. All I can tell you is, last summer, with friends coming in from Vancouver and our usual 5 families getting together for two weeks for drinks and relaxation at the lake, sitting in a veranda in very close quarters for hours on end, when cases were at the then-high for the pandemic, all of us vaxxed were opening saying "the pandemic is over for me".

    Alright then.  Starting next week I won't be able to bring my 5 year old to restaurants or movie theaters because he isn't fully vaxxed yet.  Fuck him though, right?
    Give me a break, you know that's not what I meant.

    I don't know where you live but where I live if you are not eligible to get vaccinated you can still.go everywhere the vaccinated can.

    Again, fuck the "willingly" unvaccinated.

    The OP lives in the same area that I do.  Ages 5 and up are eligible to be vaccinated.  On January 3, anyone aged 5 and older that is not fully vaccinated cannot go to restaurants, theaters, etc. as he mentioned.  I have no idea if he intends to vaccinate his child and frankly it is none of my business.  I do think mandating children as young as 5 years old to be vaccinated to enter these establishments is over-reaching, and I certainly would not subscribe to the "fuck them" mentality.

    Curious what people’s days are like on here….
    I had the day off today, took my kid to get a passport renewal, grabbed a coffee and a donut afterwards. We exchanged some Christmas presents she wasn’t too happy about then my wife took her shopping at a few other stores. People everywhere, masks everywhere, all indoors. Been this way for us for close to a year and a half now.  We’re careful, all vaxxed and our life has gone on. Life is a risk. You can get car jacked, shot, mugged, killed in a car crash, get cancer, get shot at work, fall down the stairs, get killed in a tornado….the list goes on and on and on and on.  So did you hide in your house all day? Seriously, what are your days like?

    The only thing I’m sold on is that the vaccine should keep me alive and out of the hospital…good enough for me.  If other folks choose to live with risk…so be it.  However, the unvaccinated should be moved to military built field hospitals at their own expense…plus, it’d really feed into the conspiracy theorist nut jobs out there…

    Good approach.  I'm sure you'll get a lot of bad decision-making parents that don't want to vaccinate their 5 year old to jump on board when you tell them to fuck off.

    Yep.  I'm fully vaxxed and currently dealing with my own case of covid.  It's blatantly obvious that being vaxxed does not help contain the spread so why on earth would they institute a mandate like this??  It will do nothing.  It's like the vax mandate that Chicago and Cook County have going into place in January where you have to be fully vaxxed to go to gyms, restaurants, movies, etc...  NYC and LA have had a similar mandate in place for months and they are both seeing record amounts of cases.  What science are they following here???  It's all just political theater.  
    The chances of you going to the hospital and dying are far lower because you are vaccinated.

    That's why we still want people to be vaccinated and why we should be making life less convenient for the unvaccinated.

    Fuck the unvaccinated.
    Alright then.  Starting next week I won't be able to bring my 5 year old to restaurants or movie theaters because he isn't fully vaxxed yet.  Fuck him though, right?
    Give me a break, you know that's not what I meant.

    I don't know where you live but where I live if you are not eligible to get vaccinated you can still.go everywhere the vaccinated can.

    Again, fuck the "willingly" unvaccinated.
    The OP lives in the same area that I do.  Ages 5 and up are eligible to be vaccinated.  On January 3, anyone aged 5 and older that is not fully vaccinated cannot go to restaurants, theaters, etc. as he mentioned.  I have no idea if he intends to vaccinate his child and frankly it is none of my business.  I do think mandating children as young as 5 years old to be vaccinated to enter these establishments is over-reaching, and I certainly would not subscribe to the "fuck them" mentality.

    If someone isn't vaccinating their eligible child I throw them in the "fuck them" pile. It's not the kids fault their parents make bad decisions.

    I applaud your local government for taking a stand based on common sense and science.
    Good approach.  I'm sure you'll get a lot of bad decision-making parents that don't want to vaccinate their 5 year old to jump on board when you tell them to fuck off. 

    Four out of five of our kids are vaccinated.  We are on the fence about our 8 year old.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    you are factoring in possible health considerations for these otherwiise eligible children before your seemingly blanket "fuck them" aren't  you?

    Curious what people’s days are like on here….
    I had the day off today, took my kid to get a passport renewal, grabbed a coffee and a donut afterwards. We exchanged some Christmas presents she wasn’t too happy about then my wife took her shopping at a few other stores. People everywhere, masks everywhere, all indoors. Been this way for us for close to a year and a half now.  We’re careful, all vaxxed and our life has gone on. Life is a risk. You can get car jacked, shot, mugged, killed in a car crash, get cancer, get shot at work, fall down the stairs, get killed in a tornado….the list goes on and on and on and on.  So did you hide in your house all day? Seriously, what are your days like?
    Took 5 kids to play lazer tag in a core bubble (not an illegal birthday) party. Hell, they go to school together. I'm doing what's permitted and bending the odd rule.

    I don't blame you for your hesitancy.  Be careful saying that out loud in this place though.

    What is up with parents?  Why wouldn’t they vaccinate a five year old who has a .0001% chance of having issues from Covid?  Monsters!

    Agreed. Terrible parents.  They obviously don’t love America.

    The only thing I’m sold on is that the vaccine should keep me alive and out of the hospital…good enough for me.  If other folks choose to live with risk…so be it.  However, the unvaccinated should be moved to military built field hospitals at their own expense…plus, it’d really feed into the conspiracy theorist nut jobs out there…
    We call them FEMA camps and they should be transported by black helicopters.

    Kids can still transmit, if I’m not mistaken. I understand that someone would not just jump to “the greater good” if it could pose a risk to their child’s health but it is more than just chance of survival.

    I think I would vaccinate my eligible kids…but I am glad not to have that decision to make. Covid has roughly doubled the already healthy list of reasons I am glad I never had kids.
