NYTimes again.
The costs of negativity.
Why are many experts conveying a more negative message?
Again, their motivations are mostly good. As academic researchers, they are instinctively cautious, prone to emphasizing any uncertainty. Many may also be nervous that vaccinated people will stop wearing masks and social distancing, which in turn could cause unvaccinated people to stop as well. If that happens, deaths would soar even higher.
End of quote.
Nounce, do you get that the public health officials have been lying? The thing that this article says is it is "mostly good" is bullshit! They are downplaying the vaccine because if people knew how good it was there would be a mad rush to get it, and there would be even more outrage in the government. On top of that, all these fucking pols hold up vaccine delivery so they can take pictures of themselves giving out the vaccine. There have been some great vaccine photo ops.
The NYT elevated these officials, these lying "scientists" as a means to discredit our former president. Once he was out of office, THEN the NYT started to tell the truth.
People like Fauci almost always fear monger as it is a way to get their attention and to increase their budgets.
Here is the latest idiocy from Fauci.
Could wearing two face masks at once during the pandemic provide more protection than just wearing one? According to White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, "it likely does," he told NBC News' today on Monday.
Before it was no masks are needed and now it is two. What is tomorrow? Three?

I don't know how to more politely say to read the forum, and am surprised how magnimous another member was in providing you with a wealth of information to someone who had yet to take the time to read the forum.

Now a version of the mask story is repeating itself — this time involving the vaccines. Once again, the experts don't seem to trust the public to hear the full truth.
This issue is important and complex enough that I'm going to make today's newsletter a bit longer than usual. [Email address deleted by Admin]
'Ridiculously encouraging'.
Right now, public discussion of the vaccines is full of warnings about their limitations: They're not 100 percent effective. Even vaccinated people may be able to spread the virus. And people shouldn't change their behavior once they get their shots.
These warnings have a basis in truth, just as it's true that masks are imperfect. But the sum total of the warnings is misleading, as I heard from multiple doctors and epidemiologists last week.
"It's driving me a little bit crazy," Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown School of Public Health, told me.
"We're underselling the vaccine," Dr. Aaron Richterman, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of Pennsylvania, said.
"It's going to save your life — that's where the emphasis has to be right now," Dr. Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine said.
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are "essentially 100 percent effective against serious disease," Dr. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said. "It's ridiculously encouraging. ".
The details.
Here's my best attempt at summarizing what we know:
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines — the only two approved in the USA — are among the best vaccines ever created, with effectiveness rates of about 95 percent after two doses. That's on par with the vaccines for chickenpox and measles. And a vaccine doesn't even need to be so effective to reduce cases sharply and crush a pandemic.
If anything, the 95 percent number understates the effectiveness, because it counts anyone who came down with a mild case of Covid-19 as a failure. But turning Covid into a typical flu — as the vaccines evidently did for most of the remaining 5 percent — is actually a success. Of the 32,000 people who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine in a research trial, do you want to guess how many contracted a severe Covid case? One.
Although no rigorous study has yet analyzed whether vaccinated people can spread the virus, it would be surprising if they did. "If there is an example of a vaccine in widespread clinical use that has this selective effect — prevents disease but not infection — I can't think of one!" Dr. Paul Sax of Harvard has written in The New England Journal of Medicine. (And, no, exclamation points are not common in medical journals.) On Twitter, Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, argued: "Please be assured that YOU are safe after vaccine from what matters — disease and spreading. "

So, until enough people are vaccinated and isolated to stop the spread and burn out the virus, people will need to continue to mask up abd be tested for travel in order to stop spreading the virus. Not spreading the virus also helps limit viral mutations.
The PCR test is more accurate in a way, but it only reads if you had enough viral load I your system to show on the test -you can be infected up to 72 hours prior to the pcr test and still show negative--even though you would soon afterward test positive. This leaves a 6 day gap in testing results to travel time: 3 days before your tet and the 72 hours from test priot to flight.
In order to account for these 6 days a little bit, the antigen test exists. Its a rapid test with results in minutes. Generally not as accurate as pcr testing-but the trade is the results are more recent to the travel. Ideally, a rapid tet just prior to flying, 3 days quarantine upon arrival and another test to be free of quarantine to account for infection during travel would be the norm around the planet.

Perhaps Colombia if it instigates a quarantine in the future, will allow those who have been vaccinated not to be quarantined, however how they would verify this is unknown for the time being as any one could fabricate the vaccination cards being issued in the USA. I know that besides the cards being issued, some of those who have been vaccinated will have a digital record of the vaccinations they received. In Southern California they are using an APP in one of the Counties that has complete information about those who have been vaccinated, including the Lot #, date, time, the vaccinator. My guess is some type of registry may be established to verify someone's status as to whether they have been vaccinated, no different than proving your a resident somewhere. So in this case it might be someone submitting a form of ID, the card they were issued at the vaccination Site, and then somebody (Government) verifying thru the APP that was used by the vaccinating agency / County that this person showed up and received the shots / lots / vaccine shown on the card.

Thank you for being the First to suggest that there could be value to the system instead of reflexively discounting it. I am used to skepticism as I made a career if being an "out of the box" thinker, often with better results. I might be the only human in the universe for which the system is suitable, I am not trying to sell it to anyone or say it's a better way. This is not a contest. I can trash it tomorrow or lean on it another five years. One day at a time.

I'll be arriving and I think I'll be choosing an airbnb near centro with no doorman (the building / apartment looks nice). My concern here is, if I bring girls over I have never met, how risky is it to get drugged?

As I understand it, vaccine does not mean one will not get infected. I think a vaccinated person will be similar to asymptomatic case. , then for some people vaccine does not work well.
