CDC guidelines also now tell us that if you’ve been completely vaccinated it’s safe to be with other people who have also been vaccinated. Indoors. (In a car or private plane?)
The vaccine does not prevent Covid. No one ever said it did. What it prevents is the extreme cases whether it’s the original or the Delta variant.
The CDC can say whatever they want, but the Biden admin rule overrides their guidance. And right now the Biden admin is saying masking on charter flights is required.
And I'll add that if a plane full of Dems is the first time you've been outraged about COVID spread while you sat silently over the last year as Trump held dozens of indoor rallies without masks while this thing was in full swing, you MIGHT be a partisan Republican.
I will be completely honest on this. I am more outraged at the idea of the "Rules for thee, but not for me" attitudes of lawmakers on BOTH sides. This one just happens to be Dems behaving badly. I care more about that than them actually not being masked.
And I am surprised at members of this board NOT being outraged over this as over the past year+ the mantra was all about following the rules and being masked and I was a horrible person because I hate masks etc. But I will say one thing, there is not one single time (at least not that I remember) that I failed to wear a mask when or where it was required.
To followup on this. I'm not trying to just "republicans bad" you.
I'm trying to highlight that believing shit someone said in spite of how ridiculous it sounds, is a pretty common occurrence in that big tent.
I'm not trying to suggest that "lefties" are immune to this phenomenon, but it definitely seems to be less common for people "on the left" to just believe shit they're told, not just without supporting evidence, but in spite of evidence to the contrary.
Let me give you a little hint. I am not a registered Republican. In fact, I am registered as a Democrat.
But to answer some of your questions. These are my opinions, so there are no sources.
I don't believe climate change is a "myth", I simply don't think increased taxes are the solution.
I don't believe Obama is Muslim. I believe he could be a Muslim sympathizer.
I believe we need to control the guns in the hands of criminals, not law-abiding citizens. Control those first, then we can talk.
I am not opposed to abortion. I just think you should be able to make that decision within the first trimester. Mid-second at the latest. Just like most of the European countries people like to hold up as examples. Some European countries even have mandatory waiting periods. Abortion should be safe, legal and rare. I do not agree with those who celebrate their abortions.
There has to be be some element of trickle down in any working economic model. If I want to buy a $10M yacht, there are a lot of people who will earn a living from my purchase. If we as a country only bought things we need, our economy would be a mess. Consumption is a driving force in a healthy economy. But like anything, too much will start causing harm.
