Bidens visit Carters--maskless

[ThatRobGuy]

Covid, trivial???
Haven't you been watching the news? We all have to do our part! We're all in this together! We can't afford to have biden thumbing his nose at Covid in front of the cameras. What kind of message does that send to our young people?

Yes, they have done their part...they've gotten vaccinated before meeting with each other indoors.

If this had happened a year ago, pre-vaccine, then you'd have a point.

For instance, when Gavin Newsom was trying to lock his state down hard, and was spotted going out to a big dinner with a large group of people, maskless, that's a clear pouncing opportunity.

Look, if you're trying to point out liberal hypocrisy on the topic of covid, there are much better examples to use.

I can even help you out...

Last year, When liberal pundits were exclusively placing blame on "Trump supporters" for propagating the virus over some nonsensical "Karen thinks a haircut is more important than saving lives" trope, based on one woman's sign at a re-opening protest, while simultaneously ignoring the packed house parties that were having to be busted up in Chicago and West Hollywood.
U.S. Coronavirus Highest Day Ever

I elaborated it on it a lot in several posts last year...

Or when Chris Cuomo used to go on TV on CNN, and praise his brother for "saving lives" (even though his numbers were terrible, and weren't any better than DeSantis's or Kemp's) while dragging those two through the mud for "putting economy over lives", that would be another example.

Wouldn't it have been nice if families (ordinary families not connected to the ruling class) would have been able to make that decision for themselves last Thanksgiving without having to worry about the gestapo coming in and arresting them?

It would have been absolutely delightful if families had been able to make the decision last Thanksgiving about getting together while fully vaccinated. I would have liked to have seen my son in my home instead of in the backyard. Unfortunately, we didn't have many vaccinated families at the time.

Anyway, what does that have to do with what you said about the science?

Yeah he took a real hit for that, which was appropriate.... unlike this silly OP proposition.

 

[chevyontheriver]

All parties are fully vaccinated - so what's the problem?

It's still a political disease.

This sounds like one of those contemporary "conservative" post-modern notions.

No. There is the virology and there is the political spin from both sides. The spin is much more prominent than the science. One does not need to be a hard-core anti-vaxxer to see that.

How much longer can this insanity go on? It is time to impeach Biden and put Trump back in office.

Back in office? Was he actually president? It was Obama straight to Biden, wasn't it? I thought it was a bad dream I had last night.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Whoops... that significant detail was left out of the political jab at the Bidens.

Well, then the whole truth is politically inconvenient, half will do.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Lol, no kidding! What's that all about? Are they really that much bigger, or strange shot angle, or...

Wide-angle lenses tend to make the ends look bigger than the middle.
Plus, the Carters were leaning backwards while the Bidens were more vertical, but the use of a flash eliminated the shadows, which would've registered in our brains.

Makes for a real funhouse effect, doesn't it?

That makes sense. Yeah, it looks right trippy.

Yeah, tell that to India. What utter bunk.

True, even the soft-core anti-vaxxers can see it.

So why bother with a mask at all?

That argument is less than honest.

When you are fully vaccinated only with others who are fully vaccinated, then you don't have to bother with a mask. However, if you are with people whose status is unknown, then it is safer to wear a mask. Does this answer your question?

No, that doesn't answer the question.

Why would there be any difference? I mean the vaccination works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work; then one vaccinated person could carry the disease, and spread it to another vaccinated person.

If it does work; then why would it matter whether or not a vaccinated person was exposed to someone, vaccinated, or unvaccinated, who was carrying the virus?

So in other words, behind closed doors he's taking unnecessary risks; but out in public he puts on a good show; while he tries to tell others how to live their lives?

Scary. Are you indoors? Is that person wearing a mask? Are you going to go for a test?
