This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'd be interested to hear the reasons. by FaytlND
Their stance is pretty clear at this point. Until we have better information regarding transmission from vaccinated people or there's evidence we've reached herd immunity through vaccination, precautions should be taken when around those who aren't vaccinated.
I also question the idea that Fauci/CDC should be trying to spin the data to make people feel better. That isn't (and shouldn't be) their job. The problem with doing that is evident in the issue surrounding Fauci's early statements on masks. He attempted to manipulate public behavior to avoid a run on masks which were already in short supply, and that's still frequently cited as a knock on his credibility. People have to decide whether they want an honest assessment of what we know or not.
