Getting infected with Delta after full vaccination means you are VERY unlikely to get sick enough to wind up in the hospital, and incredibly unlikely to die from it. We also know that natural immunity from getting Covid is not as strong nor long-lasting as the immunity from vaccination. Also, being vaccinated means your window for transmitting the virus to others is shorter. I'm glad you're ok. You are absolutely correct. I was just feeling some kinda way. I was the one that got all of my groceries delivered, rarely went in public and wholeheartedly endorsed the wearing of a mask. I was excited for the vaccine. Then guess who gets sick☹️ The vaccine did decrease and minimize some symptoms. I still feel like a leper though. This too shall pass. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In many places the number of Delta infections is equal among both the vaccinated and un-vaccinated. In the Massachusetts outbreak, 75% were vaccinated. Then there is Lambda variant emerging. Shut downs are imminent. Australia, a nation of 25 million has been totally shut down for 200 days, despite averaging only 300-400 cases per day. They are building "quarantine camps" for the un-vaccinated as we speak. The proper "language" is circulating through the medical community. I have this week spoken to several people who are fully vaccinated but have been told to wear masks because of "the multiple variant factor" -2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a false claim! You should really fact check such nonsense before posting it. Also, most vaccinated people do not have a problem wearing masks, because they do understand they can still spread many things, not just covid, to the children who can't be vaccinated yet. Children are now our greatest concern now, get the fing vaccine! Fact check AC : https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-968025651816 OH and how is this about women advertising their vaccine status.

It is the rabid anti-vaxer and anti-mask states - Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, Mississippi - where the outbreaks are major and it is mainly among the unvaccinated. That is the reality no matter how hard GOP and enabler media spin it and no matter how many lies they float. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One other thing Caressa, I might suggest that YOU do some fact checking. The link you posted talks about rumors of quarantine camps IN THE US...NOT Australia.

I will tell my friends in Australia that they are liars and what they see is a mirage. I will pass along your link and explain to them that the media is the source of truth and the only source of truth. Since people seem to disagree about which media sources are always truthful and which ones are not, would you be so kind as to post a brief list of perhaps 5 or 6 media sources where the truth always lives?

That is the reality no matter how hard GOP and enabler media spin it and no matter how many lies they float. I'm not going to get into a big thing over this and here is why. All people who say "post proof of this claim" have one thing in common.They simply dismiss every source that disagrees with their position as "not credible"...even if they have used it themselves before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are not the only one with friends down under. Here is an amazing notice from the "Australian Sex Workers Association" on where to get their vaccine though.

Posted August 18, 2021 https://www.aa.com.tr/en/latest-on-coronavirus-outbreak/unvaccinated-people-in-australia-to-face-harsher-restrictions/2317860 https://www.vic.gov.au/victorian-quarantine-hub Above are 2 news reputable sources published on July 29th regarding Australia and Covid. They are not building unvaccinated concentration camps in Australia. There was a false rumor back in March 2020 about that. In Victoria, they do have or will have a quarantine hub for people coming into Victoria. These hubs are being considered elsewhere I understand. If anyone claims that Australia is building concentration camps for unvaccinated, documented proof (from the Australian government of reputable news sources) should be posted. Otherwise, stating this is disinformation and FUD. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to stay on topic, I similarly don't care one way or the other if a lady is vaccinated if I am interested. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 18, 2021 Wow...... so sad during a time where camaraderie is needed. Let's just do our part, respect others comfort zones, and move along the best we can based on what we know and understand. It's obvious that the Government, CDC, and us are still learning what we need to know. Now is not really the time for negativity and disrespect. Sometimes it's ok to disagree, and jut move along. I'm sending BIG HUGS to ALL of My TOB PEEPS!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
