    Everything is start to fall apart. The left is the early stages of abandoning vaccines and masks but their exit strategy is to distort or outright sanitize the position they've held thus far along with all supporting materials. The virus isn't going away and we gamble with each iteration but now the politics matter more than people's lives for the left, as they did all along for the right. I was looking forward to a summer without mass riots but I guess with the left abandoning the COVID fight they'll have to default back to race wars, shame.

    Its obviously changed because covid vaccines don't grant immunity.

    Per CDC

    "Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose."

    So basically I am vaccinated because I had vitamin C and D.

    I'm not speaking for @tharock220. My read on that is the word "protection" replaces "immunity" since we know that people vaccinated for COVID can get and transmit the virus. It appears the risk of hospitalization and/or death is lessened in vaccinated people that catch it but the word "immunity" in the first definition is not accurate.

    There's two things you can do when you find out you're full of s***.

    The obvious one that makes the most sense is to stop being full of s***.

    Or you can just comandeer the English language and decide you're going to change definitions to fit your BS.

    That would be what they've done here. It's much like the left telling us you could have a big old penis and still be a "woman"

    Or, maybe some more angry mobs can beat the hell out of hundreds of police officers and expect to not get arrested or convicted.

    I suppose Trump will have to whine a little louder and a bit farther since that first batch is in prison and the ones that aren't don't seem to be fairing too well either.

    Yea this is what I figured will happen. Without COVID to run on Dems will likely break BLM out again, probably around June-July. We'll have to see but I'm expecting a chaotic summer this year; riots, probably a new COVID variant, and of course another above-normal hurricane season.

    :worry: ~ They F'-ed up again — as usual. Should have changed the definition of 'virus' .

    vi·rus
    /ˈvīrəs/
    See definitions in:
    Microbiology
    Pathology
    ‐ noun
    An infective agent that is captured by cloth bandannas & surgical masking, and is avoidable by keeping distance , repeated vaccine shots and frequent application of alcohol gel.

    You guys know the influenza VACCINE does not provide universal protection either. Arguably no vaccine does because there are gaps in the immune system. If anything the new definition makes sense because the COVID vaccine provides protection against the virus, but new strains make it hard to adjust.

    that is true of every vaccine, no vaccine acted like a condom

    all a vaccine ever did is try to prepare the immune system to fight a virus when one DID get it

    When's the last time you heard of a case of polio here in the United States?

    Essential Meaning of immunity
    1 medical : the power to keep yourself from being affected by a disease
    Immunity Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    To be fair, no vaccine has ever granted 'immunity.' Viral load, cleanliness and general health have always been factors in 'keeping yourself from being affected by a disease' since no vaccine has ever been 100% effective at preventing the targetted disease in 100% of its recipients. For example, since I have been exposed to covid but have never gotten sick from covid, I am by definition "immune" to covid because I have not been 'affected' by covid, and I am not vaccinated, while some who were vaccinated were still 'affected' (infected) by covid. I remain "immune" per the definition of the word until I am "affected" by covid, while they remain simply "affected" by covid and thus NOT "immune."

    ....or, NO ONE can ever be immune to covid until we stop all the mandates and shutdowns that are destroying the economy, since that makes everyone 'affected' by covid.

    But suffice to say, given that 'immunity' never technically applied to vaccines in the first place, it is interesting why the CDC chose now to recognize and address the technicality...

    not sure what your asking, do you think the vaccine prevented Polio from entering the body?

    no, the vaccine prepared the immune system to fight the Polio virus, the rest was all up to our own immune systems to fight the battle if\when we got the virus

    yes, there is limitations to our immune systems, it's not 100%, any complaints, take them to your creator

    When was the last time you read something about polio more detailed than a right wing twitter feed or blog post? Maybe you should.

    yes, the vaccine trains your immune system to fight the virus if\when you do get it

    the vaccine does not act like a condom that repels the virus

    could a variant mutate that the vaccine no longer covers... sure... but that would not be a failure of the vaccine

    could your immune system be compromised and the virus still win, sure ... but that would not be a failure of the vaccine

    I think anti-vaxxers already know all this, but pretend not to at this stage

    Maybe you should go to the CDC website and read it for yourself..... I'll save you the time the last recorded case in the United States was 42 years ago in 1979.

    Because it was a real vaccine that worked.

    they do not realize that if they were exposed to polio today, they best hope the vaccines training is still remembered by their immune system

    as all the polio vaccine did was try to train their immune system, the rest is all on their own immune system or lack there of

    I think most anti-vaxxers at this stage think that God has sent COVID to punish us for permitting gay marriage or some such and the vaccine is "thwarting God's will". We'll get Hurricanes if we don't all dutifully die as we should.
