"Thus, we must avoid reinfections. Becoming vaccinated and boosted, along with masking, social distancing, and avoiding poorly ventilated venues, are public health strategies that need to be used. "
Last I read, vaccinations don't prevent or reduce infections, masking doesn't work, and social distancing was based on a 1930s experiment with aerosols or something.
Avoiding poorly ventilated venues (like private jets) is something I think is still supportable though.
This whole article reads like a false flag attack from anti-vaxxers.
- salawat 4y agoOkay.. look. Jet aircraft are the opposite of poorly ventilated. The air in the damn thing is recycled every two minutes from the combined inflow of turbine bleed air and outflow of the air to maintain a comfortable operating pressurization. Strictly speaking, there are reasons to talk about decreasing excessive, frivolous air travel. Poor ventilation is not one of them. By a long shot.
- bluenomatterwho 4y agoDon't come in here reading or thinking or "doing your own research." We're here to comply and Follow The Science. Like the article says, covid denial like this lowers your IQ, makes you bad at underwater basket weaving, as well as personally responsible for the rise in mass shootings. Besides, false flags are just a conspiracy theory and the government never lies.
- bluenomatterwho 4y agoYou know, I said from the start: if the messaging around the pandemic actually matched reality, if cars were sliding off roads like a Hollywood movie (and this article tacitly suggests) you wouldn't have to work so hard to convince people to isolate, etc. Even then, as we knew and now know, masking and staying indoors would only do so much. But it wasn't that way, and we all know it. "Bad at underwater basket weaving" is how this article reads. It jumps the shark. It asks questions because it could hardly make an assertion like this.
- adwi 4y agoI can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not, re: “vaccinations don’t prevent or reduce infections” > Effectiveness [at preventing infection] remained above 95% regardless of age group, sex, race, or presence of comorbidities. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M21-1577 https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M21-1577
- klyrs 4y agoIt's a common antivax meme to round 95% down to 0%. But even if it didn't reduce infection, the real selling point for me is that they reduce the severity of infection. I have had covid, I will probably get covid again. Reducing the amount of brain damage from all sources is pretty high on my priority list.
- ifyoubuildit 4y agoHave you looked at anything more recent than October of 2021? You might find that your understanding is a little out of date.
- tjansen 4y agoThat's from October '21. Vaccines were new back then. They worked well initially, but over time the protection vanishes.
