1: Vaccinated people are much less likely to get covid than the unvaccinated
There are enough unvaccinated people out there, the Delta has a very high transmission rate [yep, fucking trans again]
More than 70% fully vaccinated and yet less than 30% are responsible? Who will the 4 times vaccinated blame for the 5th wave, the 3 times vaccinated?
Yes. That's why the new mandates are in place and why they're pushing for the 30% to be vaccinated. Covid transmission and hospitalizations among the unvaxxed are significantly higher, even though they make up less of the population. 30% of the population is a little over 4M people, which is still a lot.
This is not entirely true. There is such a thing as natural immunity. Something I learned quite a bit about in Virology class at UofT. However, it's something for some reason being ignored by the so-called experts. Technically those unvaccinated people who've got covid-19 and recovered have developed natural antibodies. You can actually get a SARS-CoV-2 antibody test at a private lab like DynaCare and your results will show you have antibodies not due to vaccine. So first of all these vaccine apps should also recognize those with such proof as amongst the "vaccinated". However, the only distinctions they make is vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated, and that is wrong. Second of all you make two incorrect assumptions:
Something to keep in mind also is the fact that you can't make any money on natural immunity.
You really expect me to go through the footage of the major news channels looking at a bunch of videos to hunt down a quote which based on what I've seen on terb in general you will just ignore, not understand or dismiss if you will even watch the bloody thing?
What you say or what Isaac Bogash says is true. Afterall, that's the point of having vaccines.
From what I remember delta has been around here since May and even back then they claimed it was the deadliest most contagious variant. Can you explain to me why did our government decide with such information to reopen everything starting in mid-June? You may say vaccination numbers reached what they had wanted which was at first 65% which changed to 70% then 80% and I heard 90% just a week or two ago. However, no one knew if the vaccines were really effective against delta and so we have this new variant with extremely high transmission and yet number of cases kept dropping for 2 months. Was delta sleeping? How is it that only in mid-August cases started to slowly rise just as we approached the school year and fall? Does it make sense to you that the most contagious variant was dormant while everything and I mean everything reopened from bars to clubs to casinos you name it and cases kept dropping from mid-June to mid-August. That some mystery to me.
As for why the government does anything, I donno. They have people coming at them from all sides.
Considering how 20ish% of cases are coming from the 70%ish of the population and how the 15% who are unvaccinated have a large lions share of cases, I would think
It makes a lot of sense and the numbers bear out that the vaccine is working. I am positive they are working on a new improved version but this takes time. They can't give the dumbass anti-vaxxers ammunition to jump and down saying it's rushed, it's rushed.
You still have to show id with QR code. The picture id is to verify you are who you say you are.No, you won't. That's the point of the QR code - privacy without having to double ID. Makes it a lot faster at, say, a Raptors game - scan ticket, scan QR (of course, for people with both on their phones, there will inevitably be delays caused by people who don't have both ready and can't readily flip between the two).
But, yes, it would be quite easy to fake, even without the phone. For people without phones, you can print the sheet with the QR code, so I could get my vaccinated buddy to print his and just flash that for the spa to scan.
And if none of your vaccinated friends will do that, you could always print your SO's and use that
