Vaccinated Americans are vulnerable because of those Americans who refuse to get vaccinated

If the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results, then it is insane to give the un-vaccinated a key to the city and still expect to keep the doors open.

1. We'll just found out my daughter

Has Covid. Fully vaxed. So far no symptoms fingers crossed. She said her aunt has it, (exes sister) must have got at Christmas. We live out of state and stayed home. So glad now.

4. Hoping she'll be alright.

And of course, this wouldn’t be an issue if everyone were vaccinated.

9. Everyone there at dinner was vaccinated

So break through cases could be why no symptoms.

5. A little off topic...

Voting for Republicans for president is also the definition of insanity.

6. The un-vaccinated do not get an automatic key to Fox news building.

Something about a mandate.

7. The reason we got vaccinated: it's to keep us out of the hospitals and the morgues

There never was a promise that we wouldn't get the virus. I repeat: we were never promised that we wouldn't get Covid.

Getting vaccinated gives us enough antibodies so that instead of dying or becoming a human vegetable, we can endure a sore throat and sniffles for a few days and shrug it off. The vaccine is doing its job most of the time. Thank you Dr. Fauci!

8. +1, "...we were never promised that we wouldn't get Covid...." There is no eradication of CV19 if...

... that was the case we could get rid of the common cold too.

We can make it so little that it doesn't pass as much but there was no eradication plan, I think that should be messaged by the CDC; what "win" looks like

10. It's not about FREEDOM and they all know it's an excuse

Their guy F’ed up on a historic level and they can’t admit it to themselves.

11. My daughter and SIL, vaccinated x 2

got Delta and required the monoclonal antibody treatments because SIL’s unvaccinated boss coughed all over my SIL. They all survived but boss has recurrent symptoms after a much lengthier recovery. My kids are now recovered and fine and have since had their boosters. When they first had it they were too early for boosters.

Moral of story: Get Vaccinated all the way.

PS… Daughter said it was as close to death as she would ever want to come.

13. Only partly true

The vax was never intended to stop transmission or stop from getting enough of a viral load to test positive. It was intended to keep people out of hospitals and morgues when used alongside all the other tools, masking, distance, air quality etc.

The vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths I believe are still unvaxxed. So where the danger comes, is they put such a burden on the healthcare system that a vaxxed person needing ER or ICU care may end up dying because there is not enough nurses, doctors and resources to cover it all.

That's what I understand the current situation to be ....
