The 60 minutes piece was pure politics, nothing to do with the virus. It was a preemptive strike by the Democrats and their media allies on a popular and probable 2024 presidential contender.

Breaking from the Tims: Experts are now saying "US Unlikely to Reach Herd Immunity"

Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe (Published 2021)
Widely circulating coronavirus variants and persistent hesitancy about vaccines will keep the goal out of reach. The virus is here to stay, but vaccinating the most vulnerable may be enough to restore normalcy.www.nytimes.com
Correct. I told you that months ago. We will not reach complete herd immunity, but we don't need to to move on.
NJ removing pretty much all restrictions outside of 6ft distance on May 19th which is reasonable as the drop in demand for vaccinations means we have vaccinated those who want to be vaccinated.
It is still dangerous for someI went out to eat this weekend. Aside from the staff wearing masks, it actually felt normal. It seems like many restaurants aren't even following the silly capacity restrictions to begin with. Glad they are officially ending soon.
Most people seem to be over and done with covid except for truly paranoid and hysterical.
When will 6 ft distance and mask wearing be eliminated since you are such the expert? Some small diners /restaurants in know can only operate at 50% with indoor dining and keep social distancing in play.

No mask wearing for wearing in schools? I wasn't aware of that. I asked when 6 ft distance and mask wearing will be eliminatedHe said when the CDC revises down, NJ will follow. Should happen relatively soon as it already has for schools.
I have been to a few indoor resturaunts and while tables are further apart than they were before this, it's hasn't seemed nearly as drastic as I would have thought. Things seemed fairly normal.

Schools in my district are still open for about a half day (a shade more), not full-time. Distancing and apparently not being able to “handle” lunch is the reason for that.Was talking about the 6ft rule.
Obviously none of us know on masks. Already said I expect in July.

My kids also get out at 12:30 everyday due to not being able to figure out lunch, not sure we will get back full time this year, as of now plan is September.Schools in my district are still open for about a half day (a shade more), not full-time.

We've only been "teased" about the full day so far, with nothing firm committed. Our best guess is they throw a full-day week or two as we get closer to year-end, to appease parents, and to create the perception that come September it will be full-day all-the-time (to prevent further enrollment out of our public schools and into local catholic/private schools that have generally been full day, most days, since last September). They did this last summer, creating the expectation that full-day would be back by October -- what fools we were to believe that. The "not being able to figure out lunch" excuse is even more amusing.Same as me. Back to full day on May 17th.
That is true but now that they have a vaccine available, they can get vaccinated if they are concerned.

I am a lunatic for simply staying home because I don't want my high risk family members to become infected with this terrible disease? Got it. Stay classy. I will continue to stay home until the end of this pandemic.and/or stay home, like our resident lunatic.

What was your experience with the Janssen vaccine? Any side effects? If I ever get the vaccine I will probably get the Janssen. I do not trust the mrna vaccines because of the long term effects they could cause.
What long term effects could they cause? Why is Janssen's vaccine less likely to cause long term effects? Since your last science class was HS Biology in 1995, can you please elaborate on the long term effects you foresee?
MRna. That's your answer. Janssen is not mrna
That’s the point. We don’t know the long term effects of utilizing mRNA technology in vaccines.mRNA isn't an answer. What long-term effects has mRNA had on people? Are you aware that you have mRNA in you now? Are you aware that studies showed Janssen to be less effective than the mRNA vaccines?

We don't know the long term effects of Jannsen either. Moderna and Pfizer's vaccine's have been MORE effective in preventing death and hospitalizations.Hi @donnie_baseball. We don't know the long term effects. That's the very concerning part. Janssen has been proven to be effective in preventing death and hospitalizations. That's the most important part.
I will let you know in 24 hoursWhat was your experience with the Janssen vaccine? Any side effects? If I ever get the vaccine I will probably get the Janssen. I do not trust the mrna vaccines because of the long term effects they could cause.
Got it. I thought you meant you got it last Wednesday. Thank youI will let you know in 24 hours

Yet there is a snack time, I understandMy kids also get out at 12:30 everyday due to not being able to figure out lunch, not sure we will get back full time this year, as of now plan is September.
The delivery technology is different. It has never been used in vaccines. The clinical studies for all three were not done in completely parallel situations, so I would discount which is MORE effective. I don't tell anyone if and what to take.We don't know the long term effects of Jannsen either. Moderna and Pfizer's vaccine's have been MORE effective in preventing death and hospitalizations.
Correct. And catholic schools among others have figured out how to deal with this along ago. But someone it is still a blockade in my district and elsewhere.Yet there is a snack time, I understand
Yup.Correct. And catholic schools among others have figured out how to deal with this along ago. But someone it is still a blockade in my district and elsewhere.

I don't either, but if nutsy is going to choose one EUA vaccine over another because of fear of "long term effects," there at least should be some solid reasoning. But I didn't expect that from a bot.The delivery technology is different. It has never been used in vaccines.
