New Data From the CDC Makes Mask Mandates for the Vaccinated Look Absolutely Foolish
Red State ^ | 04/01/2021 | Scott Hounsell

If you’re like me, you’re tired of the left’s constant call to “science” while they continue to ignore the wealth of data and evidence that their COVID-19 restrictions are not only unnecessary but, in some cases, more detrimental in their effect than had they done nothing. This follows my piece from a few days ago, where I showed we knew the target population a year ago derived from the data from the Diamond Princess.

Now, it appears that Joe Biden’s begging for the continuance for mask mandates for the vaccinated, but this is counter to the data and evidence coming from his own CDC officials.

From NYMag:

After warning for months that vaccinated people should still be cautious in order to not infect others, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests they may not be at much risk of transmitting the coronavirus.

“Vaccinated people do not carry the virus — they don’t get sick,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. That’s “not just in the clinical trials, but it’s also in real-world data.”

Walensky was referring to a new CDC study that suggests those fully inoculated with the vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer don’t transmit the virus. Researchers looked at how the shots protected nearly 4,000 health-care workers, first responders, and other essential workers toiling in eight U.S. locations against the virus and more-contagious variants. Following a single dose of either vaccine, the participants’ risk of infection was reduced by 80 percent, and that figure jumped to 90 percent after the second dose. Without infection, people are unable to spread the virus. The results are similar to what scientists saw in clinical trials for the vaccines, which found that two doses of either two-dose vaccine had an efficacy rate of around 95 percent.
In other words, not only are fully vaccinated people essentially incapable of getting the virus, but they are also incapable of transmitting it, making mandates restricting their travel, participation in group events, or demanding they wear masks, completely unnecessary and superficial. Our slippery slide into further government control has ironically, slid further away from fact and scientific evidence. At this point, vaccinated individuals should have zero restrictions. Not only would this increase willingness to receive the vaccine, but would increase economic opportunities as more and more people receive the vaccine.

A few weeks ago, the President tweeted this:

What is so funny about this, is according to the CDC’s own data, neither Biden nor Harris could give the other the virus, let alone contract it in the first place. That doesn’t stop Biden from continuing his flat-out stupid mask-mandate howls.

Vaccinated?

How about the previously infected? That’s a much stronger immune response.

RE: How about the previously infected? That’s a much stronger immune response.

Has there been a study as to how long immunity lasts for those previously infected vs those who have been vaccinated?

Mask mandates for ANYONE are foolish, anti-American, unscientific, and utterly moronic.

Trump’s biggest mistake was putting Fauci in the forefront of his Coronavirus task force.

Now it’s too late. Trump is not in office while Fauci is still there with Biden still listening to him.

Which provides support for his vaccine passport, and the lack of which reveals to them who is a "domestic terrorist" or not. Yet if having recovered from Covid equates to having been vaccinated, then one should not need a vaccine passport. Related: 2% of people carry [transmit] 90% of COVID-19 virus. And T cells induced by COVID-19 infection respond to new virus variants -U.S. study

What really gets me is seeing people alone in their cars wearing masks. I have also seen people in wilderness areas alone wearing masks. Are these people stupid or what? The am very tempted to ask them why they are wearing them.

The five northern-most counties in Idaho have had 282 COVID-related deaths. ALL BUT TEN WERE OVER 60. Out of a total population of 280,000, ten people under 60 died! That number is astonishing.

Let the over-60 crowd take the necessary measures to protect themselves and let the rest of the country get back to normal (we never should have done these insane measures in the first place).

Full disclosure — I turn 70 in July, I started the full vitamin and mineral supplement regime about nine months ago, and I got Moderna #2 ten days ago.

yes brother, as they say hindsight is 20/20. but, it’s so sad, the hard data was available from a few places (as in the article) early on (hint: not the CDC or “experts” or “models”)...but to see it clearly, you had to get by the fear. “Fear is the mind killer.” as Frank Herbert wrote in Dune: i’m paraphrasing what he said here: You have to face it, let it flow through you and (most importantly) turn and follow it to it’s source. (and take out the source, my comment).

in other words, you got to ride the tiger or it will surely ride you.

Any side effects at all?

If the vaccine is now so good after all, then why should I have to wear a mask and *socially distance* (spit)?

I’m no threat to someone who is vaccinated and for those who choose not to be, they are willing to take the same alleged risk I am.

And what about the shot passports?

If the shot works, why the need to prove to anyone that someone got it?

Jewbacca, I have the same question as SeekAndFind.

And what about people that had it a year ago, but there weren’t any tests for it then?

Can antibody tests detect an infection from a year ago?
