Also, what is the death rate/hospitalization rate for high school age kids? .0000001%? You are insinuating we have to keep up the mask games for that absurd risk level? Sorry, not playing. And when did everyone being vaccinated become the new standard? First it was dont overwhelm the hospitals, then it shifted to waiting for a vaccine, then it shifted to herd immunity, then herd immunity itself shifted to north of 85%, now its everyone being vaccinated? I can't keep up with this constant goalpost shifting for when this insanity ends.
I am not insinuating anything. Someone made the statement that "everyone who wants to be vaccinated has been." I corrected that. That's all.
Somewhat, you and I are in agreement on a lot. The death rate for high school kids is indeed low, although not as low as you "0000001%". (The fact that I know one high school kid who died from COVID is evidence of that, because I don't know 10 million high school kids.) And I don't plan to wear a mask on lightly trafficked mountains this summer.

The .000001% was being facetious, but it's definitely in the ballpark of many zeros after the "." Anyone can die of covid, just like people die from getting their wisdom teeth pulled. Rare as hell, but there are stories.
I wasn't going after you personally, more so the argument. Throughout this entire thing, the goalposts for when masks stop have moved no less than half a dozen times. Masking after vaccination is the dumbest exercise I have ever seen in my life. There are exactly 0 peer reviewed scientific studies to show that vaccinated people 1) get infected at any sort of meaningful % 2) vaccinated people spread covid (despite what the MSM will tell you), or 3) that the variants defeat the vaccines.
None of those are true. Thats not to say that vaccinated people cant get infected, I remember seeing a study showing out of 63,000,000 about 6000 had become infected. You can do the math there, that's a statistical 0. The variant fear porn is the most maddening of all the FUD imo. Study after study after study has come out showing these amazing vaccines crush the variants, but thats often used as the excuse for why we must keep masking. If anyone wants to read the studies about the vaccines obliterating the variants PM me.
As soon as someone gets their vaccine they should be allowed to hit the eject button from the crazy train and return to a 100% normal life. The fact that we aren't is anti-science and anti-vaxx. Either we believe in the science and the vaccines or we don't.
