Fond memories of the days this was the sole domain of paranoid conspiracy theorists. Now, at the exact same moment that we are getting evidence of the mRNA vaccines' rapidly waning efficacy[1] and ineffectiveness at reducing transmission of the Delta variant, the screws are being tightened and the unvaccinated are being scapegoated. Never mind that this variant arose in India where there was never any possibility of the entire population being vaccinated all at once.
If the vaccines work, why are we talking about vaccine passports and domestic travel bans? If the vaccines don't work, why are we talking about vaccine passports and domestic travel bans?
Also worth noting, this is de facto racial segregation, because blacks and Hispanics are by far the highest population of unvaccinated in NYC. Funny how a lifetime of having your health and well-being actively ignored and sabotaged by public officials raises doubts when they suddenly show up with shiny new injections and start pushing them with lotteries, free ice cream and donuts, and all the rest.

- grammarprofess 5y agoThose are very good points. Totally agree, the vast majority of people are gonna be careful and display caution staying at home etc.. I think covid vaccines should be compelling by their efficacity and safety. This is all so stringent for something so rightly divisive

- AndrewBissell 5y agoThe links to the primary sources are all right there on the page. I'm not going to go hunting for some other compilation of the same data because you went clicking through the entire site until you found something which contradicted a not-very-convincing Politico "fact check" article. Especially not after Politico had to withdraw their earlier fact check -- chock full of quotes from "the experts" -- about how Covid couldn't possibly have come from a lab.
