    Let me put it this way. They used to say that children should not be vaccinated. Now they don't.

    If you want to claim that vaccinations are riskier for children than covid-19 itself, you'll have to find another source.

      There is no recommendation for (healthy) children to take the vaccine, while there is plenty of recommendation for adults to get it. That means the risk of contracting covid and becoming seriously ill for adults is more serious than any side effects from the vaccine. And the same cannot be said for children. You are interpreting their passive stance as a recommendation. I am not.

        The CDC is recommending that children get vaccinated. I don't need the W.H.O. to endorse that recommendation. If they were actually arguing the other way, then maybe I'd have to worry about which one was more authoritative.

            So the vaccines are much less dangerous than covid-19 itself.

              Speaking of advice from the W.H.O.,

              WHO urges fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks as delta Covid variant spreads

              I think I understand the reasoning. Since people who have been vaccinated can become infected, they can also pass the disease on to the unvaccinated. So by wearing masks, they can help protect the unvaccinated.

              As for myself, I think I'll put a mask back on when there is an outbreak in my area that threatens to overwhelm the healthcare system.

                Yeah, no thanks. Not to mention long predicted by anyone with a brain, that the tyrants would give a brief respite and then come up with another reason to put the muzzles back on the populace.

                  It would be different if I lived in Australia, for example, where many people have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated. But I don't feel any urge to wear a mask in order to protect people who willfully choose not to be vaccinated.

                    Good for you. I willfully choose not to be vaccinated because I already had the disease and have natural immunity just as robust if not more so than someone who only encountered spike proteins via a vaccine. I also feel no urge to wear a mask.

                      I haven't worn a mask in over a year. The only difference now is that I'm no longer the only person in a store with my glorious visage uncovered, and I don't get startled looks from other shoppers.

                        As well you shouldn't. Life is one big risk, from birth to death. Besides, if you're vaccinated you shouldn't be contagious anyway.

                        My guess is, if you polled all of the people in this country who are not vaccinated, whether or not you should wear a mask, they'd say "no."

                          There are people who, though fully vaccinated, have died of covid-19. It would be silly to think that they weren't contagious at some point.

                          My guess is, if you polled all of the people in this country who are not vaccinated, whether or not you should wear a mask, they'd say "no."
                          Well, I'm glad they feel that way.
