No people like that deserve to be bullied.

i think you should have been more of an asshole, personally

You could dial up the asshole by 150% and still be completely justified, my anomalously patient comrade.

you should bully your brother harder next time

tell him the CPC will win

no you’d be entirely justified in doing far more, up to and including murder

he is a dumbass

DIRCDC Walensky states:

And we have – we can kind of almost see the end. We’re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.

ok did they ever actually say it would stop transmission though?

they definitely dangled the “carrot” of dropping mask mandates for vaccinated people. Which was counter productive.

If not said outright, certainly implied. The beginning of the lockdown was presented to us as this big united front akin to a war that we would get through no matter how long it took to get a vaccine (with the scientists saying it would take 2 possibly 3 years done properly) and that covid was going to be eradicated and within a matter of weeks the consent manufacturing machine was totally revved up and the goal posts kept getting moved and restrictions undone and just fucking shit, bleagh. I’m in Florida and I’ve just been watching the rest of the country doing what we were doing on a delay and I am thoroughly :marx-joker:

I don’t think the CDC said anything but President Biden said it at least once.

I had someone today talk to me about this, that vaccines don’t do anything to stop transmission. Maybe getting a vaccine to stop the disease from being so severe stops lethality because you get over the disease more quickly? Maybe you have less time to transmit covid if your antibodies take care of it in… I don’t have the data, say 3 days instead of 2 weeks? Doesn’t that mean less transmission inherently if less people have covid for long periods of time?
