Do you think the school district will follow these guidelines? I'm pretty sure here in Texas, they will give the AAP the finger.
I'm in Delaware so I'm sure Joe will make it so. My zip code has a vaccination compliance of 78%.
I have a lot of retired people in my neck of the woods but my age bracket has been diligent as well .
 
He's doing better now. Glad for that. no matter what his views were. But will be interesting to see if his comments change . . . because you never know these days.

My prediction...he'll be saying the same crap he was before. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

I doubt they will. Many cases of people coming down with it themselves or losing a loved one and going right back to the same stuff they were saying before. Logic, or even just good old fashioned reality, is not in play for a lot of these people. It's very cult-like, and that's what makes it scary. How do you reach people who refuse to accept reality?

Hopefully I'm wrong, but previous experience doesn't have me too optmistic.

At least some people are willing to change their minds:

 
Not a bad idea
========================

......I propose a running tally in bold type: covid deaths among unvaccinated vs. vaccinated citizens. Two numbers, side by side. Every newspaper’s front page, every state and federal website, the crawl at the bottom of every cable television news broadcast.

Google can design something cute for its search bar. Facebook owes it to us.

Every day, all day. Two numbers.

We couldn’t do this until now. When I tried to find out how many covid deaths could have been prevented if people just wore masks, the best I could come up with was the public health literature equivalent of “lots.” A study published last October in Nature Medicine hazarded that with masking nearly 130,000 lives could be saved by the spring, but researchers cautioned the model was more a “sophisticated thought experiment” than a prediction, a rough estimate.

But now that we have the vaccine and almost everyone eligible for it can get it, we don’t have to estimate. We can count. And the numbers show the overwhelming odds that a person who dies of covid has not been vaccinated.

As for the minuscule chance that I, as a vaccinated person, could die of covid? That’s because the unvaccinated are choosing to keep the virus alive.
So, let’s make it simple. Let’s ask our best analysts to put out a single set of numbers every day.

The Associated Press, using figures provided by the CDC, found that of the more than 18,000 Americans who died of covid in May, only about 150 were fully vaccinated. That’s 0.8 percent.

Between Jan. 21 and July 9, 2,471 Virginians died of covid; 18 of them were vaccinated, or 0.7 percent.

Between Jan. 1 and June 30, 37,180 Californians died of covid; about 71 — 0.2 percent — were vaccinated.

Maryland reported that of the 130 Marylanders who died of covid in June, none were vaccinated.

130 vs. 0. I can see it on a billboard now..........
