Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Vaccines usually aren't a 100% shield. If enough people around you are unvaccinated, you may be at risk too.
Immunity comes in numbers.
That without counting potential mutations in such a favourable environment.
I'd stay out of the US for the foreseeable future.
They don’t need to be 100%.
We didn’t have a measles problem in this county until the fucking morons stopped vaccinating.
Even if you some how manage to get the virus after getting the vaccine your body is better equipped to deal with the virus by a significant factor.
There is absolutely zero reason to not get vaccinated. Stop being dumb.
Nobody in this thread suggested not getting the vaccine. Entire problem is that we are dropping below herd immunity thresholds and that means worse outcomes for the vaccinated and unvaccinatable alike.
And if you get vaccinated it becomes virtually a nonissue with or without herd immunity.
Unless of course you just don’t believe in science.
Emphasis on virtually. It's not 100%. That's why there is talk about herd immunity. I don't think anyone here is proposing to not get vaccinated or that they don't accept the science [1]. I think everyone here is actually in agreement except for the finer point about efficacy not being 100%.

[1] I much prefer this phrasing than saying someone "believes" in science, since science does not require belief.
I believe (not believe in) science because I can check the steps myself if I'm so inclined. In my field, I often do, it's not just a "could but never do" situation.
Not as long as almost everyone gets vaccinated.
You've already been answered plenty and I don't think you've been listening anyway, but for what is worth I wasn't advocating against vaccines, I'm on top of mine (covid included) and I'm always very vocally in favour.
I still avoid putting myself in the way of contagion when I can, and right now that includes staying out of the USA or any country that puts antivaxers in places of authority.
You all are the ones that haven’t been listening.
Get vaccinated and you won’t have issues. It’s really truly that fucking simple.
Learn science.
But no instead you run and hide. You literally are living in fear because of the media. This is the problem with social media.
The real problem is how heavily indoctrinated you are.
Guess who isn’t getting measles right now? That’s right. VACCINATED PEOPLE.
You're hopeless and after this I'm done arguing with a wall.
You go learn science.
Being vaccinated doesn't make you 100% safe, that's a fact. Even if it did, when shit is left free to roam in a herd of unvaxed morons it can mutate.
Beside all that, I'm not hiding or running, I'm staying in my country or going places with mostly reasonable people roaming about.
It's really truly that fucking simple.
The only one here hopeless is you since you clearly cannot understand how vaccines work.
It’s YOU that needs to learn science. If you did you wouldn’t be deathly afraid of a virus you’re protected from. And no it doesn’t need to be 100%.
Without the vaccine you could easily die or have life changing reactions to the measles.
With the vax you won’t even notice if you ever picked up the measles. That’s the difference.
Jfc. You sound like you’re from Texas or some shit. Education isn’t your enemy.
