I have been to concerts, theaters and restaurants who require a vaccine card for entry. I am vaccinated with one booster and have no problem showing my card. I never thought “why are they requiring it?”
At the beginning of all this Covid mess, we were all told to get the vaccine and all will go back to normal. You will not get it, you cannot spread it and you can remove your mask after 2 weeks of the 2nd dose. Go back and review. That is what Fauci and Bix said. I am not sure if it was due to the variants, but now they say the vaccine just protects against severe illness. In addition, we have found that a vaccinated person can get it and spread it. This was true in my family. We are all vaccinated with one boost. My daughter got it, spread it to my other daughter, and it spread to me. We did not have a severe case, just a couple of days of feeling crummy. Maybe that is the vaccine working or maybe this variant is mild, especially to healthy adults.
So, why are vaccines being required for entry? Why can’t Novak Djokovic play in the US Open? It is proven that vaccinated people can still spread the disease. Therefore, the vaccine only helps protect against severe illness (if that) of the person who gets the vaccine. The CDC requires folks traveling to the US to be vaccinated. I guess there is an exception for our Southern Border. With this rule, Novak Djokovic has to stay home. The CDC is infringing on our rights to do what we feel is best for ourselves. There is no bearing on any other person, no infringing on others’ rights and not detrimental to any other person’s health. What happened to “My Body, My Choice”?
We are just blindly following along without exercising the next level to make sure this makes sense. We do not push back, even just a little. We just shake our heads at those who buck the system and move on. By the way Djokovic had Covid fairly recently and has natural immunity. Who gave the CDC so much power?
