I am done with this shit. I got my vaccine and I am not going back to shutdowns and mask mandates. I simply am not going to do it and the government can fuck off. This is not the bubonic plague, it's not the Spanish Flu, it's about controlling the shit out of people now that they know they can. If people want to be hermits or wear 6 masks while they are alone in their car, they can knock themselves out. I am going back to living my life. I know that is not poetic, it is just the facts.

I, and my entire family, were vaccinated fully understanding that it was never going to prevent getting or spreading the disease.

My only question is if it is still effective against a severe/life threating case of it?

All the focus on vaccinated people getting the disease is a distraction imo.

As my mom came down with Cancer last year and now is in remission I have been watching this closely and Signs appear to point to yes still at least with Delta variant.

Can we just let this thread die? Also, can we just let nature run it's course? COVID isn't going anywhere.

When so many are still getting sick and dying there is a need for non-political information for most Americans to be safe. Lives are at high risk. The economy and peoples families are at risk. Everyone has "covid fatigue" at this point but we have to learn how to live through this for now.
It's just common sense. Doing the things that keep us healthy are how we help our familiea. Our loved ones. It helps feed and house our families. All who we care about.

Tolerance for risk is what separates successful from unsuccessful people.

Yeah, that's an overly simplistic crock of shit, man. It also separates alive people from dead people sometimes. Dumbfucks doing wheelies on their motorcycle down the highway sure have a high tolerance for risk, but they don't look particularly successful being scraped off the pavement. :lol:

Risk is a necessary part of life, but being too risky is just as stupid as being too cautious.

Your example proves my point. Risk assessment involves a reward balance/counter. Thrill seeking is about as anti-risk/reward proposition as it gets.

Ah, you said "risk tolerance" not "risk assessment" so that's what I was responding to. Lots of dumbfucks have high risk tolerance but suck at risk assessment -- and they suck at life most of the time. I 100% agree that those who can appropriately assess risk are generally going to be more successful than those who cannot. Can we agree that being risky with little to no reward is generally bad for success?

Well, of course we can. How can we not, when oversimplification is my modus operandi?
