And this is the exact point I was making regarding spreading the virus. When the CDC and WHO claim that vaccines are 88% effective in preventing the symptoms (Covid-19), and help reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, what they're saying is, vaccines don't prevent the spread. Their lack of any data or even numbers regarding how much it may or may not "reduce" the spread of the virus is even worse. As for all we know, it's a 1% reduction.
Likewise, natural immunity has the same impact of providing immunity, but again, has the same questions regarding spread of the actual virus. Thus, this leads to the rather logical conclusion that whether or not anyone else gets the vaccine may or may not "limit the spread" of the virus. What it will do is help to protect THEM from developing the symptoms aka "Covid-19".
Thus we get back to bodily autonomy. If you get vaccinated, you're unlikely to develop the Covid-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but you may still spread the virus. If you catch the virus and fight it off (whether you develop full Covid-19 or not), you're unlikely to develop the symptoms if you become a carrier again, but you may still spread the virus.
Thus, the ultimate conclusion? Everyone who wants to be protected from the virus needs the vaccine, or to catch the virus. Meaning, you cannot blame "the unvaccinated" if you get sick. You're vaccinated. As it stands, it's more likely that you become an unknowing carrier/spreader, and make the unvaccinated sick than that they make you sick.
And... This is the justification being used for our new and improved (outdoor included!) mask mandates.
See? Science!
Hospitals became strained literally every flu season every year since I was born. You're speaking nonsense. They work on a high capacity business model. Any abrupt surge of patients strains a hospital.
If what your saying is true then restricting entry to restaurants, offices and government buildings to only vaccinated people will not make those environments any more safer for the at risk population than if they let unvaccinated people enter? Why do you think the medical community is pushing for these vaccine mandates if it makes no difference?
