It interesting to me it used to be far left anti-vaxers my kid doesnt need the vaccine. I wonder what happened to those people are they now with the far right anti-vaxers?
I feel like we'll be 100% open because that's the way everything is trending but also know things can happen. Like all the new lockdowns.
Trust me, I wish including those who have natural immunity with those vaccinated would get us closer to herd immunity. But despite the strength of my own personal want for this to be true, the data are largely skeptical of this. You’re definitely correct in asserting I don’t know the ultimate outcomes of COVID-19 vaccines because no one does. But what I do know is the research thus far strongly suggests the immunogenicity invoked through vaccination is overall more robust and has greater efficacy when compared to natural infection, particularly against variant strains of COVID-19 (see the article, Vaccine-induced immunity provides more robust heterotypic immunity than natural infection to emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, by Skelly et. al., 2021, published on 3/29/21 in Research Square). You are also correct in asserting that, “everybody who medically can should get vaccinated.” The quicker the population realizes this, the quicker we are to restoring some resemblance of normalcy, including at-capacity stadiums and indoor arenas.
It was pretty much 1 person. Self described expert. I debunked him a long time ago. UFC had a full house a few weeks ago in Jacksonville.
lol— You didn’t “debunk” me. Science is dynamic and evolutionary. And just as I claimed weeks ago, we may never reach herd immunity, which remains a fact. Despite the twist you’re attempting to put on it, I’m just as grateful as everyone else that the stadium will be fully open and hopefully at capacity. I’ve been a loyal Knight since 1996 and have donated thousands to the program over the last 20 years. I want nothing but the best for our University and Athletics programs. Now go get your vaccine. ;-)
I debunked your opinion that even all of next year there wouldn’t be full capacity crowds at games. Texas already had. A few schools from Texas in our conference. Florida was trending that way quickly. Now will definitely be that way. No mask mandate announced a few weeks back. You also said schools visiting us would cancel games if we allowed full capacity. Doubt that happens as 90% of country will be allowing fans to attend come August. Uncle Joe said he might let us hang out with a few family members on July 4th outside with a mask.
I’d suggest you go back and re-read my posts. I never concluded one way or the other. I asserted herd immunity = full stadiums, a claim I continue to stand by (only a dolt would disagree). I also asserted it was possible visiting teams could cancel games if they disagreed with Florida’s policies on COVID-19 infection control and safety (as is happening with the cruise industry), a claim I also continue to stand by.
Long story short, we are having full capacity in August.
It's a debate about the events of a previous debate.
Haha it's the off season so I figure it's to be expected. There's just so little to talk about.
Anti-Vaxers were never ideologically left or right.
This. Anti-vaxxers are akin to conspiracy theorists who are on both sides of the political spectrum. An interesting topic to do some easy reading on if anybody likes that kind of thing.
I just requested.OH yeah. Definitely taking that Friday off!
