The USA is not Canada or India or Malaysia, etc. Every place has its own unique situation re covid. It's not a one size fits all, we can all just copy cat what the USA is doing, and everything will work out fine (hunky dory). "The CDC’s new mask guidelines could actually increase risk of...

Yes, getting vaccinated is the thing to do, as it results in greater safety for oneself & others one is around. But since being vaccinated doesn't make one 100% safe, & there may still be significant risks in some situations, continued use of masks & social distancing can be useful.

A vaccinated person can get infected & pass that infection on to hundreds of others who then may infect thousands more & so on. A vaccinated person can get infected with covid & die from covid. A vaccinated person can get infected with covid & suffer "long covid", illness that puts them in bed...

99% survivable means you die 1 in 100 times. Who's foolish enough to play that sort of Russian Roulette with their life? Besides which "long covid" is another issue. Personally, i'd rather not even become infected, sickly for a week or two, bedridden, hospitalized, in ICU, or on a ventilator...

But the experience of these last six months showed Canadians how fickle global vaccination can be. Some countries — like the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel — enjoyed advantages that were not easily replicated. Canada's supply was briefly impaired because a factory in Belgium was...

He said "there were going to be 2 million deaths in the US." OR he estimated at the time that it looked that way? Better to overestimate & have people being safe as a result than to speak like Trump that it was going to go away in a few days (but months later almost 600K Americans are dead *)...

Probably no SPs for me until at least there is some kind of restored normalcy, e.g. international travel, or herd immunity, etc.

I'd have a lot more faith in the CDC than the covidiots infesting online forums. Better yet to consider multiple highly esteemed health agencies, scientific studies, expert opinions, as well as your own common sense, logic, reason, etc.
