Keep your gold stars and help out your fellow man by dispelling inaccurate statements from folks that respect your opinion.
I have no horse in this race, but you couldn’t be more wrong.
I'll make it easier.
Lets say we took a car ride to the game, and I was in contact with someone who was infected previously. Me being vaccinated means that there is less of a chance that I would pass the virus on to you.
I never said that.
I have even said you have the most industry knowledge of anyone on this board previously.
Regardless of my opinion though, the point is that shu09 trusts you in regards to healthcare
I thought this was patently obvious but apparently not to you. If I am vaccinated, there is 93% chance that I will not be infected by the virus and thus infecting your non-vaccinated person. The more people are vaccinated helps you exponentially.
Being in healthcare and in public health are not the same.
Sorry but there is no way he is in public health and that is what he eluded to in a previous post.
Somebody that deals with public health would be more passionate than me with promoting messages that promote good public health.
For instance, I’m in healthcare working closely with public health officials but I am not considered public health myself.
Not healthcare expert, he said public health, big subset of healthcare.
the health of the population as a whole, especially as the subject of government regulation and support.
"chlorine has been used to disinfect water supplies to protect public health"
the branch of medicine dealing with public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, and disease prevention.
"these diseases are of great interest in the field of public health"

Vaccinated people can still carry and transmit the virus. It has been proven. The vaccine lessens the severity of your illness if you happen to develop symptoms.
I don't mind different takes. If you have an opinion differing from mine, that is fine.
Believing that vaccines do not reduce transmission and only help the people who get vaccinated is not a "different take" though. It is just entirely wrong.
It's how we got rid of Polio, measles... etc...
It vastly reduces the chances of that ever happening. So how doesn't that help? Moreover, the more people who are vaccinated keep helping people like you. You on the other hand do not help another at all.
I don't ask for help from people when it comes to this. Couldn't care less if they do or don't. I can handle my own affairs.
2 + 2 = 5. It’s not different. It’s wrong.
Public health? 💯 % you are not.
Expert in leading the less educated to make bad healthcare decisions…possibility.
well, bring up my profession (again, childish behavior from you).. when one of my clients has an error on their financial statements, I tell them there is an error. I don’t tell them that I feel differently. Some things things are black and white.
Sometimes, there is nuance but this is not one of those times.
You would care if NJ’s vaccination rate was the same as Florida’s though because our hospitals would be filling up again and Murphy (right or wrong) would be shutting the state down again.
It’s fine you have assessed your risks and chose against it, but it’s also true that you’re lucky you live in an area where enough people chose community protection.
Do you have a brother named Bobbie? Asking for a friend…
I don't believe my views would be any different in Florida. Heck, I wish Ron DeSantis was our governor (and maybe president in Jan. 2025).
Boo hoo
the issue was masking, at least the issue I stepped into at this point
nobody has given me anything to support the concept that masking kids that are 8 years old is the answer in lieu of a shutdown (if things get worse)
I also talked to my general doctor virtually today and we made the tough decision for me to continue to shelter in place for the next two months because of Delta. I just cannot risk bringing home the virus to people that are at high risk in my household. My doctor thinks Delta will peak quickly in NJ on September.
@Merge @King of S 750 covid related hospitalizations in NJ. My doctor friend has told me there is a spike in fully vaccinated people being hospitalized with covid. Governor Murphy mentioned that on Monday.
www.nj.com
N.J. reports 1,697 COVID cases, 8 deaths. More than 750 patients hospitalized for first time in 3 months.
New Jersey's seven-day average for newly confirmed COVID-19 cases increased to 1,354. That’s up 27% from a week ago and more than five times higher than a month ago
This thread and entire board has to be the product of extremely committed performance artists.
I'm definitely Truman in this show. I refuse to believe people can argue this much and this long the same things unless all sides are in on it.
For any men reading this who are not vaccinated recent studies show that the enzyme ACE 2 which is found in large amounts in men’s testicals can make covid much worse.So if you need another reason to get vaccinated DO IT FOR THE BOYS.
Why? We are in a worldwide pandemic. And people on this board were telling me I would be be wrong on this stuff. But I have been right most of the time.
I live by the rule that most people are put on this earth purely for my entertainment....
Is this an inside joke that you tell your public health imposter friends or something?

Here's why herd immunity from Covid is 'mythical' with the delta variant
Achieving herd immunity with Covid vaccines when the highly infectious delta variant is spreading is likely to be impossible, leading experts say.
