Biden will not expand vaxx mandates, but he will tighten mask rules

[DaleCooper]

I am glad to see that he is only extending the mask mandate through this winter until March 18.  After which, it should expire for good. 

If the mask mandate stays expired for more than a couple months after March 18, I'll watch Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

People who have been fully vaccinated and who have had a booster shot should not have to wear masks for any reason.

Hold on now, what about those evil under-vaccinated people who only took two shots. Are they now under the same rules as the even eviler unvaccinated?

The new "moderate" position on pandemic regulations will be that you can get back to life as normal so long as you have had the most recent booster shot. Soon "anti-vax" will refer to people who haven't gotten their 4th booster shots.

Lmao what bull**it. Get over your paranoia soon please.

I'm right and I'll be proven right.

Yeah, Nebraska avatars never get Covid right, this isn’t a new pattern. It’s not your fault, must be something in the corn.

When do you think that they'll finally stop moving the goalposts on when life can return to normal? And why do you think it will stop at a certain booster shot or at a certain milestone?

If there is a legitimate need for 4th boosters (thanks to new variants spawned by the totally unvaccinated) and some people refuse, they want exactly be the same thing as "anti-vax" but they'll be bad human beings. Not as deplorable as the people with 0 vaccines, but still not good.

Hopefully that won't ever happen.

The problem is that the definition of "legitimate need" will be something along the lines of 90% asymptomatic with the 4th booster or 87% asymptomatic without the fourth booster (and 99% nonfatal in both).

Obviously if a new variant is spawned (this can happen in a vaccinated person too, or a bat, or any other animal that can contract COVID) and it has a fatality rate of 1-2% again, then that's a much different story and it'll obviously call for new vaccines. But that's not the standard that the alarmists have when it comes to new regulations or boosters.

"A “large majority” of 62 passengers on two flights from South Africa who tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after arrival in the Netherlands on Nov. 26 had been vaccinated, Dutch authorities said on Thursday."

Vaccines that don't prevent transmission, but we need vaccine passports in public spaces to protect the vaccinated from... something.

Hint:  Its not about the virus.

What do you personally think it is about? Mass surveillance? I’m not asking to mock, I’m genuinely curious.

Power and control, like most things in life.  Bureaucrats, politicians, and even the general public are all guilty of it.  "You're not going to take the shot even though we demand it?  Okay, then you lose your right to go out."

The public was sold on a vaccine that would end the pandemic.  When it turned out to not be true, naturally they look for a whipping boy.  It has to be somebodys fault.  Politicians are more than happy to oblige and point them in the right direction.

The pandemic would be over if we had a 100% vaccination rate. Thanks primarily to conservatives, we won't ever get to 100%.

Such a ridiculous statement.  No, it would not be over.  It spreads quite easily within fully vaccinated persons.  At any rate, there was never any expectation that literally "100%" of the population would be vaccinated at any point in time, so you lamenting it is just trolling.  Some people can't get it to due medical exemptions.  To top it all off, the vaccine is so ineffective after 6 months that it needs a booster.  Good luck revaccinating 100% of the population every 6 months indefinitely.  Its just laughable.

This is only the case if you're judging the pandemic based purely on the number of cases the way the alarmists do. All three provide enough protection to make COVID-19 essentially like the flu, which is fine. There's nothing to fear in getting COVID at some point in the future if the death rate has been reduced to well below .01%. Like with the flu shots, elderly people and anyone who wants to avoid getting sick may choose to get them every year, but there's no reason to force it on the rest of us.
