Hmm, does this "herd immunity" sound a bit like a bunch of lemmings in a stampede? No offense meant, just wondering. Are we waiting for the CDC to give us their "EXPERT" advice, or do we reason with existing stats and facts and make or own decisions when we might feel safe or not?
Question really is: do we feel confident in the vaccination? Or like one famous quote goes "do you feel lucky, *****?"
The point seems to be that the CDC is always late with their opinions. And I do not blame them, because they have to err on the side of safety for the masses. BUT really, how long is too long? Does one wear a safety belt in a parked car? Does one carry an open umbrella inside one's home? Does a COP wear a bullet proof vest to bed? None of these hurt, but is it reasonable or logical?
I find it ironic and somewhat satiric that folks insist everyone get the vaccination and then act as if they do not trust the vaccination to protect them. Is that how you convince others to follow you? Rhetoric question, not requiring an answer.
