Why would I afraid of hanging out in close proximity with unvaccinated individual if I'm vaccinated ?
- armada651 5y agoThere are more severe breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals than there are deadly outcomes to getting vaccinated. Also there's the risk that even a mild case has long term side effects. Since the number of deadly outcomes or side effects to the vaccine is so low the breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals become significant when you compare the risks.
- throwawayboise 5y agoThis just feeds the beliefs that some people have that the vaccines don't really work. We should be strongly demonstrating that the vaccinated do not need to wear masks, distance, etc so that there are clear benefits to being vaccinated. If the vaccines reduce the disease to nothing more severe than a cold or mild flu, we should be back to the same daily routines we had when those things were an ordinary risk at the workplace.
- armada651 5y agoIn my opinion pretending the vaccine is 100% effective and carries 0 risk has done more to shake public confidence than informing people about the risks no matter how small. In the information age it has become easier than ever to find contradicting data and there will always be contradicting data. Besides, most people have enough life experience to intuitively know that there's no certainty in life. Being honest with people will do more to gain their trust than enhancing the truth for their own well-being.
- matz1 5y agoObviously there never be 0 risk. Anything in life has risk. I'm driving to park carry a risk. I'm drinking the two bottle of beer carry a risk. Would I afraid ? No
- armada651 5y agoSure, anything has risk, but which risk should the employer mandate?
- matz1 5y agoObviously I would prefer employer to not mandate anything regarding vaccine. I work from home but manage small sports club. I would never ask anyone for their vaccination status nor requiring them to be vaccinated to join.
- armada651 5y agoThat's your own preference, but what I'm arguing is that both options carry risk. And based on what we know right now the risk for mandating everyone to go back to the office without a vaccine mandate is riskier, for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, than mandating that everyone get vaccinated.
