    All the masking and distancing restrictions were just a ploy to regulate demand for the vaccines. If vaccinated people are still subject to restrictions, there will be less demand for vaccines. When the vaccines first came out, demand was higher than supply, so they kept the restrictions in order to keep demand down. Now that the supply is higher than demand, they pull out their secret weapon and remove restrictions for the vaccinated in order to increase demand. This explains why the change happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.

    Fauci may be a liar, but he’s not stupid.

    Who was paying any attention to the CDC, anyways.

    For all practical purposes they removed them for everyone since nobody’s checking.

    Maybe as more people are vaccinated, the risk of getting sick diminishes and less restrictions are required. Meno, as safek pekuach nefesh pushes off shabbos, you don’t do any favor to anyone with this thread by discouraging vaccination.

    You missed his point. The loosening of restrictions was sudden and unexpected.

    He didn’t discourage vaccination; I don’t know where you got that notion from.

    Daas, it seems that CDC is simply reviewing science papers, without delving into social science – how the proposed policy will be implemented – while Biden is delegating to scientists to the degree that he is unaware of what CDC is going to say (documented in liberal sources). Similar thing is happening with extra unemployment insurance. First it was obviously not causing extra unemployment, now Democratic governors switching it off.

    now CDC has a preliminary answer to a question I was curious about: can you use antibody test to see whether vaccine worked for you. Their answer seems to be similar to their original position that we need no masks – No, because we did not certify tests to measure vaccine effectiveness; not all tests measure vaccine effect; and that tests are not perfect and you may make a mistake thinking that you are too protected or that you are not … This seems to me to mean – YES, it gives yu meaningful info, just need to make sure antibody test is the right one (that includes the part of the virus that vaccine used) and that you don’t over-rely on the result. So, a guess, if someone would get 3 times a negative antibody test, he should continue masking, and someone who gets a couple of positive tests can be more than 95% assured that he is immune. So, we should be able to separate between those who did or did not get immune.

    Vaccines are still in demand. And they are free. And other countries would say for our extra vaccines. But whatever.
