For almost two years, COVID-19 vaccine holdouts have been the objects of earnest pleading and financial inducements, of social-media shaming and truth campaigns. They’ve missed weddings, birthday celebrations and recitals, and even forfeited high-stakes athletic competitions. Until last month, they were barred from entering the United States and more than 100 other countries.
Now the unvaccinated are suddenly back in the mix. They’re dining in restaurants, rocking out at music festivals and filling the stands at sporting venues. They mingle freely in places where they used to be shunned for fear they’d seed superspreader events.
It’s as if they’re no longer hazardous to the rest of us. Or are they?
“Clearly, the unvaccinated are a threat to themselves,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shaman, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University. As recently as August, their risk of dying of COVID-19 was six times higher than for people who were fully vaccinated and eight times higher than for people who were vaccinated and boosted, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But, Shaman acknowledged, “the danger to the rest of us is a more debatable issue.”
The Path From Pandemic
This is the third in an occasional series of stories about the transition out of the COVID-19 pandemic and how life in the U.S. will be changed in its wake.
When public officials imposed vaccine mandates, the unvaccinated certainly appeared to pose demonstrable dangers to their communities.
State and local leaders sought not only to suppress spread of the virus, but also to prevent their healthcare systems from being overwhelmed, degrading care for all. The unvaccinated made those goals harder to achieve since they were more likely to become infected and, when they did, to require hospitalization.

I can safely predict with absolute certainty that the LA Times is a model "Operation Mockingbird " staffed news outlet.
Oh, the horror....the Un-Jabbed.....only....it’s the VAXXED we all need to be leary of...with their compromised immune systems causing all kids of issues...just as REAL docs warned us would be happening, with these horrid $hots.
Nope. THe real issue is the folks who drank the KoolAid and got all the vax and booster bullshit...

They are not going to give up easily on their “burn the witches” campaign...
Visions are BS
It is impressed upon me that the scolding pedantic tone brings forth memories of a Freshman Orientation class proclaiming the horrors of VD. Also the equally scolding lectures given to private snuffy before going on leave. My point being that any level of intellectual discourse has been replaced with a nagging ex wife. Imagine someone articulate or intelligent giving the same message. William F Buckley or Dr. Peterson. Even if I didn’t agree with their argument at least I could respect them. These articles come of as written in a Freshman composition class for the special kids with low SAT scores.
....some of us didn’t have a choice. Get the jab, or lose the job, and, by the way, it will be considered a voluntary separation, so no severance or unemployment....
“This week John’s Hopkins published a study that three time vaccinated adults are more likely to suffer severe covid than those unvaccinated.”

So you apparently believe.
Regardless of my vaccination status, I am a clear and present danger to all COVIDIOTS.
Do the vaccinated shed the poison.
Content influencers among us everywhere. A lady that works for a crime scene investigation unit who is my neighbor has a retired coworker who makes $400 a day to hijack, kill, or promote certain social media content from her home. She says there are millions just like her.
Or just dangling from piano wire.
Only in the voting booth.

It was in Epoch this week. Let me go do some digging.
The covidiot karens ARE the witches. I used to think burning witches was a little extreme.
Shun them.
The vaccine has no efficacy. It does not prevent disease or transmission. So what good is it? Will the long term effects cause Kaiser Klaus and Bill Gates to drool over mass casualties? I guess we’ll see.
