After 2 and a half years, they are recognizing the fact that natural immunity counts for something and people no longer have to stand six feet apart although they haven't been doing that where I live for over a year. So vaccinated and unvaccinated are equals again and I am glad for everyone who's had a bad time through all of this.
 

I never did any social distancing from the beginning, except when we had those stupid stickers on the floor, telling us where to stand while waiting in line outside stores. No one ever wanted to social distance from me. No vaccines for me, either.
Even when I discuss Covid with people & tell them I'm not vaccinated, so if you want me to stay away, they couldn't care less.

I did social distance when they had the stickers on the floor but they got rid of them last year, where I live, so the CDC is eliminating a rule that no longer existed. No one asked me if I was vaccinated except one store clerk when the masks were dropped last year so I told her what she wanted to hear. Many times in elevators people would say to me, "I'm fully vaccinated." I would reply, "You don't have to tell me that." Really it doesn't seem to make any difference medically. I think it helped people who were scared to death of covid by the media.

I had always expected the "Fear Sell" from the beginning, since it's used to sell so many other useless products.
 
There will be still some push back upset that the CDC is recognizing the inevitable ......
the fear machine did a big job on many and simply put have created division and hard feelings between some people that is not going away after they decide to try and wind down the fear machine.
I think the long term damage will plague us for many years
 
I’m concerned that some people are still treating it like it was an imaginary hoax. How do you explain those millions of people world wide that suffocated to death from it in spite of the most aggressive up to date care. Many still suffering the effects of it. Including grief: like my son in law knowing his elderly vaccinated father was dying regardless of the most advanced care and not able to be at his bedside, and then seeing his otherwise healthy mother waste away from grief and join her love a few month after. No hoax. No joke. Many who said it was, are now dead from it.

People are still dying from it. Mostly elderly from what I've seen at our facility alone.

At first I was interested but it didn't take long to notice things were only happening on TV but real life was a completely different story. I talked to everybody and everybody was talking about the virus so I asked questions which led me to believe the media was exaggerating the danger.

I've never said this virus was a complete hoax but I do think official reaction to it was a psychological experiment. Some never bought into it while others will be afraid for the rest of their lives as we are seeing.
 
Being an advocate for the vaccines, I'm somewhat concerned & humbled. Me and the wife had the first, second and third shots jointly. 2 months after the 3rd my wife ended up in the ER and then hospitalized with blood clots in both lungs. We caught it quickly but now she is on blood thinners and has been since Feb '22. They said it was probably old clots that broke loose. No one suggested a reaction to the vaccines, but the fact remains that it was less than 45 days after her third, she was on thinners and oxygen. Our PCP advised against the 4th booster this spring as a precaution.
 
I wish people did not jump to conclusions on ANYONE who is not scared.........
i do not judge those whom feel safer walking around masked and gloved everywhere.... I see it as they bought all the panic and feel sorry for the anxiety they must have.

The reality for ME is .........
I know a few people who had have had it, with many with other conditions like age/ health issues .......... Most did fine with it and ..................someone that on the surface one might assume have no problem had more issues.
We should have FROM the start studied why some people had zero problem ... (the A-symptomatic) ......instead we treated them as the biggest threat...... we all must mask in CASE we come in contact with the A-symptomatic......
Now as it turned out........ the vaccines simply was making more mild illness or A-symptomatic people .......

Of the people who HAD cases of Covid only around 1% died but some live like ... if you catch it .......plan your funeral NOW ...that is fear mongering IMO.
That is not the reality ....
some died while tragic many who did had other items as well.approx 80% of deaths ......
some have long problems again NO WAY of predicting that .... that is the same with many many other diseases as well...

NO one knows who all had it...... because many may have never tested and some tests were less then accurate.

That's the reality for everyone. But not everyone is willing to acknowledge it.

so you all are ok with getting covid and maybe ending up in the hospital and possibly dying? just askin.

Absolutely not, not for me anyway. I'm vaccinated, boosted, & wear a mask situationally. I did have covid and was lucky, as was my whole little family. It was and still is a negative experience, but not necessarily unnecessary, IMO.

Yes, vaccinated and unvaccinated are physically equals, but not mentally equals. The vaccinated still want to bolster their shaky confidence by thinking they are "protected" by the vaccine.

IDK. If it helps them to feel "protected" sometimes they are. It's a placebo effect. But it shouldn't be forced on other people who don't feel the same. :unsure:
