MICHIGAN GOVERNOR WHITMER SAYS A VACCINE IS NEEDED BEFORE FILLING STADIUMS
Newsweak ^ | 5/16/20 | James Crowley

Posted on 05/16/2020 8:15:09 AM PDT by Libloather

During a COVID-19 update on Friday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer reiterated that sports fans won't be able to fill stadiums until a vaccine is available.

In the Friday press conference, Whitmer responded to a reporter's question about what conditions she thought that professional and college sports would be able to return to Michigan.

"I think that we're going to be in a new normal for quite a while," Whitmer said. "We need a vaccine, and we need to have mask quantities available or we need to be able to test and acknowledge that we've got some immunity that's built up. We're not there yet."

**SNIP**

In a statement given to Newsweek, the governor's press secretary, Tiffany Brown, said that stadium reopenings will depend on data and medical experts. "Medical experts have made it clear that COVID-19 spreads when people are in close contact with one another, and without a vaccine, our best strategy in combating the virus is to practice social distancing. In regards to stadiums, our administration will continue to make informed decisions on re-engagement based upon data and medical expertise," she said.

It’s a virus.

Vaccines are not a silver bullet.
At best, the success outcome of a vaccine is coin flip

Well given how the other coronaviruses (influenza) are stuck with us even though we get a good portion of the population vaccinated against them, that sounds like a real possibility.

Vaccines are meant to simulate the body getting sick and recovering so that it has exposure in the immune system. I would wonder how many people would have a meltdown over the truth that the smallpox vaccine still didn’t stop plenty of people from dying of smallpox, although the overall fatality was arguably less likely.

Smallpox vaccine killed some people, but herd immunity was the argument so that less people would die.

Hard no on that statement Mr. Tyler.

Maybe you're thinking of the flu vaccine, but for other diseases, vaccines kick ass.

You could force everyone to take an antibody test. Because that’s now the new thing to make sure that a vaccine hasn’t worn off yet.

I’d lay money that the NFL will start their season in the fall. I somehow have more faith in the hapless Lions than in that lady from Michigan.

Actually, the smallpox vaccine would make snowflakes melt down in terror because you could still get smallpox and die with full vaccination, but it was better for the needs of the many since it was less likely.
