Just had my two shots:
Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.
Feel pretty good.

Where I see an issue is that non-vaccinated people might opt to not get vaccinated, and will probably stop masking and basically blend in with fully vaccinated people. But without those protections, this may lead to more infections in that particular peer group. I'm also wondering if businesses will change their masking policies because there is at least 50% of the population that has not been vaccinated.
I agree they will just blend in, I hope the stores stay with the mask requirementUnless I'm not reading something correctly, yesterday's announcement is intended for fully vaxed people, and is based on the latest studies that not only show they have a higher resistance to the virus than previously expected.... but also have a lower chance than expected of being a carrier and spreading the virus. Basically this is the reward for the people that did follow the recommendations. Nothing has really changed for non-vaccinated people. And in fact it looks like the situation has the potential to get worse for them.

And that right there is exactly why I don't believe a word that the CDC say, how can things change so drastically overnight.... It's all a bunch of B.S. Sure people got sick and died but it was being so blown out of proportion to fit their agenda that people should hang for it. There are experts that have NOTHING to gain over this that say if fact that covid only killed 20% of what is being reported in the US and combined with the number of deaths due to other heath issues and season illnesses that covid was about as deadly as the season flu.
My wife, mother, father, and at least 10 other people I know also had it. I had it worse than anyone that I know. And still have some lung issues but nothing life threatening.This is wrong. Completely off base. I had Covid and luckily recovered. Comparing it to the flu is like comparing a McDonalds hamburger to a perfectly cooked brisket. Yeah they both come from a cow but that's where it ends.

I know covid is real, but in most cases it is nothing to worry about as long as you are a healthy person.
This has been more about control than anything else since day one.
Yes, I can attest to this. I have not even had a sore throat or the sniffles in 15 months..... or other cold and flu symptoms.The only thing I've heard that associates Covid-19 with the FLU, is that they said most years over 200,000 Americans come down with the FLU, but this past year it was only about 3,000, due to the Masking, Social Distancing, and washing hands to avoid Covid. Too bad it didn't work quite as good with Covid.

I may have said a few months ago, but I usually get real bad colds with congestion 2-3 times every year like clockwork. I've only had this 1 time in the last 18 months. I got a Flu shot in November 2019, first one in 20 years. Then Covid hits in March, etc. The 1 time being sick was this March, early in the month. I thought for sure I had Covid, but I got 2 tests, and both negative. Doctor treated me for a cold, better in 4 days.Yes, I can attest to this.

Humans are supposed to be intelligent and adaptable. So let's learn from our little skirmish with this virus. A little social distancing isn't a bad idea. When in crowded subways, a mask may not be a bad idea. A little more intelligence in how we ventilate public buildings, and the filtration we use in doing it, isn't a bad idea--conserving energy is important, but it's not the only important thing...so is public health. And the new technologies that went into developing the vaccines...well they include a lot of new and good ideas. We'd be wise to ALL expect regular vaccination with state-of-the-art products to be as important to good health as nutrition and exercise....I have not even had a sore throat or the sniffles in 15 months..... or other cold and flu symptoms.
